We’ve selected 10 candidates to choose from this past week’s games

High School On SI

Florida high school softball is back and so begins our Player of the Week polls for areas all around the state. Teams showcased what they’ve got during this past week of the regular season.

As such, we have 10 athletes nominated this week for the SBLive’s North Suncoast Softball Player of the Week award from April 14-19, and we ask you, the fans, to help decide who should indeed be the top athlete selected.

Editor’s note: Our corresponding poll is intended to be fun, and we do not set limits on how many times a fan can vote during the competition. This poll is specifically for fans to vote on the players that have been nominated and in no way discredits any other player that may not be mentioned in our poll.

Voting closes at 11:59 p.m. Sunday, April 27. The winner will be announced in the following week's poll. Here are this week's nominees:
