Vote: Who is the Virginia Football Player of the Week (11/27/2023)?
The Virginia High School Football Playoffs anre in full swing and we have our Player of the Week polls for the state heading into the postseason. Teams in the playoffs have had some great individual performances so far.
As such, we have eight athletes nominated this week for the SBLive’s Virginia high school football player of the week award from November 24-25, and we ask you, the fans, to help decide who should indeed be the top athlete selected. Voting will conclude on Thursday, November 30th at 11:59 p.m. The winner will be announced in next week's poll.
Editor’s note: Our corresponding poll is intended to be fun, and we do not set limits on how many times a fan can vote during the competition. This poll is specifically for fans to vote on the players that have been nominated and in no way discredits any other player that may not be mentioned in our poll.

Brandon Pena, QB, Stone Bridge: The junior quarterback completed 8-of-11 passes for 120 yards and two touchdowns in a 29-7 defeat of Briar Woods.
