TYLER RICHARDS – UNION COUNTY

Tyler Richards pitched brilliantly last week for the Panthers. The Union County senior pitcher earned the win with a spotless 0.00 ERA, striking out six batters in a 3-hit shutout. This is his first POW award.

CHARLIE MILLS – HABERSHAM CENTRAL

Habersham’s Charlie Mills is a large reason why the Raiders earned a back-to-back state playoff berth. The senior infielder hit .400 last week with seven RBI and five runs scored. This is his first POW award.

ESTON SIMPSON – JEFFERSON

Jefferson’s ace pitcher showed out last week. The Dragons’ senior hurler picked up a win after striking out 10 batters and allowing just a hit and two walks across six innings. This is his second career POW award.
