Class 5A Helmet Stickers

Tyson Greenwade - Dalton
Greenwade might still be running as he totalled 371 yards and six touchdowns in the 49-27 win over North Murray. If his offensive production somehow wasn’t enough, he also picked up an interception on defense.

Loganville Tight Ends 
How can you argue against the sensation that is sweeping the nation? In the 4th OT, TE Connor O’Neill took a handoff running backwards and heaved the ball over his head to a diving TE Joshua Ruder for the game winning TD against Monroe Area. 

Jamal Bing - Dutchtown
Bing and the Bulldogs had a big test in facing Stephenson in Week 1. He rushed for 10ypc by taking 15 caries for 147 yards and a touchdown in the 24-13 win. 

Class 4A Helmet Stickers

Khalil Barnes - North Oconee Titans
Not 1, Not 2, Not 3…but FOUR interceptions on the night for Khalil Barnes as he helped the Titans get over the hump and beat Oconee County. Barnes and the defense held the Warriors to just 13 points on the night. 

Corey Richardson - Whitewater Tigers
Richardson set the tone for the season by giving Whitewater the 7-0 lead just a few seconds into the season. He took the opening kick off 98 yards for the score and helped Whitewater win 27-14 over Northgate.

Roan Dutta - Pace Academy Knights

Class 3A Helmet Stickers

Colter Ginn - Peach County Trojans
Ginn was a human highlight reel as he led the Trojans to a 50-20 win over Baldwin. He was able to do all of his damage in the first half of the game as he threw for 270+ yards and three touchdowns

Ron Golden - Liberty County Panthers
Golden and the Panthers found themselves trailing after leading Southeast Bulloch for the majority of the game. With 7 seconds left, Golden went up in traffic and came down with the game winning touchdown for the 33-29 win. 

Gavin Hall - Hebron Christian Lions 
Hall and the Lions had no problem finding offense on Friday night in their 63-13 win over Chestatee. Hall passed and rushed for over 400+ yards all by himself as he also found his way into the endzone four times.

Chip Cooper - Worth County Rams
Cooper is locked in as QB1 for the Rams and he showed why on Friday night. He ran for two scores and threw for another as Worth County rolled to a 28-6 win over Turner County. 

Blake Konchak - North Cobb Christian Eagles
Having your birthday on opening night of the season? Pretty good. Leading your defense to a 21-14 win while having 8 tackles, a pass break up, and a forced fumble? Even better. 

Aaron Proctor - Tattnall County Warriors
Proctor and the Warriors had their way offensively as they rolled to a 48-6 win over Claxton. Proctor had big runs all throughout the night and managed to find his way into the end zone three times.
