Manchester Memorial High School Wins $5K From T-Mobile’s Friday Night 5G Lights

MANCHESTER, NH — Big news for local football fans: Manchester Memorial High School has been awarded $5,000 from T-Mobile’s Friday Night 5G Lights — a $4 million national initiative designed to uplift high school football programs in small towns and under-resourced communities across the country.

With this award, Memorial is now competing nationwide for the $1 million grand prize, which includes a football field makeover, weight room renovation by Gronk Fitness, and a trip to the SEC Championship Game — a potentially game-changing opportunity for the Crusaders.

But the heart of this program goes far beyond facilities and gear. It’s about investing in the students, coaches, and community leaders who make high school football a meaningful part of the Manchester experience. From training camp to Friday night lights, the Crusaders exemplify the grit, teamwork, and tradition that make New England football so special.
