Vote for the Mississippi Coast all-sports Athlete of the Week for March 30

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, George County, Hancock, Pass Christian, St. Martin and Resurrection.

This is not a scientific poll, and you can vote as many times as you’d like until voting ends at noon Monday, April 6.

East Central’s Abby Danis received the most votes in last week’s Athlete of the Week poll.
