            Dodge County’s Peyton Bush and Veterans’ Parker Lee have been named Ray Guy High School All-Americans. They’re among nine kickers and 11 punters from across the nation to be named.

            Bush made the kickers’ list and Lee the punters. Jack Breedlove of Maynard-Jackson at kicker and Kevin Jones of Harlem at punter were two other Georgians named.

            Peach County alum Mitchell Fineran made the kicker and combo kicker-punter lists last year.
