Once again, it’s time to celebrate the best high school athletes in the Ocala area. Athletes just wrapped up a week of rivalry games, midseason tournaments, and several competitve performances that mark a successful season.
It was a great week on the pitch for strikers ready to celebrate multiple goals and even better for a West Port goalie rising up the saves leaderboards. If you favor high scorers on the basketball court, we have a laundry list of game-changing performances for you to choose from.
You can vote for your favorite athlete once per hour. Please share the poll on social media so friends and family can get in on the action. Voting will close Thursday at 4:59 p.m.
