The Dexter Regional High School football team has won multiple state championships, but it has never had the chance to play a Friday night football game under the lights.

That could all change if enough people vote for the Tigers as they continue to compete in T-Mobile’s “Friday Night 5G Lights Sweepstakes,” a national contest that will award $1 million to the winner for field and facilities upgrades.

As of Friday, Dexter is in third place with just over 133,000 votes. Dierks High School in Arkansas is currently in the lead with over 174,000. People can vote once per day until Oct. 24.

“We’re trying to get the whole state behind us,” said Adam Gudroe, Dexter’s athletic director and assistant principal. “But the support right now has been just phenomenal.”

Dexter is one of 25 finalists
