NEW: PREP SPORTS MAILBAG
The Bay Area News Group is introducing a high school sports mailbag in May. Get your questions in as soon as possible. Our debut edition is an open forum. Got questions about spring sports playoffs, coaching changes, an early peek at football season, etc.? Send questions to highschools@bayareanewsgroup.com. Please include “mailbag” in the subject line.
California softball player Hailey King is the Bay Area News Group’s high school girls athlete of the week for May 15-20 after she received 45.06% of the vote at the 5 p.m. deadline Wednesday.
Archbishop Mitty softball player Mia Rodriguez (30.68%) placed second and St. Francis track and field athlete Sabrina Zanetto was third.
Congratulations to all the candidates for this week’s recognition.
King, a sophomore, walked California off against College Park with an inside-the-park home run in the NCS playoffs. “I could see by the trajectory that she had a shot of ending this game,” California coach Tony Bari told the Bay Area News Group afterward.
To nominate an athlete for next week’s poll, email highschools@bayareanewsgroup.com by Monday, May 29, at 11 a.m. Please include stats and team results.
We also review stats submitted to MaxPreps.com by coaches/team statisticians for consideration.
Winners are announced each Friday on the Mercury News & East Bay Times websites and, starting Sept. 30, in the print edition of the Mercury News and EB Times sports sections.
