Peoria Central HS vs. Quincy

[tornado]

Last year when these two high schools played there were fireworks, fights, technicals, and ejections...
Peoria Central head coach Dan Ruffin REALLY wanted to drop Quincy from future scheduling after the stuff that happened last year - much of which was caused by the extremely aggressive actions of the Quincy players & coaches..

well - Dan Ruffin didn't get his way - so Central had to go down to play Quincy last night - and I think events kinda proved Coach Ruffin was a prophet...
Here are a couple different versions of the events of last night but it sounds like Central got severely hammered and homered....and the Quincy press version doesn't mention a thing about the foul discrepancy or "issues"..

You don't go to Quincy for a fair game. That has been known for years.

I traveled to Quincy many years ago to watch high school basketball and they definitely have a huge homecourt advantage, always wondered why any team not in their conference would want to play them as it is not a good drive and the homer factor.

some of their advantage has come over the years via illegal means - and they've been caught and penalized for it as well....but rumor has it that it still goes on...

Way more of that kind of stuff has gone on in Peoria over the years.
