Hall of Fame Inductee - R.S. Brackman

Served as Quincy High School principal from 1937-67, a time when the Blue Devils' athletic program grew into one of the strongest in Illinois. Brackman was a sports enthusiast who developed and nurtured a special relationship with all players and coaches. He attended virtually every athletic event during his tenure, and he will always be remembered for establishing the lottery sales system for the distribution of state tournament tickets. At the time of his retirement, he said one of the changes that pleased him the most during his administration was the increased community support of Quincy High School's athletic teams. Brackman, considered a true friend of athletics, was a charter member of the Quincy High School Sports Hall of Fame.
