HUNTER TATUM – FAN VOTE

Junior Hunter Tatum is off to a sensational start for the Raiders. The Habersham Central junior pitcher went 1-0 last week in 2 appearances, sporting a 0.77 ERA. He allowed just one earned run, 4 hits, and 4 walks in 9 innings of work, and struck out 11 batters. This is his first POW award.

COOPER SCOTT – BLITZ PICK

Cooper Scott got it done on both sides of the ball this past week. The junior outfielder/pitcher was huge for Lumpkin County. He batted .357, racking up 6 hits, including a homerun and 3 RBI, scoring 3 runs. He recorded a .400 OBP and .571 SLG. He was flawless in the field defensively. To top it all off, he converted 2 save opportunities on the mound in 3.2 innings of work. This is Scott’s 3rd POW award of his career (2 in football).
