Vote: Who should be the Florida Panhandle offensive player of the week (10/9/2023)?
High school football is back in the Sunshine State and so begins our Player of the Week polls for areas all around the state. Teams started off the regular season with some great individual performances in Week 7.
As such, we have 12 athletes nominated this week for the SBLive’s Florida Panhandle Offensive Football Player of the Week award from October 5-6 and we ask you, the fans, to help decide who should indeed be the top athlete selected. Voting will conclude on Saturday, October 14th at 11:59 p.m. The winner will be announced in next week's poll.
