Fifty-six (56) players from 35 high schools across the state were added to the Week 3 Watch List™ to potentially be awarded with nominee medallions based exclusively on their performances during the first three weeks of the 2019 season.
To be eligible to appear on the Week 3 Watch List™, a player must have participated during the first three weeks of the current season, recorded an exceptional performance and be in good academic standing. Each week, a Selection Committee made up of members of Arizona high school sports media will officially award nomination medallions to players across the state. The 2019 Ed Doherty Award winner will be selected at the Ed Doherty Award Luncheon on Dec. 14, 2019 at the Scottsdale Resort at McCormick Ranch.

The goal of the Week 3 Watch List™ is to focus on how players perform exclusively in the first three weeks of the current season.
