There wasn’t a lot of football played in the Lowcountry last week, but one player had the game of his high school career in his team’s season opener Aug. 20.
Porter-Gaud senior running back Freeman Barber ran for 221 yards on 27 carries and scored all three of the Cyclones’ touchdowns in a 20-0 victory over Bishop England. For his effort, Barber is The Post and Courier’s high school football player of the week.
Another noteworthy effort came from Philip Simmons junior placekicker Griffin Gore. In a 29-0 win over Georgetown, Gore had a perfect night. He converted all four of his extra-point kicks, booted two field goals, with a long of 37 yards, and recorded a 69-yard punt that was downed at the five-yard line.
High school coaches can nominate top performers for the weekly prep football honor roll and player of the week. Please email supporting stats and information to shelto66@hotmail.com by 6 p.m. on Monday.
