The Lights Are On: South Pittsburg High School Wins Big in T-Mobile’s Friday Night 5G Lights Contest

When stadium lights illuminated the field at South Pittsburg High School last Friday night, something magical was in the air. The band struck up the fight song, the cheerleaders rallied the crowd, and families filled every seat in the stands. Little did they know they were witnessing a $5,000 winning moment in T-Mobile’s Friday Night 5G Lights contest.

Friday nights have always been special in South Pittsburg, Tennessee, but this season they’ve taken on new meaning. Each week, T-Mobile awards $5,000 to one high school in a community of 150,000 or fewer residents, and this week, that spotlight shines directly on South Pittsburg High School.

Whether capturing the intensity of the locker room before kickoff, the precision of the marching band at halftime, or the pure joy of students in the student section, South Pittsburg High School showed the nation what real Friday night magic looks like.

This recognition comes as part of T-Mobile’s broader commitment to powering small-town America. Since 2021, the company has been expanding its America’s largest 5G network into rural communities, supporting students through educational initiatives, and investing millions in hometown development. Friday Night 5G Lights celebrates the institutions that anchor these communities – the high schools where traditions are born and memories are made.

The $5,000 prize will help South Pittsburg High School athletics, ensuring that future Friday nights will be even brighter. But perhaps more importantly, this victory demonstrates that when a school community comes together with a common purpose, remarkable things can happen.

The contest continues throughout the fall season, with 450 schools set to win $5,000 each. The secret to success? Consistent, engaging content that tells your school’s unique story.

This season, 25 schools will become finalists earning $25,000 each plus a T-Mobile-hosted home game, and one lucky school will win the life-changing $1,000,000 grand prize package. Keep building momentum by engaging with their content, sharing their Friday night stories, and proving that small towns can achieve the biggest dreams.

Download the FN5GL Playbook to see the path to victory, and keep the energy high with every #FN5GL and #Sweepstakes post. Don’t forget to tag @TMobile in every post and always refer to your school by its full name.

The question isn’t whether your town has what it takes – it’s whether you’re ready to show the world what you’ve got.
