It’s time to cast your vote for the Lake City Reporter Athlete of the Week for Dec. 2-7.
Each week the LCR's news staff puts together a collection of the top performers from the week for you to vote on. Nominees are derived from scores and stats uploaded to MaxPreps, sent in by coaches, and from games attended by the LCR's reporters. Readers can then vote in the online poll to determine who the Athlete of the Week will be.
Voting ends at 4 p.m. Wednesday. The winner will be announced in the Thursday edition of the LCR as well as online.
