Muskegon-area fan poll shines spotlight on top basketball performances Dec. 9-14 - MLive.com

MUSKEGON, MI – Last week, the MLive Muskegon Chronicle high school basketball player of the week fan poll was up for grabs among 10 girls players.

This week, boys players enter the mix.

Five girls and five boys are in contention for the player of the week fan poll, which focuses on games played Dec. 9-14.

Player of the Week fan polls are supposed to be fun and they’re designed to recognize some of the better performances of the week, but they do not impact postseason honors.

This week’s poll will remain open until 8 a.m. Friday.

Here are the five girls players and five boys players in this week’s fan poll, listed alphabetically in each category. The poll is at the bottom.
