The Moore Mechanical Athlete of the Week for the Petoskey-area is back for the spring sports season!
All results for this week’s poll come from Monday, April 6 through Saturday, April 11 from Emmet and Charlevoix Counties.
We’re still early in the spring season, so not all schools and teams have had a chance to get going just yet, but there were enough standouts to highlight.
Vote for these athletes from Monday, April 13 to 4 p.m., Thursday, April 16. Look for another Moore Mechanical Athlete of the Week from the Petoskey-area next week.
