Vote: Who should be SBLive’s Upper State South Carolina Defensive Player of the Week (Sept. 28-29)?
We have seven athletes nominated this week for SBLive’s Upper State South Carolina Defensive Football Player of the Week from Sept. 28-29 and we ask you, the fans, to help decide who should indeed be the top athlete selected. Voting will conclude on Saturday, Oct. 7 at 11:59 p.m. and the winner will be announced in next week’s poll.
Here are this week's nominations:
Tradd Coulter, St. Joseph’s Catholic
This is what you call being a ballhawk. Coulter intercepted three passes in the Knights’ 56-8 romp over Calhoun Falls Charter.
Campbell Johnson, Boiling Springs
Though his team lost 14-10 to Dorman, Johnson was a force on defense with 14 tackles, including 1.5 for loss and an interception.
Brannon Teamer, Dorman
Teamer had two interceptions and made seven tackles in the Cavaliers’ 14-10 over Boiling Springs to open region play.
Talan Scott, Easley
The 6-foot-1, 215-pound senior linebacker led his team with 13 tackles, including one for loss, in a 63-12 win over Pickens.
Drew Spires, Richard Winn Academy
This guy’s motor never stops running on either side of the ball. Spires played linebacker in the Eagles’ 51-0 win over Conway Christian. He hauled in two interceptions, returning one of them 89 yards for a touchdown while making 13.5 tackles and recording a sack.
Jaiden Kimble, White Knoll
Kimble led the way with 9 tackles, including 2 for loss, to fuel a defense that allowed just 78 yards in a 40-0 shutout of River Bluff.
Steven Joseph, Newberry
The junior cornerback was locked onto the football, hauling in three interceptions as Newberry ran past Eau Claire 56-0.
