For the second time in three weeks, an image captured by freelance photographer Michael Cignoli has been voted the Ozarks Sports Zone Photo of the Week.

The picture, featuring a Warsaw football player celebrating his touchdown during an October 23 game at Buffalo, was voted the top photo for the period ending October 24, 2020. The announcement was made live during the live O-Zone Show on Friday night.

Cignoli’s photo was chosen out of more than 1,900 images that photographers captured for Ozarks Sports Zone at 27 local high school athletic events during the week. He previously took first place with a photo from a Springfield Catholic volleyball game on October 6.

Each week, O-Zone staffers analyze the hundreds of photos captured by their network of photographers and select five finalists for Photo of the Week. The nominees are posted in a poll at OzarksSportsZone.com and website visitors vote to decide the winner.

The contest returned to the O-Zone in September after a more-than-three-year absence, and Cignoli has had nine images chosen as a Photo of the Week finalist in the past seven weeks.
