After helping the Vicksburg Gators extend an early-season winning streak, Jaylin Jackson brought home another victory for the team in The Vicksburg Post’s Athlete of the Week contest.

Jackson, a senior guard for Vicksburg’s boys’ basketball team, received 675 of the 1,551 votes cast in an online poll of The Post’s readers to claim this week’s honor.

Warren Central basketball player Gaylon Turner, with 375 votes, edged out Vicksburg soccer player Xavier Williams (330) for second place. Warren Central soccer player Tyler Godshaw finished fourth with 193 votes.

Jackson made two 3-pointers and finished with 14 points in a 68-66 victory over Choctaw Central on Nov. 25. That win improved the Gators’ record to 6-1, and they added a seventh consecutive win on Tuesday by beating Northwest Rankin 64-54. Jackson had six points in that game.

Congratulations to Jaylin and the other nominees, and thank you to our readers for voting.

The nominees for the Athlete of the Week award are announced each Sunday, and voting is open until midnight Tuesday. Links to the poll will be posted on our Facebook, Instagram and Twitter pages, as well as vicksburgpost.com.
