After the submissions are in, the five Power Plays from each school with the most “likes” will be placed on The Messenger’s website at messenger.plexawp.com. Voting will then begin for the top Power to Friday Night school. Voting begins Monday, Sept. 28 at 12 p.m. and will end Friday, Oct. 2 at 4 p.m.

The winning school will receive a $1,000 donation from the National Center for Sports Safety and the Alabama Power Foundation.
