After three weeks of competition, the 2024 North Carolina high school season will conclude with more spectacular shows.
Throughout the season, a Player of the Week will be selected by SBLive/SI. Here are Week 3’s ten nominees.
Congratulations to last week’s winner: Harley Moyer of Union Pines.
The purpose of SBLive voting polls is to provide an enjoyable means of encouraging fan participation and showing support for your preferred high school teams and athletes.
There are no prizes for winning the voting, unless specified. Our main goal is to showcase the skills and achievements of every player and squad that is part of our survey.
You are welcome to share our polls with friends and are free to vote as often as you like. Voting bots and other automated voting methods are prohibited. Anyone found to have participated in any automated voting will be eliminated from the poll. – SBLive Sports
