Vote: Who should be High School on SI’s West Virginia Football Player of the Week? (11/12/2024)
West Virginia high school football is back and so begins our Player of the Week polls for the state. Teams showcased more of what they’ve got heading into Week 9 of the regular season.
As such, we have 10 athletes nominated this week for the SBLive’s West Virginia Football Player of the Week award from October 31-Nov. 2, and we ask you, the fans, to help decide who should indeed be the top athlete selected.
The freshman quarterback had a strong outing in Pendleton County’s 41-40 win over Moorefield, completing 17-of-30 passes for 295 yards and five touchdowns.
SBLive voting polls are intended to be a fun way to create fan engagement and express support for your favorite high school athletes and teams. Unless expressly noted, there are no awards for winning the voting. Our primary focus is to highlight the abilities and accomplishments of all the athletes and teams included in our poll. You can vote as often as you wish and are encouraged to share our polls with others. The use of voting bots and other forms of automated voting are not allowed. Individuals will be removed from the poll if any form of automated voting can be verified. – SBLive Sports
Voting closes at 11:59 p.m. Sunday, Nov. 17. The winner will be announced in the following week’s poll. Here are this week’s nominees:
No running back was putting up the kind of numbers Wack was in last week’s 35-30 win over Wheeling Park. Wack rushed for 302 yards on 32 carries and scored four touchdowns.
Barker has one of the biggest passing nights of any passer last week, with the quarterback completing 24-of-40 passes for 347 yards and six touchdowns in a 48-47wn over Parkersburg South.
Koroneos led the way in Wheeling Central Catholic’s 48-7 shellacking of Shady Spring, rushing for 150 yards on just six carries and scoring two touchdowns.
The Oak Glen running back went off in a 44-0 victory over Tygarts Valley, rushing for a game-high 202 yards and scoring three touchdowns.
Marks was on point in Tucker County’s 60-21 victory over Hamshire last week, completing 10-of-15 passes for 177 yards and five touchdowns.
Another offensive player from Tucker County that had a huge night was Reall, who rushed for a game-high 274 yards and scored a touchdown.
The Nitro quarterback went off in the team’s 68-20 victory over Greenbrier East, with Moody throwing for 338 yards and four touchdowns.
In Cameron’s 40-13 victory over Pendleton County, Wallace rushed for a game-high 155 yards on 27 carries and three touchdowns.
Despite coming in a losing effort to Princeton, Bartley rushed for a game-high 237 yards and scored six touchdowns.
The sophomore running back had himself a night in a 61-18 win over Gilmer County, rushing for 231 yards and scoring five touchdowns.

West Virginia commit announces decision by blasting ‘Country Roads,’ lighting a couch on fire
A big moment in any student-athlete’s career is announcing what school they’re committing to, and I don’t think you’re going to find an announcement better than one we’ve got coming from one of the newest West Virginia Mountaineers.
What’s that smell? It… it smells like a couch burning to the sounds of the Mountaineers’ beloved John Denver “Take Me Home, Country Roads.”
You bet your sweet a– that’s what it is.

Ethan Lawson is a 6’6″, 300-lb offensive lineman and part of the 2027 recruiting class.

According to Sport Illustrated he has fielded offers from a bunch of programs including Appalachian State, Liberty, Air Force, Army, Navy, Duke, Wake Forest, UConn and more.
But, they all missed out because Lawson posted his decision on X, and well… I think he was always West Virginia material.
Bobcat Goldthwait was burning couches on camera before it was cool.
But, alright, there’s no doubt about it: someone is about to sell some jerseys.

And if there’s not a furniture store in Morgantown that brings in Lawson and fellow offensive line recruit Kevin Brown (who also lit a couch on fire because that’s becoming a thing) for an ad, then… then, well, I don’t know what, but it would be quite the missed opportunity.

Hey, like it or not, sometimes in the age of NIL it can be a popularity contest. If fans like you, it could mean greater visibility and more lucrative deals. Perhaps that was the mission here, and we all know it worked.

I refuse to believe any Mountaineers fans saw that video, heard the song and then didn’t reflexively raise a beer (even if they didn’t realize they were drinking one and say, “Hell yeah, brother.”)
We’ll see if the sort of thing translates onto the field, but even if it doesn’t, I feel like there’s money to be made making appearances and lighting furniture on fire at frat parties.
BRISTOL, Va. (WCYB) — Crews put out a house fire in Bristol, Virginia, on Wednesday morning, according to officials.
