It’s time to vote for the Sun Herald’s MS Coast Athlete of the Week for March 11
The athlete of the week poll is back with top performances across the Coast highlighted.
Basketball is briefly spotlighted once again as Mississippi narrowly defeated the Alabama All Star team thanks to the heroics of a South Mississippi star.
This is not a scientific poll, and you can vote as many times as you’d like until voting ends at noon on March 18, at sunherald.com.
