Last month, the telecommunications company announced a $2 million grand prize football field technology makeover program called T-Mobile Friday Night 5G Lights.

The program gives small town high schools from across the country a chance to win a $2 million grand prize, according to a T-Mobile news release.

In addition, 16 finalists will each receive $25,000 and 300 schools will get $5,000 during the nationwide competition’s entry period to support high school football programs.

River View High School is one of 250 schools so far to be awarded $5,000 and is still in the running to win the big money.
