It’s time to vote for the Mississippi Coast Athlete of the Week for January 8

District play is getting heated on the pitch and on the hardwood. We’ve documented some of the biggest individual performances from around the Coast here and it’s once again your job to choose our Athlete of the Week.

Nominees this week are from St. Martin, Biloxi, Bay High, Pascagoula, Vancleave, Hancock and Pass Christian.

This is not a scientific poll, and you can vote as many times as you’d like until voting ends at noon on Jan. 15, at sunherald.com.
