Who had
Pennsylvania's best individual performances?
You vote, you
decide. MaxPreps is proud to sponsor the Pennsylvania Athlete
of the Week awards during the 2024-25 school year.
Each week during the season (regular and
post), there will be a fan-generated contest to
tab weekly winners. Each winner receives a
digital award patch for 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 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.
Below is
the first
round of
nominees...
