It’s time to vote for Sun Herald’s MS Coast Athlete of the Week for May 8

The finish line is drawing nearer for South Mississippi teams still alive on the diamond.

Teams like George County softball, Picayune baseball and several others all have South State in their sights. This week’s top performers all led their respective teams to playoff series wins last week.

This is not a scientific poll, and you can vote as many times as you’d like until voting ends at noon on Monday, May 15, at www.sunherald.com.
