Week 11 Player of the Week: Athens Academy’s Keyon Standifer

Athens Academy’s Keyon Standifer, joined by coach Josh Alexander, was named GHSF Daily’s Player of the Week after scoring five touchdowns against Rabun County in Week 11.

It was the third time this season that Keyon Standifer scored five touchdowns in a game. The previous two came in one half, as Athens Academy won easily with backup players and running clocks in the second half.

On Friday night against Rabun County, the Spartans needed all five – especially the 98-yard kickoff return in the third quarter that got them within 43-36 and the 56-yard reception for a 49-46 lead in the fourth quarter that stood up as the final score.

Standifer finished the regular season with 28 touchdowns – 20 receiving, five rushing and one each returning a punt, a fumble and a kickoff - and one region title.

Standifer, a junior committed to Georgia Tech, is GHSF Daily’s Player of the Week. The award is sponsored by Alfa Insurance.
