The Patriot Ledger (Quincy) HS Football Breakout Player of the Year: How Voting Works & How to Win

What is the Quincy breakout award and who runs it?

This Quincy award is a reader poll for high school football, published by The Patriot Ledger for the Quincy area. The award asks readers to pick the breakout performer they think deserves the honor, and the vote runs on Crowdsignal under poll number 16158646.

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

Why the publisher matters

The newspaper's name is the one to match when you search, because the poll sits under its banner rather than on a general sports page. A reader who wants to confirm the award should check the newspaper's own announcements, since those carry the final word on any result.

Searches for the Quincy award often pair the sport with the city, so the publisher name and the word breakout are the two details that separate this ballot from the other Massachusetts football and athlete polls on this site.

What dated facts does the Quincy poll show?

Two editions are dated for this award, 2022 and 2025. The 2025 listing carries an October timing, and the 2022 edition is noted on the poll file. Together those two dates show the award has run in more than one year, which supports an annual reading.

The poll does not print the opening day or the closing day for the 2025 round. The month is the only timing fact on the listing, so the day-by-day schedule has to come from the live poll itself.

What the listing omits

No category roster appears on the poll text, and no vote cap is stated. Readers should treat both as unanswered until the newspaper publishes them.

How does a reader vote in the breakout poll today?

A reader opens the Crowdsignal poll, reads the field of listed football players, and submits a public vote for the one they back. The tally counts those votes, and the leading entry becomes the reader pick that The Patriot Ledger reports.

The path below is the one a reader follows on this type of ballot, and it holds whether the reader arrives from a search result or a newspaper link. Crowdsignal sets the form, so the exact prompts can change between rounds, and the steps are a guide to the flow rather than a promise of the screen.

Platform prompts

Crowdsignal controls the submission flow and any confirmation screen. The newspaper's rules on repeat voting are not printed on the poll text, so read the prompt before submitting.

How does the Quincy award sit beside the Massachusetts listings?

Six Massachusetts listings sit beside this one on this site. They include an athlete-of-the-week title, a Gatorade softball player-of-the-year entry, and separate baseball and basketball player-of-the-week ballots. The Quincy football award is the only one of these tied to Quincy as its city in the listing data.

Readers comparing neighbours can look at the Massachusetts high school baseball player of the week ballot or the Enterprise Brockton athlete of the week listing, then come back to this page for the football field.

How can a supporter raise a Quincy nominee's standing?

A supporter who wants a Quincy football nominee to rise in the poll should start with the official Crowdsignal link. Passing it to families, coaches and fans who follow Quincy high school football keeps the effort tied to the newspaper's own ballot. The newspaper's posted rules decide what outside promotion is allowed, and those rules are not printed on the poll text.

Support works best when it stays inside those rules. A supporter who reads the terms before sharing avoids the risk of votes that the newspaper later removes. The online voting notes describe general approaches to public polls without promising a result.

No outreach can settle a breakout award in advance, because the leading entry depends on the full tally of reader votes.
