Who was the best girls athlete on the MS Coast for the week of December 18? Vote now
The girls poll is back with athletes who continued to show out as district games begin to line the schedule.
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 sports around the region.
Athletes this week are from D’Iberville, Biloxi, Harrison Central, George County and Gautier.
This is not a scientific poll, and you can vote as many times as you’d like until voting ends at 5 p.m. Christmas Day, 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.
Get to know the nominees here:
- Saniyah Murray, Harrison Central basketball: Murray scored 23 points in a 62-47 win over St. Martin.
- Amiyah Simpkins, D’Iberville basketball: Simpkins scored 20 points, grabbed 12 boards and had four steals in a win over Ocean Springs.
