Voting occurs each week during all high school sports seasons and recognizes athletes across all sports. Please do not email your votes; they will not count.
Also, our system considers Wi-Fi as one IP address ‒ to prevent people from clearing caches to vote without limit ‒ so if multiple people on a shared Wi-Fi are voting, they should briefly take their phones off Wi-Fi for the hourly votes to count.
For past winners: The Enquirer will no longer mail certificates to schools after getting feedback that families weren’t receiving them. Alex Harrison will make digital copies of all certificates available to families by 8 a.m. the Monday after the Friday win. Families will access the PDFs through this public Dropbox link. Once printed, families can email a photo to mlaughman@enquirer.com for our gallery.
