Citizens Bank Player of the Week for Week 1

It’s time to name the first Player of the Week award, presented this season by Citizens Bank.

Four finalists were named on our Twitter page @615Preps, and fans voted on their choice.

Vote until Thursday at 5 p.m. Central – this vote counts for 1/3 of the total votes. We'll cast ours this week on the #615PrepsPodcast and announce it on Thursday night.

Chris Brooks and Scott Burton also cast their votes on this week’s 615 Preps Podcast, with each vote counting one-third of the total, and both of those votes give the award to La Vergne senior running back Ray Banner for his 273-yard, five-touchdown performance in the Wolverines’ 49-35 win at Rockvale on Aug. 20.

We will present Banner’s award to him at a later date, but congratulations to him and all the finalists on a stellar performance in the first week of high school football in Middle Tennessee.
