Vote: Who is the Florida Panhandle Softball Player of the Week (3/12/2024)?

The Florida High School Softball season is in full swing and we continue with our Player of the Week polls for areas all around the state.

This week we have 10 athletes nominated this week for the SBLive’s Florida Panhandle High School Softball Player of the Week award from March 4-9, and we ask you, the fans, to help decide who should indeed be the top athlete selected. Voting will conclude on Sunday, March 17th at 11:59 p.m. The winner will be announced in next week's poll.

Congratulations to last week's winner: Carlie Hopps of Baker.

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. This poll is specifically for fans to vote on the players that have been nominated and in no way discredits any other player that may not be mentioned in our poll.

Jayden Heavener, Pace: The senior went 4-6 with three RBIs and one home run as Pace continues their dominance in the panhandle. She also pitched five innings combined in both games and had 16 strikeouts.
