LEVERETT’S CHAPEL, Leverett’s Chapel ISD has been selected as one of this week’s winners in T-Mobile’s Friday Night 5G Lights $5K Fridays sweepstakes. As a selected winner, the district will receive $5,000 to support the Leverett’s Chapel football program and related initiatives.
T-Mobile created the Friday Night 5G Lights program to celebrate high school football and the communities that support their schools. The program provides opportunities for schools across the country to receive funding while highlighting the role that high school football plays in bringing communities together.
“We are extremely thankful to T-Mobile and to everyone who has supported Leverett’s Chapel throughout this competition,” said LCISD Superintendent Matthew Everett. “For a small school like ours, $5,000 can make a meaningful difference for our students and our athletic program. More importantly, this recognition gives us another opportunity to showcase the tremendous pride that exists in Leverett’s Chapel. Our community continues to prove that being a small school does not mean having small dreams.” Coach Hughes shared, "Winning this $5,000 is a massive help for our football program. In football, safety and preparation are everything, but keeping up with the rising costs of quality protective gear, training equipment, and basic supplies is a constant uphill battle for our budget. This funding means we can immediately replace aging helmets, upgrade our practice pads, and provide our student-athletes with the modern resources they need to compete safely and confidently. Beyond the physical gear, this investment tells our players that their community believes in them, fueling their motivation both on the field and in the classroom."
Leverett’s Chapel ISD plans to use the award to support football equipment and student safety, improvements to the student-athlete experience, and continued development of the district’s football program and facilities.
As part of the recognition, Leverett’s Chapel ISD will also be featured as a winner on T-Mobile’s $5K Fridays sweepstakes page. A local T-Mobile representative is expected to coordinate an on-field check presentation during an upcoming Leverett’s Chapel home football game.
The district encourages students, families, alumni, and community members to continue supporting LC in the Friday Night 5G Lights competition by sharing the district’s story on social media and using #FN5GL and #Entry.
