Time For Fans To Send In Those Week 9 MVP Nominations

Several exciting candidates for Patch MVP this week, including Ladue QB Matthew Hooper, Villa freshmen Meagan Donovan, and St. Joe tennis stars Taylor Revling and Ellie Bisig.

It's Week 9 of the 2012 Fall Sports high school sports season, which means it's the final week of the regular season in boys soccer and the start of the state volleyball and football playoffs. Field hockey's coming up soon too.

But for our purposes it's time to nominate your favorite MVP of the Week from Ladue, St. Joe, Villa, Burroughs, or MICDS.

We'll reveal who made the ballot on Wednesday, and the voting is open until 5 p.m. Thursday.
