Editor's note: There are two winners in the Northern Kentucky boys soccer ballot because the ballot was inadvertently left open past the 4 p.m. deadline. A time-stamped screenshot confirms a different winner just after 4 p.m. than the time it was actually closed, a one-vote difference. To be fair to both families, both boys will win.
