Ray received 193 of the 518 votes cast through 4 p.m. Wednesday in our online poll following a week where she scored two goals in a 3-3 tie with Lafayette and also netted a pair of goals in a 3-3 tie with Interlachen. She finished ahead of Columbia soccer player Mia Brasel (165), Lafayette basketball player Kylie Beach (116), Columbia basketball player Zavian Douglas (42) and Fort White basketball player Isreal Hart (2).
The next poll will be online this weekend. Nominees will be chosen from scores and stats uploaded to MaxPreps, sent in by coaches and from games attended by the LCR's reporters. Coaches can also send in nominees to jkroeger@lakecityreporter.com.
