Nahh.... I just don't like fooling with what is basically a local award. I'm not judging anyone for doing so, but let the local kids vote for their own. It's like the people who would bomb the online election polls during the primaries.
It was funny in that case, but with high school kids, let them give themselves their own awards. We will have plenty of time to vote for this kid in online polls for ESPN player of the weeks when he is wearing the orange, when it matters directly to us if he is any good.
All spamming that online poll will do is get them to throw out the results because they will notice that the votes are coming from ISP addresses out of their region, and they won't give anyone the award.
