Mission Eagles hold lead in Football Contest

With just a few weeks remaining, the Mission Eagles hold a slim lead of just eight more entries than second place Sharyland Rattlers in the Progress Times Football Contest Grand Prize competition. Mission Veterans is in third place.

The high school with the most entries in the Football Contest over the course of the regular football season will win a $500 Grand Prize for the school’s athletic booster club.

When entering the Football Contest, be sure to check the box next to your favorite team at the top of the entry form. At the end of the regular football season, the Progress Times will tally the number of contest entries received for each of the seven local high schools. The school with the most entries wins the $500 Grand Prize.

To help your school win $500, just enter the Progress Times Football Contest each week — and encourage other fans to do the same. Every contest entry for your favorite school increases their chances of winning the $500 Grand Prize.

In addition, you could be one of our weekly winners of the $50 prize going to the person who predicts the most winning teams. Previous winners of this season’s contest are not eligible to win the $50 weekly prize in subsequent weeks, but they can still enter the contest to help increase the chances for their athletic booster club to win the grand prize.

The contest entry form and the complete rules are printed in today’s edition of the Progress Times on the Football Contest page. This can also be found online at www.progresstimes.net. Share the link with all your friends and share this on your Facebook page to get more entries for your school.
