Athlete of the Week: Milan's Maggie Smith tops in busy week
Erie Mason girls basketball player Makenna Gallaher collected 352 votes for Monroe County Region Athlete of the Week from March 25-31.
That would have been enough to win eight different times during the current school year.
But this was not a normal week.
With almost no high school sports on the schedules because of spring break, voters were asked to pick their favorite winner for the winter season.

Gallaher’s fine total was only good enough for fifth place.
Maggie Smith topped the polls with 724 votes and fellow Milan bowler Kendel Carpenter was fourth with 367.
In between were a pair of girls basketball players – Ida’s Kayla Liechty (534) and Erie Mason’s Bailey Meiring (518).
