VOTE: Volusia-Flagler Boys Athlete of the Week for March 23-28 presented by Halifax Health

The polls are open!

It's time to vote for the Halifax Health Volusia-Flagler Boys Athlete of the Week for the week of March 23-28.

Two weeks ago, Father Lopez baseball player Ian Campanella captured the honors, claiming 63% of the votes. The senior threw a complete game in a 2-1 win over Taylor. He didn’t allow an earned run while striking out five Wildcats. Campanella also drove in a run at the plate.

Halifax Health is partnering with the Daytona Beach News-Journal to honor our Volusia-Flagler area high school athletes every week.

The Daytona Beach News-Journal gathers nominees for upcoming polls from across the area via email at cvinel@usatodayco.com. Please send a player's name, school and notable statistics for a given week. Submissions are due no later than 8 a.m. every Monday.

To round out the ballot, our staff also picks athletes from scores and stats posted online or submitted by local coaches. Athletes for all in-season sports are eligible.

Voting in the online poll below will close at 5 p.m. Sunday. Votes are restricted to once per device per hour. Emailed votes will not count.
