Basketball stars are back for another round of our girl’s athlete of the week poll.
Through at least the end of the calendar year, the Sun Herald will be running a separate Athlete of the Week poll to highlight the many girls dominating their sport around the region.
This is not a scientific poll, and you can vote as many times as you’d like until voting ends at noon Monday, Dec. 4, at sunherald.com.
If you would like to nominate a candidate for next week’s poll, send in game or match stats to swatkins@sunherald.com. Stats must be from an event that occurs this week.
