The sound of heavy machinery was ringing through the confides of Bison field at New Buffalo High School, as the Northwoods league’s newest team, the Dune Coast Quillbacks were setting up for the future.
Co-owner of the Quillbacks, Bryan Williams believes the newly announced team name fits perfectly for the area they will be playing in.
“We’ve heard a lot of people say, ‘well, there’s no porcupines around here,’ but if you research, the porcupines were very present in the Dunes along our shores in Southern Lake Michigan,” Williams said.
“We have had tremendous support from the community, which is why we can do stuff like this.”
