Kentucky high school football is back and so begins our Player of the Week polls for the state. Teams showcased more of what they’ve got heading into Week 3 of the regular season.

As such, we have eight athletes nominated this week for the SBLive’s Kentucky Football Player of the Week award from September 5-7, and we ask you, the fans, to help decide who should indeed be the top athlete selected.

The senior quarterback was finding the mark in the team's 24-10 upset win over Louisville Trinity. Mcwilliams completed 21-of-34 passes for 365 yards and three touchdowns.

George Kibawa, South Warren
