STURGIS — It’s time to cast your votes for the Footballer of the Week from the opening games of the season.
A big congratulations go out to White Pigeon’s Maddix Jancasz, he officially won the Journal’s Preseason Player of the Year last week. He garnered more than 52 percent of the total votes cast for the annual award.
The athlete of the week award is once again being presented by Glen Oaks Community College.
