It’s time to vote for Sun Herald’s MS Coast Athlete of the Week for January 9

A new Athlete of the Week poll is here. Soccer is back in full swing as it and basketball season hit the home stretch before postseason play arrives on the Mississippi Coast.

This is not a scientific poll, and you can vote as many times as you’d like until voting ends at noon on Monday, Jan. 16, at www.sunherald.com.

Get to know the Sun Herald Athlete of the Week nominees here:

  • Sydnei Barber, West Harrison girl’s basketball: The freshmen guard dropped 26 points with five rebounds, three steals and two assists in the Hurricanes’ 48-43 win over Long Beach.
