money Softball: Vote for the Varsity 845 player of the week
A dozen candidates are up for Varsity 845 softball player of the week honors for May 2-8.
Candidates are drawn from results reported to Varsity 845. Barring extraordinary circumstances, only one player per school is selected in a given week.
The online voting is hosted at RecordOnline.com/sports. Vote as often as you like.
Previous winners this season are not eligible (sorry, Monroe-Woodbury’s Brianna Roberts and her 19-strikeout perfect game). MW’s Kelsey O’Brien and Marlboro’s Ava DelSalto were also previous winners.
The Varsity 845 softball player of the week nominations are posted on Mondays, with online voting until early Wednesday afternoon.
