About this Article

Second-year Cary-Grove football coach Brad Seaburg made sure during the off-season he identified the leaders of his team. In an impressive move, Seaburg met with each senior player and his parents at the player's house. "I visited every senior and their mom and dad and asked who are the leaders on this team," he explains. While a variety of different names came up during the conversations, one player was a constant. "In every house, Quinn Baker's name was mentioned," Seaburg says.
