The Palm Beach Post and Baptist Health Orthopedic Care have opened the polls for this week’s Girls Athlete of the Week, inviting fans to select the standout performer from October 19-24. The voting window remains open until noon Friday, offering local supporters the chance to recognize the elite high school talent that defined the recent week of competition in Palm Beach County. This weekly feature highlights the most impactful performances across the region, ensuring that exceptional athletic achievements receive the community recognition they deserve.
Miranda Knoll’s dominant regional showing leads a stacked field in this week’s voting.
Leading the nomination list is King’s Academy senior Miranda Knoll, who delivered a decisive performance in volleyball. Knoll anchored the Lions’ defense and offense during a crucial regional semifinals victory over DeSoto County, recording nine kills, five aces, and four blocks. Her all-around dominance was further highlighted by 16 serve receptions, showcasing her reliability on both sides of the net. This standout game solidifies her status as a top contender for the title, reflecting the high level of play seen in the district’s postseason action.
Fans can participate in the voting process to determine the winner, with polls closing strictly at noon Friday. While the Post staff selects nominees based on statistical impact and game-changing moments, community input plays a vital role in crowning the final champion. Last week’s winner, Daniela Leite of Dr. Joaquín García, set a high bar with her district championship performance, but this week’s nominees present a compelling case for the title. Those wishing to suggest additional athletes or teams can contact deputy sports editor Eric J. Wallace or high school sports writer Alex Peterman to ensure no standout performance goes unnoticed.
