Quintier Ready For Future After Honors At Graham
Johnny Quintier, 18, captained Graham Highs in a season laced with accolades. He won the Bill Dudley award, headed the Daily Telegraph All-Area baseball team, and earned a scholarship to Edison Junior College in Florida to play basketball and baseball. He aims to prove himself in college by developing a changeup and slider while balancing two sports. He recalls a past fastball and curve that confounded umpires, and he envisions a long athletic career beyond high school.
