Vote: Who should be High School on SI’s New York Football Playoff Player of the Week? (11/13/2024)
New York high school football is back and so begins our Player of the Week polls for the state. Teams showcased more of what they’ve got heading into Week 10 of the regular season.
As such, we have eight athletes nominated this week for the SBLive’s New York Football Player of the Week award from Nov. 7-9, and we ask you, the fans, to help decide who should indeed be the top athlete selected.
Parks rushed for 164 yards and scored two touchdowns in a 43-0 win over Greece Athena.
SBLive voting polls are intended to be a fun way to create fan engagement and express support for your favorite high school athletes and teams. Unless expressly noted, there are no awards for winning the voting. Our primary focus is to highlight the abilities and accomplishments of all the athletes and teams included in our poll. You can vote as often as you wish and are encouraged to share our polls with others. The use of voting bots and other forms of automated voting are not allowed. Individuals will be removed from the poll if any form of automated voting can be verified. – SBLive Sports
