Fans can cast their vote for the Sellars Funeral Homes Player of the Week and Line of the Week award for third-round playoff games around the area.
The poll will be open until 6 p.m. Central time on Wednesday, Nov. 27. One vote can be cast per voting period.
Regular-season winners are again eligible in the playoffs, but can only win once more before the BlueCross Bowl.
Make sure to watch 615 Preps LIVE each Wednesday on our YouTube channel to see who we select as the winner. Our team submits their votes for Player of the Week, and the fans’ poll winner gets one vote on the show as well. If there’s a tie, the fans’ voting serves as the tiebreaker and the higher-finishing player wins. The Line of the Week award is entirely fan-voted.
Please note: Stats must be sent to us by 5 p.m. Sunday in order for players and lines to be considered. Please have your stat person message us @615Preps on Instagram or X (formerly Twitter) or email them to us at 615preps@gmail.com.
