North Lamar High School, and athletic secretary Nicole Fitzgerald, are top 10 finalists in the Dave Campbellâs Texas Football Community Connection School of the Year Award.
Presented by Suddenlink, the winning school will receive a $2,500 donation. Voting is now live at texasfootball.com/suddenlink, and will end Jan. 22. Multiple votes by the same person are encouraged, according to the website.
During a recent Zoom presentation, Fitzgerald received the Community Connector Award and a $250 gift to the high school in her name, and North Lamar received Texas Footballâs School of the Week recognition.
âI am very, very appreciative,â Fitzgerald said in accepting the award, as she explained she is a North Lamar graduate, has two children in North Lamar ISD and her mom graduated there as well. âMy ties run very deep.â
