Spring sports are in full swing across the Lone Star State, with basketball season in the midst of district play and soccer season starting to pick up.
Standouts from both sports are among the nominees for the Happy State Bank High School Athlete of the Week for Jan. 5-11, 2026.
The Globe-News is taking weekly nominations and will release a list of finalists for the High School Athlete of the Week each Tuesday.
Nominations are due by 5 p.m. Saturday and can be submitted through email at sports@amarillo.com, by messaging the Globe-News through its Facebook page or on Twitter @amarilloglobe.
Students in all varsity sports are eligible and can only be named Athlete of the Week one time per season, per sport, and athletes from one school cannot win more than three consecutive weeks.
The poll will close Thursday and the winners will be announced Friday each week.
Take a moment to look at some of the top performances in the last week and vote on amarillo.com.
