The playoffs have arrived and South Mississippi baseball and softball talent is taking the statewide stage.

These are some of the top performers from the first weekend of playoff action.

This is not a scientific poll, and you can vote as many times as you’d like until voting ends at 5 p.m. Friday, April 29.

We have girls and boys athletes representing St. Patrick, Vancleave, Stone, St. Stanislaus and Harrison Central in this week’s poll.
