It may be early in the 2024 season, but Central Florida high school softball players are already tearing the cover off the ball.

We looked at teams from multiple counties and nominated 24 athletes for the SBLive Central Florida Softball Player of the Week for Feb. 19-24, 2024.

We ask you, the fan, to decide who should the top player selected. Voting will conclude on Sunday, March 3, at 11:59pm and will be announced in next week’s poll.

Editor’s note: Our corresponding poll is intended to be fun, and we do not set limits on how many times a fan can vote during the competition.
