VOTE: What is the Patriot Ledger's 2023-24 High School Team of the Year?

The 2023-24 high school sports seasons are in the books. The spring Patriot Ledger/Enterprise All-Scholastics are right around the corner.

In the interim, we're working on a project that you, the readers, can help us with.

We want to select a 2023-24 High School Team of the Year from Ledgerland. We'll also be selecting a Male High School Athlete of the Year and a Female High School Athlete of the Year. These all cover the fall, winter and spring seasons for the just-concluded school year.

For Team of the Year we've narrowed the list down to 25 choices, all of whom made it to either MIAA or NEPSAC championship games.

Now we'd like you to vote for the team you think should be crowned No. 1 on the South Shore. Your vote will be part of the formula we use to select the winner. Our staff -- Chris McDaniel, Jason Snow, Ryan Vermette and Eric McHugh -- also will weigh in and we'll wind up with an overall winner.

Voting ends on July 29.
