We had a light slate of games in Week 8, but that didn’t stop area high school football players from putting up another round of eye-popping statistics.
The ballot for this week’s RBC Heritage Player of the Week voting includes a little bit of everything – dual-threat quarterbacks, ground-pounding running backs, defensive dynamos, and two-way standouts.
We’re running a little behind this week, so the voting will spill into Friday. Get your votes in by 9 a.m. ET on Friday, and we’ll put a bow on Week 8 and move on to Week 9.
