Vote: Who should be SBLive's North Suncoast Florida high school football offensive player of the week (11/5/2023)?
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 11.
As such, we have 12 athletes nominated this week for the SBLive’s North Suncoast Florida high school football offensive player of the week award from November 2-3, and we ask you, the fans, to help decide who should indeed be the top athlete selected. Voting will conclude on Saturday, November 11th at 11:59 p.m. The winner will be announced in next week's poll.
