Strasburg claims $5,000 in T-Mobile Friday Night 5G Lights contest

Strasburg High School won a $5,000 prize from T-Mobile’s Friday Night 5g Lights contest last week leading up to their season opening win against Skyline.

The contest began in 2021 and Strasburg has won prize money two years in a row thanks to tremendous support on social media from the community and local creators like Aaron K Designs and Photography.

Last year’s win helped Strasburg fund the purchase of new stadium lights for Glenn Proctor Field.

Fans, students, and community members help their schools by tagging their school, @TMobile, and using hashtags #FN5GL and #Sweepstakes on every post.

Each post is the equivalent of one entry in the contest.

If Strasburg is chosen as a finalist, the school will receive $25,000 and a T-Mobile hosted home game.

The grand prize winning school will win $1 million towards school and stadium upgrades.

Clarke County High School also claimed their share of prize money during last year’s contest.

The application period for the first round of entries concludes September 12th.
