492 and counting. Quinn Kwasniak entered Cornerstone’s contest with Dalton four 3-pointers short of McDonald’s Zac Rasile record of 485. He tied the mark in the first quarter against the Bulldogs on Jan. 25. Then, early in the second, he put up a shot from the 10-foot line for the volleyball court and found nothing but net to pass the record. He finished the contest with seven 3s and 38 points as the Patriots held on for a 78-77 victory. It’s another mark for the Patriots’ senior leader. Kwasniak is already in the OHSAA record book for the most 3-pointers made in a season, with 155 in 2023-24. He is also fourth on that same list with 124 made his sophomore year. “I didn’t think much of it until my coach/Uncle Danny (Schikowski) mentioned my grandpa and how proud he would be of me, and it really hit me,” Kwasniak said. “I’m never satisfied. Every day I go into practice or a game with a chip on my shoulder, and that won’t change. I’m so blessed to be in this position that God has put me in. I never thought I was ever going to Cornerstone. It’s crazy to see how God has worked in my life.” This season, Kwasniak is at 100 in his senior campaign with five regular-season games and the postseason in Division VII to come. There is another mark that he is chasing as well — the Ohio all-time scoring mark. Kwasniak is at 2,825 career points, which is fifth all-time. Ahead of him are Jay Burson of John Glenn (1981-1985) at 2,958, Luke Kennard of Franklin (2011-2015) at 2,977, Rasile (2016-2020) at 3,013 and Jon Diebler of Fostoria and Upper Sandusky (2003-2007) at 3,208. Kwasniak is currently averaging 37.4 points per game. At that clip and with the remaining schedule for Cornerstone, he would finish the regular season with 3,012 points, 196 away from tying Diebler. Unlike the other accolades he has earned, Kwasniak has been looking at the numbers. Kwasniak knows that the scoring title is in range, but he is after a second banner in the Patriots’ gym to go with the one from 2015-16, and the school’s first state trip since 2017-18. “There’s not a day that goes by where I don’t think about it,” Kwasniak said. “I know how much it would mean, not only to me but to my team and this program. But I’m trying to shift my focus to the present and not get too caught up in the future.It won’t be easy. Watching my dad’s teams at Saint Joe’s growing up showed me that every playoff game is a battle, and any team can lose.”
