Meet the nominees in defensive football for the Coastal Empire High School Sports Awards
The Savannah Morning News, with the Coastal Empire High School Sports Awards program, presented by Georgia Port, is proud to announce the nominees for Defensive Football Player of the Year. The winner will be announced during the live show this spring (date and venue to be announced). The program is produced with support from Chatham Orthopaedic Associates.
During the live show, these nominees will be honored, along with the athletes of the year in 23 other sports. Nominated athletes who RSVP will receive a free ticket to the event thanks to sponsors. Additional tickets may be purchased on the show’s website, which will be coming soon.
