It’s time to vote for the Mississippi Coast Athlete of the Week for Jan. 29
District tournaments are on the horizon across the Mississippi Coast, which means the previous week saw plenty of heated action as teams battled for position.
As usual, athletes rose to the occasion across the Coast, and several earned their way into this week’s poll.
Nominees this week are from Christian Collegiate, Harrison Central, Biloxi, Ocean Springs, St. Patrick, Moss Point and Pascagoula.
This is not a scientific poll, and you can vote as many times as you’d like until voting ends at noon on Feb. 5, at sunherald.com.
