Times Herald-Record Varsity Girls Basketball Player of the Week Large School: How Voting Works & How to Win

Who organizes the large-school girls basketball weekly and what does it cover?

The Times Herald-Record organizes a weekly fan vote for varsity girls basketball players in the large-school division. The newspaper is the publisher behind the award, while the Crowdsignal (poll.fm) platform hosts the ballot where supporters make their choices. The program sits in New York, and its title names the division it covers.

The organizer and the platform have separate roles. The newspaper sets the program and its title, and the poll platform presents the list of players and receives the choices, so a supporter always votes on the platform page rather than on a newspaper webpage.

Quick facts for the weekly ballot

The large-school label is part of the official title, so readers looking for a smaller-school girls basketball award will need a different ballot from the sibling list. Each week's result is the player the poll selects from that week's list on the poll.

What dates does the weekly girls basketball ballot show?

Editions in 2023 and 2025 both appear for this program. The 2023 edition is confirmed as a weekly series, and the 2025 season ran with several ballots in the same series, so the program follows a yearly rhythm inside each season.

The dated window in the material used here is February 2 to 8. That single week is the only exact window listed, and the table keeps it separate from the editions that are confirmed without a date.

Weeks the material leaves open

The first and last ballots of each season are not listed beyond the February window, so a reader cannot count the weeks from what is written here. The timing of the next season is not fixed either, and the poll's own listing should be checked before planning around it; confirm on the live ballot each cycle.

How does a supporter vote in the weekly large-school poll?

Each week the steps begin on the Crowdsignal ballot, where a supporter reads the instructions shown on the page, selects a player from that week's list and submits the choice with the poll's own control. The vote is cast on the platform, and the newspaper's site only points readers toward the poll.

No vote limit is listed for the weekly ballot, so the page gives no figure for how often a supporter may return. Readers who want the broader legal picture can consult the legality guide on buying votes before taking any step, since the rules of a particular poll can differ from general rules.

Because the players change from week to week, a supporter should look at the current list before each choice. A name that appeared on an earlier weekly ballot is not automatically on the next one.

The sequence is short. Open the poll, read the instructions, select a player and submit. Everything that counts happens on the platform page for that week.

How does this weekly ballot sit beside other New York polls?

The New York sibling group lists six programs, all filed under the same state. The table places them beside the girls basketball weekly so readers can see which sport, division and cadence each one uses.

The Lohud girls basketball weekly covers the same sport in the same state, but it is run by a different organizer, so the two ballots should not be read as one program.

The Buffalo News girls athlete weekly is the only sibling that covers girls athletes across sports, while the New York Section 1 football weekly shows how a single sport is split by section.

Anyone comparing paid support across these polls can read the guide to buying award votes, which explains the general terms for awards of this kind before any decision is made.

How can supporters bring attention to the weekly large-school ballot?

Weekly polls gain attention when people who follow the team share the live link with teammates, coaches and families who are willing to vote. For a Times Herald-Record ballot that means passing along the Crowdsignal link each week, since the choices can only be cast on that platform page.

Outreach works best when it is clear and honest. Ask people to read the instructions, choose the player they know and vote from a device they control. A message that explains the weekly ballot is more useful than one that pushes for a particular outcome.

The guide to getting more votes online covers the general method for bringing voters to a public poll. Outcomes in a weekly fan vote are not something any organizer, service or community can secure, so measure each week's plan by reach.
