It’s time to vote for Sun Herald’s MS Coast Athlete of the Week for March 13
The final week of winter features a poll that gets us ready for the spring.
Baseball and softball take control of center stage in South Mississippi as the action on the diamonds continue to heat up.
This is not a scientific poll, and you can vote as many times as you’d like until voting ends at noon on Monday, March 20, at www.sunherald.com.
