With the Texas high school baseball and softball seasons kicking into gear and track and field meets starting to pick up, the Big Country’s best spring sports athletes shined across the Lone Star State last week.
Several athletes had standout performances during the last week and have been nominated for this week's Abilene Reporter-News High School athlete of the week.
The Reporter-News is taking weekly nominations and will release a list of finalists for the Athlete of the Week each Tuesday.
Please include statistics from the week's games and any pertinent information or honors.
Students in all varsity sports are eligible and can only be named Athlete of the Week one time per season, per sport, and athletes from one school cannot win more than three consecutive weeks.
The poll will close at noon Friday and the winner will be announced Friday afternoon.
Nominations are due by 5 p.m. Monday and can be submitted through email at sports@reporternews.com or Andrew.McCulloch@reporternews.com.
Take a look at this week's candidates and cast your vote.
