Fan of Sharese Jones made sure she wouldn't lose a Patch contest two weeks in a row.
After losing last week's Athlete of the Week contest to Lexie Moe, despite racking up 165,000 votes, Jones' supporters came out in large numbers this week. In our fan's choice for the GAC Player of the Year poll, Jones racked up 36,614 of 37,522 votes to pick up first place.
Here's how the voting broke down:

- Dana Heggemann—Warrenton: 6 (0 percent)

It's just a matter of logistics. It's hard for us to get in contact with these kids, especially those who play sports that are done playing.
Also, while the poll is available across the five St. Charles County Patch websites, we decided that the winner's story, if we had one, would go in the home Patch site. St. Peters hasn't had a winner, yet. I'll be reaching out to Sharese Jones this week to fix that.
