The Daily Advertiser is looking to highlight the talented prep athletes in Lafayette, Acadiana, St. Landry, St. Martin, Vermilion and Iberia parishes. To do so, we’re bringing back Athlete of the Week, which focuses on highlighting male and female varsity prep athletes who leave it all out in their respective sports.

To start are six athletes who had top performances in their respective sports from Sept. 1-7. The athlete that receives the most number of votes will be highlighted as the Daily Advertiser’s Athlete of the Week. Voting will close at 9 a.m. on Friday.

See below for details on how you can become part of this.
