The SEMO MVP voting starts in two weeks — who makes the cut?

The list of 10 nominees for the SEMO MVP Award for local high school football is coming together slowly but surely, but we're still looking to fill the final five spots on the ballot before the poll goes onto the site for voting in two weeks.

Our fourth annual survey goes live on the site Oct. 19, and fans can cast a vote for their MVP pick until every local teams finishes its playoff season. The poll will close immediately after that final game.

So far, five names have emerged from a very talented list among our region's 33 teams. The five who appear to be locks on the list of 10 are:

1. Cameron Carey, a Thayer running back who leads the region in rushing yards this season.
2. Vohland Fonda, a running back who has become Caruthersville's No. 1 weapon on offense.
3. Zach Hibbits, a quarterback who has led his Farmington team to a 6-0 start.
4. Trey Lewis, a quarterback whose speed makes him equally tough on the run for Sikeston.
5. G'Darius Stevenson, a quarterback who has excelled during NMCC's rough season.

Unless something dramatic changes, those five will be on the list. But that means we have five spots left open.

We have a discussion going on The Board to see who should fill the last spots, so click the link, add your opinion and see who else is being mentioned.

Be sure to check back starting Oct. 19 to cast your vote.
