Each week coaches will be able to nominate their players for Player Of The Week. We will have one position player and one pitcher. We will highlight other top performers in our Diamond Notes articles. Check back each week to see whose names make the list. 

2023, SS, Sam Brush, Athens Academy
UGA Football commit. The SS/RHP/QB1 had a huge week for Athens Academy leading them to 3 wins over Putnam County, Clarke Central, and Alcovy. He was 6 for 7 at plate with 2 singles, 2 doubles, and 2 home runs. He drove in 9 runs and scored 6 himself, he also walked 5 times, had 2 hit by pitches, and stole 6 bases. On the mound he tossed 4 scoreless innings with 5 strikeouts. I am sure Bush will continue to have a monster year, and we look forward to seeing him playing QB at the University of Georgia.  

2025, RHP, Drew Hammock, Crawford County
Hammock had 2 strong starts against Taylor County and John Milledge Academy. He threw complete games in both starts earning himself 2 wins. Between the 2 starts he had 11 innings pitched giving up 7 hits and 3 runs. He tallied 22 strikeouts, and only walked 2 batters.
