Freeport, Illinois-Aquin basketball standout Sophie Brunner and football quarterback Nolan Brannick are two of 20 finalists in Illinois for the Wendy's High School Heisman Award.

Brunner led the Aquin girls to a State Championship last March. Brannick passed for more than 2,000 yards this fall for Aquin's 8-2 football team.

As the competition narrows for the 2012 Wendy's High School Heisman Award program, 20 of Illinois' top scholar-athletes were announced today as State Finalists for the prestigious award. These finalists are now in the running to become State Winners, the next phase of the program as applicants advance to become National Winners.

Of the 45,000 seniors who applied nationwide, 1,451 applicants came from Illinois and have been narrowed down to the state's 20 finalists. These finalists embody the Heisman spirit of hard work and dedication through their outstanding achievements in athletics, academics and community/school leadership.
