Waukesha South's Isaiah Pitchford Nominated for Player of the Week

Waukesha South High School running back Isaiah Pitchford has been nominated as the WisSports player of the week. Voting continues until 4 p.m. Thursday and people can vote once a day from different devices.

Here is what WisSports wrote about Pitchford's performance on Friday in the Blackshirts win over Muskego:

"Waukesha South is off to a bit of a surprising 3-0 start to the season, and on Friday night scored one of the most impressive victories the program has had in several years. Traveling to Muskego, the Blackshirts were down 14-6 with just over 9 minutes left in the game when a blitz of scoring began. Behind two rushing touchdowns from Pitchford, South found themselves tied 28-28 with just seconds remaining. Pitchford then booted the game-winning 34-yard field goal with three seconds left to give South a 31-28 win. He finished the game with 25 carries for 165 yards and 3 touchdowns on the ground."

Pitchford is currently a handful of votes behind another nominee, Ricky Williams, from Edgerton High School.
