Banks County’s boys are in the Elite Eight (as are the girls), but for the rest of the area teams, the season is a wrap. We reveal our 2018 Tennis Player of the Year nominees for boys tennis.
As always, we collect our nominees from head coaches at each school. These are NOT for public voting.
WHAT’S NEXT? The nominees list will be narrowed down into a finalist pool. Our BLITZ voting panel, consisting of up to 20 members, will vote Heisman-style to determine the Player of the Year.
Clay Dockery – White County
SR #1 Singles | 5-4 Record
Gabe Martin – Banks County
SR #1 Singles | 12-3 Record

Dale Simpson & Drew Dorsey – White County
#2 Doubles | 6-4 Record
Ben Smith – Stephens County
JR #1 Singles | 12-4 Record

Gunn Thiennukul – Tallulah Falls
SO #3 Singles | 4-6 Record

DISCLAIMER: Habersham Central, Dawson and Commerce did not return attempts to receive a nominee. Rabun and Lumpkin declined to nominate a boys tennis player of the year nominee.
