The Lootpress Player of the Week Award sponsored by The Law Offices of Brandon Steele has arrived in the Kanawha Valley!
Over the last three years, we at Lootpress have elected a Player of the Week winner in the southern coalfields. Last year we extended to the Kanawha Valley (Boone, Kanawha and Putnam counties, giving the area its own poll with its own players to choose from.
Below are the candidates for the eighth week of the prep football season. Voting will close Monday at 4 P.M. The winner will be announced on the Lootpress Sports Lowdown Show which can be found here. The fan vote will be used in the event of a tie. There are also changes to the Player of the Week voting pertaining to the top overall vote getter that you can read about here.
The top overall vote getter will advance to our Community Choice poll at the end of the regular season where the winner of that poll will receive a $500 scholarship.
In order for a player to be eligible or nominated, the stat keeper or coach must report all scores and statistics to Tom Bragg at [email protected] For any questions please contact [email protected].
