The Lootpress Player of the Week Award sponsored by Mid-State Ford, Little General, and The Law Offices of Brandon Steele, has returned for the second year.
Below are the candidates for the fourth week of the prep softball season. Voting will close Wednesday, April 17 at 11:59 P.M. The fan vote will be used in the event of a tie. VOTES ALONE DO NOT DETERMINE THE WINNER. There are also changes to the Player of the Week voting pertaining to the top overall vote getter that you can read about here.
If the top vote getter has already won a community choice poll, the next leading vote getter who has not won will be named that week’s community choice winner.
Moving forward, votes found to be obtained using an extension, bot or any other automated service will be subtracted from the final tally.
In order for a player to be eligible or nominated, the stat keeper or coach must allow us access to their GameChanger statistics and report boxes. The emails to allow are [email protected] and [email protected].
