Great players win big games, but sometimes with the help of an unlikely hero. Sometimes, you need Ollie to make two free throws to help Hickory reach the State Championship Game.
So... for this year's playoffs, I aware the Ollie McLellan Award to the following players:
Wild Card: David Long, Jr.
His "Johnny on the spot" pick 6 help turn this one into a rout. Long has received a fair amount of criticism, but that was a play we, and he, will remember for a long time.
Divisional Round: Joe Noteboom
Filling in for the injured Andrew Whitworth, Noteboom played a flawless game against a fierce Tampa Front-7. Without that effort, that game could have played out much differently.
NFC Championship: Kendall Blanton
Easy choice. He made several key catches filling in for Tyler Higbee, who went down early with an MCL sprain.
Who will it be in 2 weeks?
Stay tuned!
