For the rest of the school year, Maplewood-Brentwood Patch will help you select the “Athlete of the Week."

This is how it works

This contest belong to you, the reader. You get the opportunity to both nominate and vote for your favorite athletes. Help athletes in any varsity sport to get the recognition they deserve.

Who was the hero? Who was a great leader? Who's hard work has paid off?

On Mondays (that's today!), we will call for nominees. Any athlete, male or female, from any Maplewood Richmond Heights or Brentwood team can be nominated.

Make your nominations in the comments of this article.

Names that get nominated the on Monday and Tuesday will comprise the Wednesday morning ballot. Voting begins Wednesday morning and concludes promptly at 5 p.m. on Thursday. Then the winner will be recognized over the weekend either on Saturday or Sunday.

Congratulations to all the winners.
