The sports calendar is beginning to flip over as the spring semester rolls forward. Baseball and softball players have returned to the diamond, while South Mississippi basketball teams are still pushing toward Jackson in the playoffs.
It’s time for vote for the Sun Herald of the Week for Feb. 22. This is not a scientific poll, and you can vote as many times as you’d like until voting ends at 6 p.m. Friday, Feb. 25.
