It’s time to vote for the Sun Herald’s MS Coast Athlete of the Week for April 1

Students may be out for spring break, but the action on the diamond and on the track has continued.

Top athletes from around the Coast are once again spotlighted for their performances over the last week and it’s up to you to choose a winner.

This is not a scientific poll, and you can vote as many times as you’d like until voting ends at noon on April 8, at sunherald.com.

To submit a nominee for next week’s poll, please send game stats from an event that occurred this week to swatkins@sunherald.com.
