    BLAKE GROVE IS A CHEATER. Yea he's pretty fast. But how come no ones ever tested him for doping. #drugsaren'tcoolBlake

  • Bill - 6 years ago

    Hi,

    My name is Bill Grove and I am Blake's dad. First, I would like to congratulate all the nominees for their outstanding performances that led to them being nominated. The amount of time that student-athletes put towards their accomplishments should not be overlooked. Well done !!!

    On behalf of Blake and his mom, I would like to thank John Glenn High School for putting their support behind Blake. As luck would have it, it is Homecoming/Spirit Week at John Glenn this week. With little time to prepare, Blake's nomination for this award was incorporated into all the student activities and themes associated with homecoming. The administrators and student body put their full support behind him. Additionally, the central office administration was also gracious enough to make sure the entire school district was aware of his inclusion in this contest. Several other groups had a large hand in helping Blake these past 4 days: Wayne-Westland Arsenal Soccer (where he plays club), Detroit Soccer Central, Michigan Bucks, and the John Glenn soccer parents. His family and friends also played a large role in organizing voting blocks to make sure that someone was voting for him at all times of the day. All of you have our love and respect for helping a great kid out.

    Lastly, I was trying to figure out a way to respond to some of the accusations and thinly veiled shots at my son. I have decided to take the high road and offer our sincere hope that all of you have a healthy, great finish to your respective seasons. Good luck to all of you !!!

    Bill

    Just voted for Blake, good luck! All you people saying it is rigged don't understand the power of soccer fans! I went on and voted because a soccer group I follow (that has ton of followers) asked us soccer fans to rally around a fellow soccer player! That's it, not a huge conspiracy, just the sheer power of soccer fans! GO BLAKE!

    Dear Q Lucky,

    Blake will not send you a pizza, but I will.

    Regards,

    Blake’s Hair

  • Q Lucky in Kentucky - 6 years ago

    I was on vacation but just arrived home to pick up my mail from the last few days. I have a direct mail postcard that offered a coupon code for a free pizza if I was to vote for this Blake kid at a school in Michigan . I voted but seems I missed the deadline. Will I still get the free pizza?

  • Concerned Parent - 6 years ago

    Congratulations Blake on your win, my only question is who did you pay? The Russians or the Chinese...either way, we’ll done my friend. Extremely impressive that a soccer captain has ONLY 15,000 votes with the help of the Russians!

  • Interwebs Warrior - 6 years ago

    Blake Grove is an innocent victim. It is his hair that is the problem. It is sentient and has rigged the voting system. Blake doesn’t even want to play soccer but his hair makes him. Climate Change? Yup, it’s the hair. Hurricane Florence? All Blake’s hair. Blake’s hair will take your Mom out for a nice chicken dinner and then never call her again. It really must be stopped.

  • BE THE VOICE - 6 years ago

    I for one can't sit here and not stick up for these kids. This is a voting poll to choose a star athlete, not a board to tear down, talk down, or to speak ill of any player that has been nominated. All of these kids are here for a reason because they are the best. To sit behind a keyboard and speak so hurtful about someone is beyond ridiculous. Blake is an amazing kid, he is smart, kind, and above all an amazing person. Anyone who knows him loves him and I can not sit here and not be the voice for him. These are kids you are bashing let's not forget that. Cyber bullying and trolling is wrong and how dare anyone joking or not to say such horrible things about him.

  • Concerned - 6 years ago

    All of you parents have me concerned by the way your acting and traeting a kid.yhis poll is for kids not immature adults you need to get over yourself and stop being the biully on the playground.if this is they way you are gonna act maybe they shouldnt have something that is supposed to be a fun.no wonder there is so much bullying in school with the way parents act.

  • Zackson Jackson Blackson (ZJB for short) - 6 years ago

    I AM 100% CERTAIN THAT THIS VOTING SYSTEM IS RIGGED. I attend the same school as Blake and I know for a fact that this kid has no friends. He sits by himself at lunch, walks by himself in the hallways, and people don’t like to be around him because he smells like wet dog. So if he doesn’t get his votes from friends, does he get them them from family members? I swear if I see this Blake kid in school tomorrow I’LL CUT OFF HIS HAIR. Shoutout to my uncle Concerned Web Browser

  • Mrs. Concerned Web Browser - 6 years ago

    I agree with my husband. This vote is totally rigged and the mastermind is Blake. It makes total sense, never trust a kid who has hair like his. I go to the same school as Blake and he takes all the computer classes, he practically lives in the cyber webs. He has the resources to hack this voting system and he did. Web Browser Jr. will not be raised this way. This I swear!!!

  • Concerned Web Browser - 6 years ago

    I’m not sure about this. Six years ago Blake was seen at a computer. Why was he at a computer 6 years ago? I’ve taken 6 hours to think about this repressed memory. I’m about 47.01% sure that it was Blake at that computer. Was he creating this malware worm to insure his victory in Hometownlife’s Athlete of the week back then? I can’t prove that he didn’t create a worm that would insure his victory. I will testify Thursday about this.

  • Billiam - 6 years ago

    BLAKE'S HAIR IS THE SPAWN OF SATAN!!!!!! EVERY VOTE I MAKE FOR MY LITTLE BOY GOES TO THAT HANDSOME DEVIL, AND I DONT WANT HIM TO WIN BUT JEEZES CHRIST POSIEDEN WOULD BE JELOUS OF HIS LOCKS!!!!

  • J - 6 years ago

    Posts saying to vote for Blake are spreading like wildfire around all social medias for his school! Even on the announcements! A lot of people voting, it isn’t rigged folks

  • Hilarious - 6 years ago

    These comments are HILARIOUS!!! Bots, rigged elections, all seems like fake news! Its all fun and entertaining though...

  • Mandee - 6 years ago

    I’m telling everyone the same thing happened when my daughter was nominated!! I thought the same thing!!! I have voted for someone other then Blake several times today and Blakes score did not go up!! My daughter ended up winning with close to 11000 votes!!! It holds true that after about 10-15 votes the count does not seem to go up!! The same thing happened and people were complaining that it was rigged and I myself complained because it was my daughter and another student that were very close at one point she was losing by 1000!!! She ended up winning by more then 3000 votes!!! Why would it be rigged??? What would be the point??? At this point it is a popularity contest!!!

  • Tom - 6 years ago

    Just did some additional voting. For every 1 vote for Connor - Blake would go up between 4-9 votes. Am I to believe at the exact time I vote that 4-9 family or friends are voting for Blake. Seems illogical. My daughter experienced the same issue when voting at 2am. Doesn't seem likely that many people would be voting at that time in the morning. I don't know what the issue is but it appears as if something is flawed. Does anyone know what prior weeks vote counts have been?

  • Bob - 6 years ago

    You get around 12 votes per tome you enter the poll. After that it doesn’t resgister. When you see the Your vote has Brennan couted at the top of the graph screen it won’t register anymore...it’s not rigged !! You just have to follow the system.

  • Emily - 6 years ago

    All of these kids undoubtedly deserve to win, but they should all have a fair shot at doing so, too. I don’t think anyone took a shot at an innocent kid by pointing out the flaws in the voting system. Blake may have a lot of family and friends voting, and if so that is fantastic! But between 2am-7am, I don’t think he had family and friends vote over 1,000 times for him. His vote increases with every other vote you cast. Makes no sense.

  • Denise Breasbois - 6 years ago

    Something is Wrong!!! I’m so happy for all the athletes! But fair is fair... and this voting system has a glitch! Trevor’s numbers Don’t move up!
    I have watched-voted- it doesn’t move up!????

  • Lynn - 6 years ago

    I just voted for Connor, Blake and Trevor and they all went up. I don't see a problem with this at all. Blake must have a lot of friends and family voting. Please remember they are all great kids for what they do. Congratulations to all these Athletes!! Good job and keep it up!!!????

  • lori - 6 years ago

    Did you ever think someone could be voting for Blake or another athlete at the same time as you're voting. It is shameful that people can't just have fun and not take this so seriously and worse yet, take digs at an innocent kid. They all deserve to win and they did by being nominated. Don't discredit another kid because it isn't the person close to your heart...that's just wrong!

  • Renee - 6 years ago

    Get over it! It's not rigged but any means. He must just have a lot of people voting for him.

  • Mandee - 6 years ago

    Look people keep voting it’s being counted the same thing happened to my daughter and I thought the same thing!! She ended up winning!!! All votes are being counted!!! Why would it be rigged they don’t win anything!!! There would be no point!!! Keep voting!!!! Congratulations to all the athletes for their accomplishments !!!

  • Renee Bonk - 6 years ago

    Their is simething wrong with your voting system. Everytime i voted ( hundreds) it went on Blake Groves votes. This is wrong and not fair. My family has voted hundreds of times for Trevor Shornack and it has stayed the same for hours !!!!!! THIS IS NOT FAIR !!!!!!!

  • Renee Bonk - 6 years ago

  • Shaun - 6 years ago

    It appears that an automated survey bot is being utilized to submit votes. That's very unfortunate and unfair to all the young athletes recognized in this article. What a shame! Congrats to all of those listed for your accomplishments!

  • Quinn - 6 years ago

    It’s totally rigged!! You can put a vote in and then Blake gets like 15 more votes like that’s not possible...

  • jenna - 6 years ago

    The voting appears to be rigged—every time I cast a vote for Connor Blake’s number increases, too. I could see it happening once or twice but not every single time.

  • dean - 6 years ago

    This thing is rigged. Every time you vote- Blake gets additional votes. No matter who you vote for-Congrats to Blake you win!

  • Dawn VanAcker - 6 years ago

    I am not able to go on and vote as many times as I want? After so many votes, they don’t register?

  • Jose Paredes-Figueroa - 6 years ago

    Hi

  • Edna - 6 years ago

    Each click should add as you go. Press the dot by the name and then hit "vote" it should then calculate.

  • Denise Breasbois - 6 years ago

    I have counted how many votes I have voted for Trevor.. apparently they are not being accounted for..my votes are not adding on his numbers?
