Clay-Chalkville 38, Blackman (Tenn.) 7.
Another SEC-bound 2016 prospect has been crowned his team’s first Player of the Week award winner. All-state Clay-Chalkville receiver T.J. Simmons was one of many reasons for the Cougars’ dominant debut. He caught four passes that he turned into 151 yards and a pair of scores. When the Alabama commit wasn’t catching passes, he was paving the way for others as an overpowering blocker. Simmons is awarded by Erik Harris.

Pinson Valley 28, Hartselle 13.
Nick who? The first question Indians’ head coach Matt Glover got at the Jefferson-Shelby high school football media days was, “How’s life without Nick Gibson?” Junior Torrey Hendrix answered that question for his coach on Friday night, when he exploded on to the scene with 150 all-purpose yards. He would put the game out of reach with a catch-and-run that won’t soon be forgotten. Hendrix is awarded by Kyle Parmley.
