There were several standout individual performances across Southwestern Indiana this week. Who gets your vote?
Each week you can vote for the Courier & Press Athlete of the Week — football typically has a separate poll, but we’re including them here with only two area teams left. Below you will find the poll and brief info on each performance. You can vote as often as you’d like until 10 a.m. CT Friday morning.
