Quincy Scores Two Big Wins over Reading on Senior Night
The Quincy Orioles celebrated Senior Night with a pair of Big 8 Conference wins over rival Reading. In two competitive games the Orioles came away with a 9-8 win in extra innings and a 5-1 win.
In game one there were plenty of heroics. The Orioles never led in the game until Christian Craven slammed a 1-0 fastball to centerfield to score Bryson Estlow with the winning run in the bottom of the 8th inning.
Landon Beardon had a huge 3 run double in the 7th inning to push the game to extra innings. The Orioles took advantage of 14 Ranger walks to stay in the game. Jimmy Maynard also had a big game with one hit, 2 runs scored and two RBI. Craven led the way with 2 hits and 2 RBI. He also pitched in the 6 th inning recording two big outs. Alex Barry and Estlow scored two runs.
Perhaps the best highlight came from the pitching combo of Maynard, Craven and Ryan Kempter who came on in relief of Maynard to get the win. Maynard entered the game in the 2nd inning and worked into the 6th inning before being relieved by Craven and Kempter.
In game two the Orioles rode the pitching of Mason Graves who threw a complete 4 hit game with 9 Rangers punch outs to get a 5-1 win. Graves also added two hits and an RBI. Craven was at it again at the plate with two more hits while lead off hitter Brennen Allman added two hits and Kempter one. Barry had a key sacrifice fly to score a key run in the 5th inning to add on a run.
The Orioles close out Big 8 Conference play with a 9-5 record. They are 15-12 overall and travel to Jackson Lumen Christi on Saturday with a return matchup with the Titans.

A few reminders for Quincy High School Class of 2025...
QHS students have been raising funds to support families that were affected by the California wildfires. Their donations were placed in a jar with a staff member's face - and the top two with the most money got a pie to the face!
Mr. McCavit came in first with over $90, and Mrs. Wegner was in second with $45! Thank you for putting your faces on the line for a great cause!
Enjoy some photos of the pie action!
Thank you Mr Archie for getting our new signs! Be on the lookout for them around campus!
Well done first grade and Mrs. Taylor on your amazing Spring Sing!
You did beautifully!
Just a reminder....
Happy Mother's Day! Thank you to all our mothers, stepmothers, grandmothers, aunts, and everyone else who step in to fill those roles for our kids! Dale and Mr. Suever wrapped up the week on Friday with our video. If you've ever wondered what life is like with middle schoolers, especially near the end of the year, this week's video exemplifies it!
