Please read this thoroughly before jumping into the voting because everything has changed.

A few important notes...

*The way the system is setup, we can't have more than twenty (20) nominees in each poll, so instead of limiting anyone who is nominated, we're going to an EMAIL ME YOUR PICKS or copy and paste them in this thread.

BUT---again, please read carefully because until you get used to it, you can make a mistake.

Also, this might, I said might and I hope prevent the "popularity contest" trend we've had the last 2-3 years. It shouldn't be your favorite player or team, but the player who had the best game that week, so...here's what we'll do.

***Below you will find the list of every nomination I've received from the coaches and members who responded and our own due diligence of going through box scores and summaries. Please understand, if there is a player not listed, we didn't receive the information or we didn't find it ourselves. NO WRITE-IN VOTES once I post the nominations. There will be some, very fewI spend, on-average, about 6-8 hours every weekend gathering this information. #NotKidding

***Each section (Offense, Defense, Special Teams) will have a BOLD NUMBER next to it. That's the number of players you can pick out of the mass group. Example, if it says TEN (10) next to offense, you can take the offensive nominations and copy and paste up to TEN names, SIX (6) on defense, THREE (3) on special teams, and then place them in this thread OR EMAIL ME ([email protected]). We will count the votes as they come through (that's why I have interns) and announce the winners every Thursday afternoon...and start back up the next week.

If you notice a major mistake in someone stats, or their school or even simple spelling of their name, EMAIL that to me and I'll change it up when I can the chance.

***Also, VERY IMPORTANT, don't include anything in your post on this thread or the email other than the players you're voting for this specific week.

Anytime there's something new or changes, it will take time to get used to them. And, maybe I'm overlooking something obvious---it wouldn't be the first time.

VOTING DEADLINE IS THURSDAY, 12:00PM. Anything received after that time will not count.

So, here's the list of nominations for East Texas:
