Brand New for 2020 – the Habersham EMC Linemen of the Week. Long have people asked for the guys who do the dirty work to get more recognition. Now, they do. Each week in the 2020 season, we will recognize an offensive lineman (or the full line as it is often a joint effort), and a defensive lineman, sponsored by Habersham EMC.

This week’s winners are Devin Sullens (White County) for the O-Line, and Alex Aaron (Habersham Central) for the D-Line.

DEVIN SULLENS – WHITE COUNTY

Senior tackle Devin Sullens earns his second BLITZ Habersham EMC Linemen of the Week award of the season after a great performance against #8-ranked Cherokee Bluff. He helped guide the Warriors to a big-time win, and recorded 7 knockdowns and 4 pancake blocks.

OTHERS WHO STOOD OUT: Kalik Sullian (Stephens County), Cole Patterson (Jefferson)

ALEX AARON – HABERSHAM CENTRAL

Junior defensive end Alex Aaron and his Raiders had to play two games in one week. His first game was incredible, a win over Central Gwinnett. His next against Shiloh was pretty solid also. Aaron earns his first-ever BLITZ award after tallying 11 tackles, 4 tackles for loss, a sack, and a forced fumble. For the season, Aaron has 37 tackles (10 for loss), 3 sacks, 2 fumble recoveries, and 1 forced fumble.

OTHERS WHO STOOD OUT: Jahari Burns (Stephens County), Malachi Zellars (White County; 4 TKL, 3 TFL); Spencer Neese (Jefferson; 6 TKL, 2 TFL); Drew Allison (Lumpkin County; 6 TKL, 1 TFL, 3 Sacks, 2 QBH, 1 PBU)
