ROCK ISLAND, Ill. — Illinois Quad Citizens have a new special day to remember on March 21 — Moline Maroons Day. The Illinois Class 4A Basketball state champion team was honored at the Tuesday Rock Island County Board meeting just over a week after the end of their historic season and playoff run. After an informal reception prior to the meeting, a unanimous vote by the Board proclaimed the special day as the team, coaches and parents watched and accepted the honors. The 2022-2023 Maroon basketball team capped off a historically successful 35-3 season with the program's first state title as Quad Citizens from across state lines put aside their rivalries unite to cheer them on.
