As winter sports finished their seasons in the West Texas, Concho Valley and San Angelo areas and programs now shift their attention to spring sports, the Standard-Times will continue accepting nominations for City National Bank Athlete of the Week throughout the high school sports year.
Plenty of action and outstanding performances are left in the high school sports season. Local softball and baseball teams work through district schedules, while track and field athletes compete in the UIL championship season.
The Standard-Times will release a list of finalists for the High School Athlete of the Week each Tuesday.
