It’s time to vote for the Sun Herald’s MS Coast Athlete of the Week for April 22
The playoffs have officially arrived on the diamond for classes 1A-4A. The bigger schools will follow suit soon, meaning the competition is as important as ever.
This week a record-breaking track and field performance and clutch outings from the mound, circle and plate fill the Athlete of the Week poll.
This is not a scientific poll, and you can vote as many times as you’d like until voting ends at noon on April 29, at sunherald.com.
