It’s time to vote for Sun Herald’s MS Coast Athlete of the Week for December 12
This week’s athlete of the week poll reflects the winter heat of every basketball court in South Mississippi beginning to heat up.
And on the pitch, the competition is growing more important by the week as an all-important January nears.
This is not a scientific poll, and you can vote as many times as you’d like until voting ends at noon on Monday, Dec. 19, at www.sunherald.com.
