This week’s poll will go live at 1 p.m. Monday and will close Thursday at 1 p.m.

Kyah Cheatham, South Fork
On Mar. 7, Cheatham scored seven goals including the game-winner in overtime to help the Bulldogs earn a 12-11 win over county rival Jensen Beach and on the season, South Fork is off to a 7-1 start.

On Mar. 10, Norris had a monster game for the Pirates scoring four goals and picked up four assists to help the Pirates knock off No. 1-ranked and defending 1A state champion Saint Andrews 12-10.
Victoria Wehrberger, Sebastian River
Wehrberger has been crucial to the Sharks’ 10-0 start to the season in the circle with her arm and in the batter’s box swinging the bat. In four games for the two-week stretch, Wehrberger batted .538 (7-for-13) and pitched 25 innings, striking out 28 and allowed just one earned run. For the season, Wehrberger is batting .448 (14-for-29) and in the circle is 8-0 with a 1.56 ERA with 60 strikeouts against eight walks.
Alice Dewaters, South Fork
At the Orange Bowl Florida Fastpitch Invitational in Palmetto Bay on Mar. 17-18, Dewaters had a great four-game stretch for the Bulldogs, batting 9-for-13 (.692) and scored four runs to help South Fork go 2-1-1 for the week. On the season, Dewaters is batting .484 (15-for-31).
Logan Zavala, Treasure Coast
Zavala had two excellent outings on the mound for the two-week stretch, first pitching five innings, allowing two unearned runs in a 4-2 win over Martin County on Mar. 9 and threw a two-hit shutout, striking out six in a 4-0 win over Hagerty on Mar. 15. Zavala is also currently batting .387 (12-for-31) with 12 RBI at the plate on the season.
Chase Wilson, Vero Beach
Wilson is on a tear at the plate for Vero Beach, currently sporting an 8-0 record, as the junior in four games for the two-week stretch batted .500 (7-for-14) with two doubles and nine RBI. Wilson is currently batting .435 (10-for-23) with 14 RBI on the season at the plate.
Natalie Belisle, Martin County
Belisle has been a big reason why the Tigers are off to a 4-0 start this season as she had nine flag pulls to lead the team in a 14-13 overtime win over Fort Pierce Central on Mar. 7 and again led the team in flag pulls and added a touchdown in a 19-0 win over Fort Pierce Westwood on Mar. 9.
