[ASFN Admin]

An exciting season of winter sports concluded over the weekend in South Dakota.

And yes, the spring season will officially kick off this week with a handful of indoor track and field meets scheduled.

Before we look ahead, we're going to take time this wekend to hold the Public Opinion Girls Baskeball Player of the Year poll.

Seventeen Watertown and Aberdeen area girls, from all three classes, are candidates for the honor.

Now it's your turn to decide. Voting continues through midnight on Sunday.

Last week's poll question asked our readers to decide which area boys basketball team had the best chance to win a state championship. Class A Hamlin led the poll, but it was Class B Castlewood (the runner-up in the voting) that actually accomplished the task. The Chargers made a run before taking second in Class A.
