    Who were the best boys volleyball players last week?

    Here's our fifth poll of the spring season and hats off to the coaches who've made it a priority to send in game results each weeknight. So how does a player get nominated for Player of the Week? It’s simple.

    Scores and stats can either be called in at (401) 277-7340 – or emailed to PJSports@ProvidenceJournal.com by 10 p.m. on the day of the game. When compiling nominees for Player of the Week, we go over the games that were called in and pick the best of the best, then narrow that list down to five.

    Who wins is up to you.

    The award is meant to be an interactive way for the state’s volleyball community to get involved with coverage and the sport. There’s no prize for winning, other than clout. If you want to win, we encourage players, parents, coaches and schools to create social media campaigns to get friends, family, classmates and whoever else to vote, vote and vote some more.

    Voting is free and you can vote as many times as you’d like between now and Thursday night. The winner will be posted to the Providence Journal website Friday morning. Votes are only accepted through the poll at the bottom of this page. Emailed votes will not be accepted.

    So who will be this week’s Providence Journal Player of the Week? Check out our five nominees and starting voting now.
