Vote: Who is the SBLive Polk County Softball Player of the Week (3/18/2024)?
The Florida High School softball season is here and we begin our Player of the Week polls for areas all around the state. Teams have started off the regular season with some great individual performances.
As such, we have eight athletes nominated this week for the SBLive’s Polk County high school softball player of the week award from March 11- 16, and we ask you, the fans, to help decide who should indeed be the top athlete selected. Voting will conclude on Sunday, March 24th at 11:59 p.m. The winner will be announced in next week's poll.
