LOVELAND, Colo. — Loveland High School is one of 16 finalists in the T-Mobile Friday Night 5G Lights competition.
The winner will receive a grand prize of $2 million, which for the Loveland Red Wolves would go towards building their first-ever home football stadium. This money would allow the school to transform their athletic facilities and give them the ability to host home games that will bring the entire community together.
"It would change the game," LHS Athletic Director Brandon Havard said. "We're already a storied program in the state, and now we need the facilities to match that."
More than 1,700 schools across the country entered the competition by posting an Instagram video to share why they deserve this grant.
Loveland HS is the only Colorado school left in the running and just by being a finalist, the school received a $25,000 grant.
"I cried when I heard," LHS Activities Coordinator Molly Davies said. "That $25,000 will go towards things that are necessities right now that, we haven't had the opportunity to fix."
Ironically, Loveland currently plays their "home" games at their rival high school, Thompson Valley.
"This place is super special to us but having one on campus would be even more amazing," LHS senior Ella Pettit said.
