It's time to cast your vote for the Detroit Free Press Buffalo Wild Wings Boys Prep Athlete of the Week! This week's poll highlights three talented athletes—two from baseball and one from lacrosse—who delivered standout performances during the week of May 3-9. Whether it's a walk-off hit or a dominant pitching outing, these players have shown what it takes to compete at the highest level. Read on to learn about the nominees and make your pick!

The Nominees:

First up, we have Cox from Lamphere, who stepped up big in a 4-3 victory against Warren Cousino on Wednesday, May 6. With the game on the line, Cox delivered a walk-off hit, capping off a series where he batted .444 with two doubles and four runs scored. That's clutch performance at its finest!

Next, Giacolone of Lake Orion dominated on the lacrosse field in two games against Clarkston and Birmingham Seaholm. The senior racked up an impressive 12 goals, matched that with 12 ground balls, and added one assist. Talk about a well-rounded effort that kept the offense rolling all week long.

Finally, Wargo from Madison made his mark on the mound during a 6-1 win over Clintondale. In a three-game series, Wargo took charge with 14 strikeouts and allowed just two hits over seven innings. That's the kind of pitching that wins games and earns respect on the diamond.
