With games played between October 14 and 19, fans are buzzing over standout performances across various teams. In an exciting twist, fans are encouraged to participate by voting for the Alabama High School Football Player of the Week.
This week’s nominees demonstrate powerful individual efforts on both sides of the ball, including offense, defense, and special teams. One of the highlights features a junior running back, who, standing at 5-foot-9 and weighing 219 pounds, put on a show for the Tigers by rushing for 78 yards and scoring two touchdowns, helping his team clinch a 29-14 win over Carver-Montgomery.
Another notable mention comes from a star senior, who was an absolute force on defense with 16 tackles, including six solo tackles, leading the Yellow Jackets to victory against Clay-Chalkville with a score of 21-10 in a crucial battle of undefeated teams.
Special teams work has also been highlighted this week, with a standout kicker making three successful field goals that engineered a 23-14 win for his Bulldogs over Central-Phenix City. In another remarkable showing, a Clemson commit threw for over 200 yards and four touchdowns, steering the Jaguars to a 42-7 blowout and capturing their first regional title since 2015.
Fans are also raving about a freshman who electrified the field with three touchdowns, contributing to a monumental 63-0 victory against Oak Mountain. Even a dual-threat quarterback shined brightly, throwing for 257 yards and running for an additional 94 yards and two scores in a dominant win for the Aggies over W.S. Neal.
Voting wraps up on Sunday, October 27, at 11:59 p.m., and winners will be announced in next week’s poll. It’s an exciting time to rally for your favorite high school athlete and show community support by casting your votes!
