On an off-Saturday back in 2018, Shane Keck decided to watch what the young kids were doing in the Glacier Peak Youth Football league,

In a third-grade game, Keck stood in amazement when a small quarterback kept rifling passes down the field with zip and accuracy.

“I thought, ‘Holy smokes, he is good!’” Keck said. “The little guy could really chuck the football.”

Fast forward to this fall, that “little guy” — sophomore first-year starter Oliver Setterberg — is really making Keck’s offense at Glacier Peak High School fun to watch … and much more difficult to defend.
