Each week, The News-Press staff selects one finalist in each high school sport based on scores and stats emailed by Lee County’s coaches. Readers can then vote online to determine the Athlete of the Week, with voting ending at 10 a.m. Thursday. Last week, Riverdale baseball player Hayden Prescott won with 51% of the vote, and the winner will be announced on the @newspresssports Instagram page and Twitter at @nphssports. The winning athlete will receive a shirt courtesy of BSN Sports. This week's nominees include Michael McDonald, Mackenzie De Lisle, Janiel Peguerro-Rodriguez, and Zoe Yzaguirre.
