IN-HOUSE HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL PLAYERS OF WEEK
Editor's Note: While The Sumter Item picks four local high school football players for Players of the Week each week for recognition by the Sumter Touchdown Club, most of the local schools pick their own inhouse players of the week. The Sumter Item will be publishing those for the remainder of the season beginning today. Players who have been honored before last week's games and were reported to the sports department are on this list. There will be a list for each week's set of games over the remainder of the season provided by the respective schools.
