Voting closes at 11:59 p.m. Sunday, Oct. 20. The winner will be announced in the following week’s poll. Here are this week’s nominees:
The junior quarterback keeps putting up incredible numbers for the undefeated Rams. In a 57-41 win over West Stokes, Neal was 24-of-31 for 335 yards and 2 touchdowns without a turnover. On the ground, he ran 11 times for 111 yards and 3 touchdowns. The 5-foot-9, 160-pounder, who is being recruited by colleges as a wide receiver, has completed 79 percent of his passes this season.
Jackson accounted for five touchdowns as the undefeated Cardinals rolled past Carver 53-24. He threw two touchdown passes, ran for two more touchdowns and scored on a 35-yard pick-six.
The undefeated Red Tornadoes’ quarterback fired four touchdown passes in a 44-6 rout of North Iredell. Stober, who was recently selected to play in the Shrine Bowl, is a Samford commit.
The 5-foot-10, 190-pound senior tailback put on a spectacular performance as Warriors outscored Cannon/Concord Academy 61-40. Williams ran for 361 yards and 7 touchdowns. It only took him 15 carries to put up those numbers.
Simco, the Wildcats’ quarterback, ran for 231 yards and 4 touchdowns as his team swamped Croatan 42-14. His touchdown runs were 59, 4, 42 and 66 yards. Simco also had 123 yards passing with 3 interceptions.
McCormick threw six touchdown passes in the Bears’ 56-12 rout of Northside-Jacksonville. Five of those touchdowns came in the first half. The junior quarterback has 22 touchdown passes for the season.
Atkinson tossed four touchdown passes – three more than 40 yards – as the Rams dismantled previously unbeaten Millbrook 35-0.
The Tennessee commit was nearly perfect, completing 13-of-14 passes for 232 yards and 4 touchdowns in a 49-7 pounding of Ragsdale. Brandon also had 34 yards rushing on 3 carries.
The 5-foot-10, 200-pound sophomore linebacker was a dominant force in the Grizzlies’ 17-0 shutout of North Davidson. Byrd made 16 tackles to go along with an interception, a sack and 4 hurries.
McKnight was close to perfection in the Greyhounds’ 42-7 runaway win over Surry Central. The senior quarterback was 15-of-17 for 281 yards and 3 touchdowns.

GRANITE FALLS, N.C. (WBTV) – A man was killed and a teenager was hurt after a head-on crash in Caldwell County on Sunday.
The deadly crash happened along Highway 321 near Glenn Ridge Drive in Granite Falls, just before 7:45 p.m. on June 28.

After four years at Duke, Grayson Allen is back in North Carolina, now a member of the Charlotte Hornets.
Former Blue Devil Grayson Allen will play home games in North Carolina for the first time in his professional career after four years at Duke. According to ESPN’s Shams Charania, Allen is on the move to the Charlotte Hornets after three seasons with the Phoenix Suns.
Allen was traded alongside Royce O’Neale and draft capital in return for Miles Bridges and draft picks. Allen was at Duke from 2014 to 2018, earning an NCAA championship and two All-ACC selections.
With Allen now a member of the Hornets, this will create a Duke trio in Charlotte, which includes Allen, Kon Knueppel and Sion James.
