Voting is now open for the Branch County Week 4 Football Player of the Week

BRANCH COUNTY – We here at The Daily Reporter are running a tad behind, as we have yet to release this week’s The Daily Reporter High School Football Player of the Week poll. Since we delayed things by a day, voting early and often is more important than ever, as we do not have a long time to decide who had the best week.

The poll will go online at 9 a.m. on Wednesday and will run through Thursday at 9 p.m.

Union City and Bronson both took wins in week 4, with Union City remaining unbeaten at 4-0 while Bronson improves to 3-1. Coldwater suffered a late heart-breaking loss at Northwest while Quincy and Tekonsha both dropped big conference battles.

There were numerous deserving efforts across the county so we here at The Daily Reporter have done our best to honor each and every one. So, without further ado folks, here are this week’s nominees for The Daily Reporter Week 4 High School Football Player of the Week.
