The spring season is ‘Marching’ along and the student-athletes in Pueblo are starting to hit their strides in their respective sports.
This week’s Players of the Week includes performances from the baseball field, tennis court, volleyball court, and track.
Each week, the Chieftain recognizes the top student-athletes from area schools to highlight those who have performed at a high level. The Chieftain sports staff selects them. Coaches can nominate players by emailing [email protected] before Wednesday night.
Pueblo Chieftain readers can now vote for their favorite high school athletes at the newspaper's website, chieftain.com. The poll is located at the bottom of the article and closes at midnight Friday.
There are no voting restrictions, so vote now and vote often. This poll will close on Friday at midnight. Here are the Players of the Week for March 14-20.
