Congratulations to Gabrielle Killets of North Bay Haven track and field for claiming last week's Florida Power & Light (FPL) Athlete of the Week title—a well-deserved honor for her standout performance.

Now, it's time to turn the spotlight on a new group of exceptional athletes from across Bay County. The News-Herald has relaunched its FPL Athlete of the Week poll, giving fans a chance to recognize the region's rising stars. This week's nominees have delivered impressive efforts in their respective sports, from spring football to playoff softball.

In spring football action, North Bay Haven is kicking off a new era under head coach Jack Glover, while the school's softball team made waves with a dominant shutout victory in the state tournament, plating five runs to secure a key win.

We encourage all readers and fans to participate in the poll and share it with friends, family, and teammates on social media. Your votes help celebrate the hard work and dedication of these young athletes. Don't miss your chance to make your voice heard—cast your vote today!
