The Watertown Public Opinion/Aberdeen News Athlete of the Week poll is back this week.

Last week's poll asked readers to decide our Midseason High School Football Player of the Year. That honor went to Jade Jacobs of North Central.

Ten northeastern South Dakota athletes are candidates for this week's AOTW honor.

Now it's your turn to decide. Voting will remain open until midnight on Sunday, Oct. 12 .
