“I think that shows a lot of

Bucks have utilized him in
some double-pass trick plays.
Throughout the season
Quinn has pretty much

showing him what it takes to

starting with leadership.
“You have to have that

As for what he has planned
after high school, well, it’s
still up in the air. Right now,
Quinn has one thing on his
mind that would leave a
perfect mark on his legacy —
a win over Hermiston.
“This is it, this is our
chance,” he said. “We’ve
always talked about our
goal coming into the season
to be CRC champions, and
it might not be how we
wanted to picture it, but as
crazy as it sounds it’s still
possible. We just have to
come out and play football
like we know how.”
