Hamner Placed on Administrative Leave

Citing a news release from the Hannibal School District, Chris Duerr from KHQA and Matt Schuckman from the Quincy Herald-Whig both report that Pirates head football coach Quentin Hamner is on administrative leave pending an investigation into an unsettling accusation. Hamner missed Friday night’s game at Moberly for what was described as “personal reasons”. Jason Noland served as acting coach and Hannibal defeated the Spartans 48-13. Noland will serve as the Pirates acting head coach moving forward in the playoffs.
