QHS boys stay at No. 3 in Class 4A, but three of top six teams in poll suffered losses Tuesday night
The Quincy High School boys basketball team remains at No. 3 in the Associated Press Class 4A basketball poll. The top two teams in the poll lost on Tuesday — Homewood-Flossmoor was beaten 65-61 by Bradley-Bourbonnais, and Curie lost 73-66 to Lindblom. No. 6 Collinsville also lost 62-57 to Highland in overtime.
However, voters turned in their ballots before games were played on Tuesday, so don’t expect any shakeup at the top until next week’s poll.
