Here are this week's nominees:

Ian Rafferty, Summerville

Good coaching often involves making in-game adjustments. Carolina Forest sought to shut off Summerville’s dynamic passing games. So, the Green Wave pounded the ball. Summerville racked up 444 yards on 50 carries in their 63-35 win.

Anthony Reitenour, Jefferson Davis Academy

It’s not every day when you topple a dynasty. The Raiders won the SCISA 8-man title by holding off three-time defending state champion Holly Hill Academy 35-20.

Jon Wheeler, Hammond

The Skyhawks have pretty much owned SCISA football and they won their seventh consecutive state championship. They can handle adversity, too. Hammond trailed 14-0 before recovering for a 28-21 win over Laurence Manning Academy.

Brian Rimpf, Camden

The Bulldogs were behind two touchdowns before rallying for a 35-28 win over Gilbert in the third round of the 3-A state playoffs.

Aaron Brand, Irmo

Brand has directed the Yellow Jackets to an undefeated season and their first state semifinal appearance since 2010. Irmo’s latest impressive performance was a 34-7 rout of previously undefeated James Island.

Dutch Fork, Summerville, Irmo, South Florence roll on in SCHL playoffs

Rusty Charpia, Brookland-Cayce

The Bearcats are in the 3-A state semifinals for the first time since 2017 and they got there with a 53-27 throttling of Crestwood.

Corey Crosby, Bamberg-Ehrhardt

The Red Raiders dismantled a good Cross team 41-6 to reach the 1-A semifinals. Bamberg-Ehrhardt is 12-1 for the season.

Greg Porter, Greenville

The Red Raiders went on the road to win a 42-41 thriller over perennial power Northwestern in the third round of the 2-A state playoffs.

Russell Blackston, Belton-Honea Path

The Bears held off Clinton in a 27-24 thriller in the third round of the 2-A state playoffs. Belton-Honea Pathi is 13-0 after the close call.

Steve Watson, J.L. Mann

Watson and the Patriots turned back Hillcrest 21-13 and advance to the 5-A semifinals. The Patriots are 11-2.
