The Hanceville senior recorded 17 points against Cold Springs, 14 points in a win against Class 2A No. 1 Holly Pond and 16 points in a championship-clinching victory against Class 4A No. 3 Good Hope to help the Bulldogs (21-6) earn their first county title since 2016.

Not only did Harris drain a clutch 3-pointer to send the matchup against the Raiders into overtime — the Purple and Gold ultimately won 64-63 — but he also shot 48 percent from beyond the arc and produced 11 rebounds, six steals and two assists during the three-game stretch.

Harris is The Times’ Athlete of the Week.
