These student-athletes will play football for the Hawks, beginning in the fall of 2013. “Recruiting is a year-round process, and being hired last December (2011) didn’t allow for the full recruiting cycle to take place. Now that we had a full cycle we certainly took advantage of it,” said Pajic. “We wanted to recruit good, solid football players regard- less of position. Our evaluation consisted of their abilities to play the game at a high level and production.” This football recruiting class – the second under Pajic – consists of 29 total players from three states, including Illinois (15), Missouri (13) and Iowa (one). “Our focus was certainly in region,” said Pajic. “When I was hired, we talked about recruiting our backyard and I believe we ac- complished that with this class.” Quincy will open the 2013 season at Western Illinois of the Football Championship Subdivision on Sept.7 in Macomb, Ill.

  • Cougars Announce New Head Boys Basketball Coach
    COUGARS ANNOUNCE NEW HEAD BOYS BASKETBALL COACH Jim Maley has been named head boys basketball coach at James B. Conant High School, effective with the 2017-2018 season. Maley takes over the program from long-time head coach Tom McCormack, who is retiring after 33 years as head coach, 32 years at Conant High School. McCormack has a 576-342 (.627 winning pct.) all-time record, including 13 seasons with 20-plus wins, and his teams have made two “Elite 8” appearances, and have five Mid-Suburban League titles. “In looking for a new coach, we knew we had very big shoes to fill,” said Conant High School Principal Julie Nowak. “Coach Maley brings a combination of expertise, a proven record of success and most importantly a tremendous sense of passion and dedication to his players and the game. He is a modern, thinking man’s coach who is as cerebral as he is athletic. He is exactly what we were looking for to lead our boys basketball program.” Maley, who also will teach physical education at Conant High School, has been the head varsity coach at St. Laurence High School (Burbank, Ill.) for the past three years, posting a 41-49 mark. During that time, his Vikings delivered the school’s first winning season in 10 years, and won more games than the team had in the previous six seasons and more Chicago Catholic League games than the previous 10 years combined. Prior to that, Maley spent three years (2011-2014) as head varsity coach at Kenwood Academy, taking the team to contenders in the Chicago Public League Red (top) Division and posting a 46-34 record.
