The midway points for the Florida high school football season has come and gone, leaving us with a collection of stellar performances and noteworthy storylines from the first half.
Palm Beach County is home, as we expected, to a number of contenders with visions of postseason glory starting to take shape.
But with the playoffs still several weeks away, The Palm Beach Post is focusing on observations from the first half, which we compiled in our midseason report.
As part of that breakdown, we selected 10 players that had outstanding performances in the first half, and we would like to turn things over to you to help decide among the best of the best in our Midseason Player of the Year poll.
Have your say in who is deserving of our midseason honor. Voting will be open until Friday, Oct. 9. at noon.
