Brothers, Bruce

One of the greatest basketball players in Quincy High School history. His three-year varsity career from 1949-52 is simply referred to as The Brothers Era. The Blue Devils reached the single-class state tournament at Huff Gym in Champaign in each of his three seasons with records of 25-6, 29-4 and 28-5. Quincy finished third in the state in 1951 and lost in overtime to tiny Hebron in the 1952 championship game, still considered one of the most memorable in Illinois High School Association history. Brothers, a 6-foot-5 post player, scored a then-school record 1,464 points during his career. He also held records for most points in a game (39), field goals and free throws made in a career, and rebounds in a career at the time of his graduation. He is still No. 10 on the all-time state tournament scoring list. Brothers was voted the most valuable player in the North-South Classic in Murray, Ky., a game that featured future NBA star Tom Heinsohn, and he was named Mr. Basketball by Chuck Taylor, a nationally known authority. Other honors bestowed upon him in high school include: two-time Associated Press first-team all-stater; as a junior, he was named to the Champaign News-Gazette and the Chicago Daily News second-team all-stater; and as a senior, named to the Champaign News-Gazette and Chicago Daily News first-team all-stater. Brothers went on to become a three-year starter at the University of Illinois. He was named team MVP as a senior. Brothers rejoined his Quincy High School coach, George Latham, in the Waukegan School District, and later spent more than two decades as a teacher and coach in the Maine Township School District. He was voted to the Illinois Basketball Coaches Association Hall of Fame and was a charter member of the Quincy High School Sports Hall of Fame. Courtesy of Blue Devil Hall of Fame.

Kramer, Jack

Kramer, Jack

Jack Kramer played the game of basketball for Quincy High like no other before or since. His ability to manufacture points and hit clutch shots were a thing of beauty. During his four years at the varsity level (1982-1986), the Devils rolled up 87 wins, with Jack Kramer scoring 1760 points, currently second in the school's history. The talented left-hander time and time again demonstrated his knack of scoring from anywhere on the floor. As a freshman, he averaged 6.8 points per game and increased that figure to 14.3 the following year. His junior year, Kramer shot over 48 percent from the floor, added 99 points from the foul line, collected 7.6 rebounds per game, while averaging 17.2 points per game. And he would get better. In his senior season of 1985-86, against double teams and gimmick defenses, Kramer scored 719 points; an average of 24.8 per game. He created opportunity, going to the free throw line 205 times and making good on 82 percent of his attempts. Off the court honors for Jack Kramer were numerous. As a sophomore, Kramer was chosen as the team's best defensive player, was second in assists and was named to the All-Western Big Six team. His junior year saw Kramer being named as the team's best defensive player, assist leader, second leading rebounder and another berth on the All-Western Big Six team. One year later Kramer was recognized as one of the best players in the state; collecting All-State honors from the Chicago Sun Times, Chicago Tribune, Associated Press, UPI, the IBCA, the Champaign News Gazette and was an honorable mention McDonald's All American selection. Kramer was again Quincy's top defensive player, was the leader in assists, second in rebounding, was first team All-Western Big Six, selected as the Devils' Most Valuable Player and was chosen as the Quincy Herald Whig Player of the Year. Kramer graduated with a number of school records, including most free throws made for a career with 398, second in field goals made with 688, second in points scored with 1760, and thir in assists with 500. Ranked by the "Sporting News" as one of the top 100 players coming out of high school in 1986, Kramer went on to play at the University of Michigan, before transferring to the University of Alabama at Birmingham where he earned his degree.

Payne, Michael

Let there be no doubt as to the importance of Michael Payne to the Quincy High Blue Devil basketball program. During his days wearing the Blue and White, the Devils won 91 games, lost 4 and captured the Illinois Boys Class AA title in 1981. Payne saw significant time as a sophomore, averaging 6.1 points per game. He grew to a height of 6'11" during the off season which helped solidify a spot for Michael in the Devils starting line-up in the years that followed. As a junior, Payne averaged 14.9 points and 11.0 rebounds per game for a team that posted a record of 26-3. That effort earned him recognition as the Devil's Most Valuable Player. He was also chosen as the Quincy Herald Whig Player of the Year. In his senior season, with Payne at the point of the Quincy press and flanked by Bruce and Dennis Douglas, the Devils rolled to 33 straight wins and a State Title; the programs first since 1934. For Payne, who averaged 16.7 points and 9.5 rebounds per game, the honors were numerous. He was selected as an All-American by both Street & Smith and Parade Magazines and would later represent Quincy in the prestigious McDonald's All-Star game. Payne's name was on every All-State team in Illinois. He was Co-MVP of the Quincy Thanksgiving Holiday Tournament and was again named as the Quincy Herald Whig Player of the Year. After high school, Michael followed in his father's footsteps, choosing to further his education at the University of Iowa. He starred there all four years under Head Coaches, Lute Olson, and later, George Raveling. Payne was drafted right out of college by the NBA's Houston Rockets, but a plethora of big men (Hakeem Olajuwon, Ralph Sampson and others) in the Houston camp forced Michael to take his talents overseas. He played professionally in France, Italy and Australia for almost a decade before his career was cut short by a series of re-occurring knee injuries in the late 1980's.

You can't forget the way he demanded respect. You can't forget the level of intensity he brought to the court. You can't forget Todd Wemhoener. Earning varsity basketball letters all four years at QHS, Wemhoener took it upon himself to lead. He knew others would follow. After a averaging 18 points a game for a 17-7 Blue Devil team his junior year, Wemhoener assembled 3 of his closet friends and entered every three-on-three tournament they could find during the off season. That effort earned the Blue Devils of 1990 a spot in the state's final four. Wemhoener sparked Quincy with an 18-point average-was named the teams MVP-earned spots on 2 All-State teams-and was chosen as the Herald Whig Player of the year. Wemhoener left QHS as the school's all-time leading three-point shooter and the 8th all-time scorer in school history. An athletic scholarship to Illinois State University provided Todd with another challenge-perform at the Division I Level. He responded--- starting all four years-and was named to the All-Defensive Team in both his junior and senior season. Wemhoener earned a spot on GTE's All-Academic team his junior year was chosen as team captain his senior season. He graduated from Illinois State in 1994 with a Bachelor of Science Degree in Communications. Todd and his wife, Missy, reside in Swansea, Illinois where he manages a financial institution.
