This season we made some changes to the Player of the Week voting. Previously the fan poll was used as a tiebreaker if necessary. This year the top vote getter each week earned a spot in our final poll of the season – The Community Choice Player of the Year.
With all 11 Player of the Week polls finalized and in the books it’s time for the community to cast a vote for one final winner. The winner of this Community Choice poll will be invited to the Lootpress Sports Banquet on Saturday, Dec. 10 at the Beckley-Raleigh County Convention Center where they will be honored and receive a $500 scholarship.
The poll will conclude the evening of Nov. 22.
