High School on SI Pennsylvania Boys Athlete of the Week: How Voting Works & How to Win

What the Pennsylvania boys athlete poll is and who runs it

This weekly listing from High School On SI Pennsylvania asks readers to name a standout. The publisher runs the ballot, and readers vote for the boys high school athlete they think stood out that week in Pennsylvania. The vote runs on Crowdsignal at poll.fm.

Because the poll is a fan vote, it belongs to the sports family of weekly ballots built on public choice. The nominee list is what fans choose from, and the vote count on each ballot is the result. The program covers boys across several sports rather than a single one, which is what separates it from the football-only listing elsewhere in the state.

Quick facts about this poll

Which ballots are dated and when the January 2026 vote ran

The dated ballot in this program is the one titled for January 6, 2026, and the poll page marks it as closed. Editions in 2025 and 2026 are on file, so the program has run across more than one season.

The January 2026 vote is the most specific window the poll gives. No later weekly date is printed, and the first and last ballots of each season are absent from the material behind this page.

What the weekly schedule leaves open

The poll does not publish a fixed day of the week for each ballot, and it gives no closing hour. Look at the live poll for the current week before you plan a vote.

How a fan votes in the weekly ballot today

Voting is a public fan poll on Crowdsignal. A fan opens the current weekly ballot, reads the nominee list for that week, chooses one athlete, and submits. The vote counts as the fan's choice on that ballot.

The steps below follow what the poll shows. They do not add a rule the poll page has not printed.

No account requirement and no per-fan cap are printed on the poll page, so check the form itself before you rely on either point.

How this Pennsylvania poll sits beside its state neighbours

The Pennsylvania boys athlete poll shares the state's sports ballots with several weekly and season listings. Its nearest neighbours are the GameTimePA girls poll and the statewide football listing, which cover a different scope or sport.

What sets this program apart is that it spans boys across several sports on one weekly ballot. The Mr. PA Football listing and the Lebanon County preseason basketball award focus on a single sport and a single region, so this is the listing to use for boys across sports.

For every listing in the state, the Pennsylvania guides collect the ballots in one place.

Can a fan help a boys athlete gain support in this poll?

A fan who wants a boys athlete to do well in the weekly vote is best placed to tell family, classmates and local followers where the ballot is and how it works. A short, respectful message about the athlete's season usually does more than any tactic.

Outside help is a different matter. No rule on it appears in the listing, so any help should be checked against the organizer's terms before it is used. Our page on getting more votes online lists approaches that fit a public tally.
