Vote: Who should be SBLive's South Suncoast Florida high school football defensive player of the week (11/13/2023)?
The Florida High School Football Playoffs have begun and we continue our Player of the Week polls for areas all around the state. Teams started off the regular season with some great individual performances in the region quarterfinals.
As such, we have eight athletes nominated this week for the SBLive’s South Suncoast Florida high school football defensive player of the week award from November 9-10, and we ask you, the fans, to help decide who should indeed be the top athlete selected. Voting will conclude on Saturday, November 18th at 11:59 p.m. The winner will be announced in next week's poll.
