Vote: Who should be SBLive's Tampa Bay Florida high school football offensive 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 13 athletes nominated this week for the SBLive’s Tampa Bay high school football offensive 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.
