Who gets your vote for Flint-area Athlete of the Week for April 21-27?
@Source: mlive.com
FLINT - Throughout the high school spring season, MLive’s Flint-area Spring Athlete of the Week poll recognizes the extraordinary efforts of prep athletes in various spring sports.
We like to give our local athletes a shoutout for a job well done and our readers an opportunity to vote on who they’d like to support.
You can vote as often as you like until the poll closes at 9 a.m. Friday, May 2.
Voting will have no impact on postseason awards and no prize will be awarded to the winner (aside from the feeling of support from your voters).
Votes MUST be made on the poll below. Any votes made via X or email will not be counted.
Coaches and athletic directors are encouraged to nominate players by emailing jszczepaniak@mlive.com. Please provide the player’s stats for the week if you choose to nominate someone.
Coaches and athletic directors are also encouraged to email stats and scores from each game as well.
Here are your nominees for the week of April 21-27.

After a slow start to the season, Holly’s star outfielder has been red-hot at the plate, going 12-for-22 and tallying 11 stolen bases last week.
Charboneau collected a home run, two doubles, a triple, 10 RBIs, and nine runs scored, boosting her season average to .463 at the plate.
Her best game came against Swartz Creek on April 24 where she went 5-for-5 with a triple, two RBIs, five runs scored, and three stolen bases.

Clio’s ace in its rotation, Taylor was dominant again in the circle this week.
In four games, she pitched 22.2 innings with 34 strikeouts and zero earned runs (four unearned).

Now Linden’s all-time RBI leader, Piotrovsky went 8-for-15 with three doubles and six RBIs in four games this week.

Whether it was hitting or pitching, Golen made sure she did whatever it took to help Fenton win.

She also collected 15 hits at the plate with a pair of home runs at the Anchor Bay Tournament over the weekend, leading the Tigers to a championship.

Schultz could find herself on this list every week with how dominant she’s been in the circle.
