It's time to cast your vote for the Gadsden Times Boys Athlete of the Week, honoring the standout performances from May 2-8. This week, we're celebrating the grit, skill, and determination that define young athletes in our community.

After last week's win by Westbrook Christian's Brodie Johnson—who captured 56% of the vote—the competition heats up again. The nominees span a range of AHSAA sports, from baseball to soccer to golf, showcasing the diverse talent in the Gadsden area.

Here are the top performers vying for your vote:

• Jessai Lopez (Gadsden City) – Delivered a stellar defensive performance with 14 saves across two games, proving why he's a key player for his team.
• Braulio Lopez (Susan Moore) – Lit up the soccer field with 6 goals and 3 assists in his final three games, a remarkable display of offensive firepower.
• Brodie Johnson (Westbrook Christian) – Dominated on the mound with 13 strikeouts over 8 innings, continuing his impressive season after last week's fan favorite win.
• Jackson Robbins (Westbrook Christian) – Showcased precision on the golf course, shooting a 7-over-par 79 at sectionals, a strong performance under pressure.

Voting is now open and will run until noon Thursday. Coaches and stat keepers can submit nominations for future weeks by sharing top stats from the previous week. Every vote counts in recognizing the hard work these athletes put in—so make your voice heard and support your favorite standout!
