Congratulations to the Quincy boys and coaches who competed at the State Basketball Championships tournament in Spokane March 15-17. The traveling basketball team is made of boys, each of them a seventh-grader at Quincy Middle School. They and their coaches are (above): back row, left to right – coach Braulio Flores, Julio Barajas, Osvaldo Teran, Jose Luis Buenrostro, Rocko Reyes, Jody Gardner and coach Jen Gardner; and front row, left to right, Diego Ruiz, Ty Snow, Jones Ferguson, Jett Bierlink and Javier Ramirez. The word is parents appreciate the dedication and care of coaches Flores and Gardner in guiding the boys through a memorable season, including driving them to and from practices and tournaments. The boys played four games in the tournament: lost their first one then won three in a row to be named Conciliation Champs. The team is also to be commended for qualifying for the state tournament by winning second place in Wenatchee at the 33rd annual Steve Talbot Invitational, and for repeating their 3-1 performance in the state tournament from last year, with most of the same players.
