Vote for the Mississippi Coast all-sports Athlete of the Week for March 23
It’s time to find the Mississippi Coast’s newest 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. Do not send your vote via email as it will not be counted.
This week our nominees feature players from D’Iberville, East Central, George County, Ocean Springs, Poplarville and St. Stanislaus.
This is not a scientific poll, and you can vote as many times as you’d like until voting ends at noon Monday, March 30.
Last week’s winner: Lauren Bosarge, Resurrection
