Vote for Livingston Daily Athlete of the Week (Nov. 29-Dec. 4, 2021)
Girls basketball began last week, with the boys tipping off this week.
That gives us more options besides hockey for a winter Athlete of the Week poll. All signs indicate it will be another strong winter for Livingston County teams in both sports.
Voting is open until 3 p.m. Wednesday. Vote early, vote often.
Refresh your browser if the poll isn’t immediately visible.
If you can’t access any of the articles or videos referenced in this poll, it costs only $1 for six months of unlimited access to the Livingston Daily’s digital coverage. If you care about high school sports, this is a great time to get on board, as winter is the busiest of the three seasons in Livingston County.
