Vote for The Sun News’ high school football Player of the Week: Aug. 26 poll
For the first time this season, parents in Horry and Georgetown County can vote for who had the best performance during Week 0 of the high school football season.
Voting ends at midnight Thursday and will be announced Friday, Aug. 30, 2024. Voters can find out who won by visiting The Sun News’ website. The announcement will also get posted on Ben Morse’s X, formerly known as Twitter account.
