Two former Georgia high school players - North Carolina DE Tomon Fox and Georgia Tech LB Charlie Thomas - were named Monday among the ACC's players of the week. Fox, the defensive lineman of the week, had a career-high three sacks for 16 yards and six tackles in a 28-25 victory over visiting Miami. Thomas, the linebacker of the week, matched a career high with nine tackles and set career highs with two sacks, two tackles for losses and a forced fumble in Georgia Tech's 14-10 win over South Florida. For which Georgia high schools did they play? (Answer Wednesday)

Answer to Monday's question: Norcross was the 2013 defending champion that lost its opener 55-0, then came back to win its second consecutive state championship. Norcross lost to B.T. Washington of Miami.
