Each week, the sports crew at King FM and KSTC shuffles through the stack of stats we get form all our area schools high schools and NJC sports programs and find the best performances of the week. Then, you get to vote for the performance you think should be dubbed “King of the Week” presented by Ertle Brothers Discount Auto. Then, each Saturday morning we announce the player you voted as simply the best!

Here’s the 411 on the rules…

1. A player can be nominated as many times during a sports season as he/she can. Once players have been nominated for the “King of the Week” honor, your votes and your votes alone in the poll on the right-hand sidebar will choose which one was the best. In the event of a tie, the sports crew reserves the right to break the tie as they see fit.
2. Please limit yourself to one vote per week. The sports crew should not need to consume their time in eliminating votes due to abuse. If the player you have the intense desire to vote for over and over truly had the best performance of the week, others will vote for that performance. (Note: Nowhere in the rules does it state you cannot encourage others to vote for a given performance). Please have respect for those who follow the rules and those who put on this process. Please do not require drastic changes to be made to this process.
3. Once a player has been named “King of the Week” they do not become eligible to be nominated for “King of the Week” again until the postseason of their current sports season or the next sports season (whichever occurs first).
4. And finally, I didn't think I needed to put this out there but apparently I do. King of the Week voting is for entertainment purposes only! This is not a prize-winning contest with trophies, plaques, scholarships, or anything else. This is merely internet public opinion of which performance was better. It bears no weight in any other venue.

Get it? Good. Now take a look at this week’s crop of nominees and vote in the poll on the sidebar for the one you would like chosen as “King of the Week” presented by Ertle Brothers Discount Auto:

Alex Beardsley (Sterling) - The Sterling Tiger senior showed his experience in the rain at Scottsbluff last Friday.  With many of the events hampered by significantly bad weather, Alex still recorded a 39'11.5" distance in the triple jump to take first, the team's lone first in the rain-soaked day.

Cade Reink (Wray) - The Eagle freshman played like a senior in a doubleheader sweep of Sedgwick County last weekend.  Cade was a perfect 8-for-8 with 9 RBIs and 7 steals in the doubleheader.  But the cherry on the sundae was a 6-for-6, 7 RBI performance in the second game.

Casey Henry (Fleming) - The Wildcats continue to be top dogs in the 1A Northern Conference and it was thanks to Casey's performance against Briggsdale they absolutely dominated the Falcons.  He went a collective 9-for-10 with 11 RBIs as the Wildcats scored 20-plus run victories in both games.

Garret Pape (Fort Morgan) - While Pape belted his 7th home run of the season in Berthoud, his team's win ended a 5-game slide and kept their playoff hopes a real possibility.  He finished with 3 RBIs in the 18-3 5-inning win over the Spartans.

Seth Jones (Wiggins) - Taking control of the 2A side of the Lower Platte League was helped by a doubleheader sweep of Akron.  Seth was instrumental going 3-for-7 over the doubleheader with 4 RBIs.

Now it's your turn.  Pick the performance you think was best and vote for it in the poll on the sidebar.  Then tune in on Saturday as we will annouce who your votes named King of the Week!
