Other SCFCA award winners were Greer’s Noah Hannon (Lineman of Year), Sumter’s Pressley Harvin (Specialist of Year) and Palmetto’s Doug Shaw Jr. (Coach of Year). The winners were picked from total of 25 players and 10 coaches on the Palmetto Champions Team announced earlier this month.
This year's banquet won’t be held because of the delay in the football season as a result of Hurricane Matthew. The SCFCA will name its Mr. Football on Dec. 10.
