BONNEVILLE COUNTY - When Bonneville starts a play, it normally looks like a rugby scrum, but all of a sudden, quarterback, Parker Buck pops out like a pimple on prom night.

At 5'9" 209 pounds, he's like trying to tackle a hog, and the fact that he plays linebacker for Bonneville's defense, makes him tougher than your mother in law's meat loaf.

Because of that, Parker ran for 170 yards, and passed for 250 more in last week's upset win over Idaho Falls.

Of course, growing up in the Buck family, where your two older brothers were stars and your dad is the coach, always helps.

Parker Buck is more than just an outstanding football player, he's a state qualifier in wrestling, and an excellent student.

Parker Buck, the always improving quarterback of the Bonneville Bees, is a clear choice as our KIDK Student Athlete of the Week.

This week Gov. Otter signed a bill requiring Idaho to sue the federal government if Congress passes health care reform. What's your response to this?

  • It's great to see Idaho taking the lead on this. Someone has to stand up to what's happening in Washington.
  • We can't afford to pay for education in Idaho, but we're going to spend tax dollars to sue the feds? Ridiculous.
  • Not sure.
