Six MHSAA member schools that played in last weekend’s Blue Cross & Blue Shield of Mississippi Gridiron Classic state football championships will collect $1,000 prizes from the eighth annual Text to Win contest.
The week-long contest matched schools and communities against their football opponents December 6th and December 7th at M.M. Roberts Stadium on the campus of the University of Southern Mississippi in Hattiesburg. The school in each of the six games that received the most texts to a designated keyword was the winner.
Contest winning schools for 2019 are: Oak Grove (Class 6A); Picayune (Class 5A); Poplarville (Class 4A); Jefferson Davis County (Class 3A); Northside (Class 2A); and Nanih Waiya (Class 1A). Each school will receive a check for $1,000 designated for its physical education department from Blue Cross & Blue Shield of Mississippi.
“Blue Cross & Blue Shield of Mississippi is proud to partner with MHSAA to support student athletics and P.E. programs through the Gridiron Classic and the Text to Win contest,” said Courtney Grimes, Public Relations Specialist for Blue Cross & Blue Shield of Mississippi. “High school athletics give students opportunities to establish healthy habits that will last a lifetime. We look forward to a continued partnership with MHSAA to support healthy futures for our students throughout Mississippi.”
