SHELBY SPEED – FAN VOTE

Banks County sophomore Shelby Speed showed up for the Lady Leopards with a State Championship individually in the discus event. She followed that up with an 11th-place finish in shot put, earning her second POW award (one in softball earlier this season).

BRANDON MARTIN – BLITZ PICK

Brandon Martin closed his career in legendary fashion. The Commerce senior led his team to a state championship, and individually took the top spot in the 3200, 1600, and the 4×800 Relay. He was also 4th in the 800. This is Martin’s fourth weekly award.
