There are so many (including his older brother) who might be jealous of him, and it’s quite the opposite. “encourage letting him fly whenever he’s open. He has so much to work on, but he’s in the perfect place to grow as a player, a person, and a Christian.
Quinn and the rest of the Patriots now turn their attention to the playoffs where Cornerstone hosts Rittman on Feb. 22 in a Division D-IV semifinal.
