The Homer-Center School District was eliminated from the T-Mobile Friday Night 5G Lights contest.
T-Mobile announced today that in the East division, Homer-Center took fourth place, with 68,083 votes in the regional finals. The winner in the division was Buffalo Gap High School in Swoope, Virginia, who had 195,656 votes cast.
Superintendent Ralph Cecere said in an interview last week after the school board meeting that not only did the T-Mobile contest help the district’s athletic facilities, but it also brought the community together.
Over the last three days, Homer-Center averaged 5,600 votes a day, and the district did receive 10,000 bonus votes for completing video projects. The district will receive $25,000 to help with athletic programs for their participation in the contest.
