Athlete of the Week: Mike Sherman

Every Thursday, the Powder Springs-Lithia Springs Patch will select a high school athlete that exceeded expectations on the field of play.

When starting running back Chris Nwagbara went down with a knee injury Friday, backup Mike Sherman stepped in and didn’t miss a beat. For that, and his performance on the field, Sherman is the Powder Springs-Lithia Springs Athlete of the Week.

Sherman scored two touchdowns Friday, one from the 3-yard line and the game-winner from one yard out with just over four minutes to play to give the Indians a 20-13 victory on the road over the top team in the state.
