We\u2019re excited to bring this unforgettable game night experience to life with 5G technology, knowing it will inspire and unite the people of Inola like never before.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><b>Crowning the Champion<\/b><\/p>\n<p>\nInola, Oklahoma \u2014 known as the &#8220;Hay Capital of the World&#8221; \u2014 has a population of 1,897 and 423 students at Inola High School, but the small town went extra big in going for Friday Night 5G Lights victory. Along with driving more than 100 miles to Oklahoma City to pass out flyers campaigning for their school, Inola students personally called every school district in the state \u2014 over 1,700 schools \u2014 and emailed all 1,850+ principals and 540+ superintendents across all 77 counties in Oklahoma. Talk about dedication!<\/p>\n<p>\nAs the Home of the Longhorns, Inola High School has long aimed to rejuvenate its football program, which Inola High School College and Career Coordinator Deleea Meeker says needs a lot of work, with torn-up turf, a broken sound system, an outdated scoreboard and a multi-use weight room with equipment from the 1980s.<\/p>\n<p>\nWith this win, the school can now kickstart these much-needed upgrades. And it\u2019s not just the football team\u2019s hometown heroes, cheerleaders, band members and fans who will enjoy these upgraded facilities. All of Inola High School\u2019s students will benefit from the new equipment, from other sports teams getting access to the new weight equipment to gym classes getting more out of their workouts.<\/p>\n<p>\n\u201cWinning the Friday Night 5G Lights competition is a dream come true for our students, our team and our entire community,\u201d said Meeker. \u201cWe can\u2019t thank T-Mobile enough for believing in the power of small-town spirit and for bringing these transformative upgrades to our school.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\nFour-time Super Bowl Champion Rob \u201cGronk\u201d Gronkowski, Friday Night 5G Lights ambassador, expressed his excitement for the school.<\/p>\n<p>\n\u201cIt\u2019s amazing to see the excitement radiating from Inola and the incredible impact this will have on their community,\u201d said Gronkowski. \u201cNow, they\u2019ll have facilities that truly reflect their passion, pride and determination. The energy from all the schools in this competition has been off the charts, and I can\u2019t wait to see how these upgrades elevate school spirit and create new opportunities for the students at Inola High School.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><b>The Start of Something Bigger<\/b><\/p>\n<p>\nInola High School\u2019s victory is just the beginning.
