KNOXVILLE, Tenn. — A pair of Gavins are walking away with the 10Sports Blitz Player of the Week honors in week two after stellar performances.

"They were all so excited," he said. "It's been the talk of practice all week."
As for Defensive Player of the Week, Gavin Cameron from Halls High School is taking home the week two honor. The senior defensive end led the Red Devils to a huge win against Gibbs High School, recording 13 solo tackles, four tackles for loss and one sack.
"I had a really good game against Gibbs, and it's driving me for next week," he said. "I felt really good about rushing the quarterback in that game."
Campbell County goes on the road to take on The King's Academy on Friday at 7 p.m., while Halls travels right up the road to Fulton for week three.
