PETERSBURG, Va. -- After a standout basketball season at the University of Kansas, 2012 Petersburg High School graduate Frank Mason III is in the running to win the Naismith Men's College Player of the Year award.
An online fan vote will count toward five-percent of the Naismith award process.
"By voting online each day through March 31, central Virginia has the opportunity to support Frank Mason," a Petersburg Schools spokesperson said. "Every person can vote once a day. There is no fee and no registration required."
