BluegrassPreps.com/Kentucky News Network Player of the week!

[theguru]

From KNN Al:

 

Hi gang--it's that time of year for the 2008 KNN High School Scoreboard Show.

 

We'll again be using your nominees for Player Of The Week, and the official rankings will come from BluegrassPreps.com.

 

We'll be heard on at least 30 stations around Kentucky, with more on the way. I'll post a full station list as soon as it's finalized.

 

As always, I'd like for all of you to post the stations in your area that air high school games. We'll use reports from those stations in the show as much as possible. If you know the identity of the announcers that's a bonus.

 

When nominating a Player Of the Week candidate, please include the players name, school, size, (ht/wt), class, (soph/jr/sr) and position. Then give an accurate listing of the stats he posted that week. Carries, yards, etc.

 

We'll use all the nominees and give them a mention, and then one will be chosen for POW.

 

Thanks for all the help in advance, and enjoy the season!
