The Taunton Daily Gazette Fans' Choice Girls Soccer Player of the Year: How Voting Works & How to Win

What is the Taunton girls soccer award and who runs it?

The Taunton award titled Fans' Choice Girls Soccer Player of the Year is a reader poll the newspaper publishes for girls soccer in Taunton, Massachusetts. Readers choose the player they think earned the award from a listed field, and the vote is hosted on Crowdsignal under the poll number 16383084.

The entries are high school athletes, so the description here uses only publisher, sport, gender and city, and it names nobody on the ballot. The Massachusetts directory on this site is the place to start for the wider state picture, at the Massachusetts contest hub.

Why the publisher matters

The Taunton Daily Gazette is the named organizer, so its announcements are the source a reader should treat as final for any result. A poll link alone does not show who the publisher is, so the newspaper's name on the ballot is the fact to check first.

The listing gives the publisher, the sport and the city, and those three facts are enough to tell this award apart from other sports polls on the same site. Anyone who searches for the award by name should land on the Taunton entry rather than on a general soccer page.

What dated facts does the Taunton poll show?

The only dated edition in the listing set is the 2025 ballot. Its title marks the poll as closed, and the harvested timing places the voting in December 2025. That gives readers a single season to look at, and it is the reason this page treats the award as one confirmed edition.

This is the first confirmed edition; whether it returns next year is not yet published; confirm on the live ballot each cycle.

What the listing does not print

The newspaper has not published a category roster for this award in the listing text, and it does not state a voting ceiling for each reader. Both points are missing from the 2025 page and should be checked on any future ballot.

How did a reader vote in the 2025 poll?

A reader opened the Crowdsignal poll, read the listed girls soccer players, and submitted one public vote for the player they chose. The tally then counted each vote for that listing, and the 2025 ballot ended with its title marked closed.

The steps below describe the mechanic a reader would follow on a ballot of this type. Because the 2025 poll is closed, the table is a guide to the form, not an invitation to vote on the old listing.

The tally is a plain count of public votes, and the listing does not describe any weighting. A reader who wants to understand the standings should read the closed tally as the whole result, since no later votes change it.

Platform prompts

Crowdsignal controls the form and any confirmation screen, so the exact wording a reader sees can differ from the steps above. The newspaper's rules on repeat voting are not printed in the listing text available here.

How does this award sit beside the other Massachusetts listings?

Six Massachusetts listings sit beside this one on this site. Two carry the Eagle-Tribune and Enterprise Brockton names, one is a statewide high school athlete-of-the-week ballot, and the rest are separate baseball, basketball and softball titles. Only this listing is tied to Taunton as its city in the listing set.

Readers comparing neighbours can look at the Massachusetts high school basketball player of the week ballot or the Enterprise Brockton athlete of the week listing, then return here for the Taunton girls soccer field.

How can a supporter help a girls soccer nominee in a future poll?

A supporter who wants a Taunton girls soccer nominee to do well in a later ballot should first wait for that ballot to open. The 2025 listing is closed, so no effort on it can change the result. When a new poll appears, the official Crowdsignal link is the only address that counts toward the tally.

Sharing that link with families, teammates and local fans who follow girls soccer is the most direct step. Keep every effort inside the newspaper's posted rules, since the publisher decides how votes are counted and whether any are removed. The online voting guidance page describes the approach without promising a result.

A reader can also check the newspaper's announcement after the poll closes, because that announcement is the source the publisher stands behind.

A reader comparing the titles will see that the Taunton listing is the only one whose title says Fans' Choice, which matters when a friend asks which ballot to vote in.
