Our friends at City High would like to encourage Lucas families to help support an online contest sponsored by State Farm. The school stands to win $17,500, money that it would love to use toward ongoing improvements at Bates Field as part of its "Stand Up for City High" campaign.

Once you are registered, you can vote daily until Nov. 24. (PS: More info about the Bates Field fundraiser itself is available here.)

Here are the details:

City High is in the top running to receive $17,500 from “Friday Night Feats,” a national online contest sponsored by State Farm Insurance that highlights key moments in high school football. The contest asks users to vote for the top video at http://fridaynightfeats.com/fnf/. Voting continues until Nov. 24. Users must register and confirm registration via email, then log into the site and choose “heartland” from among the zones that are available on the web page. The video is titled “Last Chance Field Goal" and you can access it directly by clicking here.

The school made it to the contest’s second round and is consistently a top vote-getter, based on a video clip from the City-Xavier game on Sept. 17. City won the matchup 26-24, thanks to a 27-yard field goal by Drew Cornwell with several seconds remaining in the game.

School supporters are currently raising funds for improvements to Bates Field facilities. Proceeds from the contest can be used for any purpose, according to State Farm.
