Who had
Ohio's best individual performances?
You vote, you
decide...
MaxPreps is proud to
again sponsor the Ohio Athlete of the Week awards during the 2018-19
school year.
Each week during the
season (regular and post), there will be a fan-generated
contest to tab weekly winners. Each winner
receives an award patch for their varsity jacket and a digital
badge (below) on their MaxPreps player page.
How does it work? Nominees
are selected from statistics submitted on MaxPreps. Coaches who do not have
current access may request their free account
here. Weekly finalists are released on
MaxPreps every Tuesday and voting is conducted in a special
poll. Voting ceases at noon on Mondays. The winners (2 per
week) are announced the next day along with the next week's nominees.
Participants may vote as many times as they
want. It's a competition.
The last three weeks over 475,000 votes have been
cast! Last week alone, 100,000 votes were cast for one of the winners (congrats Kenston community). Here are the latest winners and the next round of
nominees...
