Once again this season, The Daily Memphian is recognizing a high school spring athlete of the week. But we need your help.

Each Monday, we’ll post several candidates from the previous week’s games and we’re asking our readers to vote for the winner. Voting will end at 5 p.m. Thursday.

Here are the candidates for Week 6.

Gabe Boyd, CBHS baseball: Four was Boyd’s magic number against Germantown on April 22. The Mississippi State commit went 4 for 4 with four runs and four RBI while hitting two doubles and a home run to spark the Brothers to a 16-0 victory. Two days earlier, Boyd went 2 for 3 with an RBI in his team’s 8-4 win over ECS.
