Week 3 Player of the Week: North Hall’s Ty Kemp

North Hall’s Ty Kemp was joined by head coach Sean Kemp for the presentation of GHSF Daily’s Player of the Week award.

North Hall senior Ty Kemp isn’t the best known wide receiver on his own team, but he proved last week that opponents had better know who and where he is at all times.

Kemp had eight receptions for 177 yards and three touchdowns in a 43-31 victory over Cherokee Bluff in a game between top-10 Class 3A teams. One touchdown came on a fourth-and-23, another on a third-and-19.

North Hall coach Sean Pender says Kemp is among his hardest workers. Kemp routinely catches 200 balls from the Jugs machine after practice.

“He is extremely diverse,” Pender said. “He is only 5-8 and runs 4.7, so he does not get much traction from college recruiters. What he lacks in measurables, he exceeds in intangibles. Ty along with Cole Cable, our all-state receiver, makes our passing game pretty dangerous.”

Kemp is GHSF Daily’s State Player of the Week. The award is sponsored by Alfa Insurance.
