Vote for the Mississippi Coast all-sports Athlete of the Week for March 2
It’s time to vote on a new athlete of the week.
As always, you can nominate any athlete for an upcoming poll by sending their name, sport and stats from the seven days immediately preceding the day of the next poll to sports@sunherald.com.
This week our nominees feature players from Biloxi, George County, Ocean Springs, Pascagoula, Stone and St. Patrick.
This is not a scientific poll, and you can vote as many times as you’d like until voting ends at noon Monday, March 9.
Last week’s winner: Emma Claire Elmore, St. Martin
