Aurora, Ontario.  December 01, 2011.  – Edmonton, Alberta’s Harry Ainlay High School and Trenton, Ontario’s Trenton High School are among the second half winners of State Farm Friday Night Feats – www.FridayNightFeats.com -, a video contest highlighting the biggest moments from this year's high school football season.

They join first half Canadian finalists, Manotick, Ontario’s St. Mark Catholic High School and Cornwall, Ontario’s St. Joseph’s Catholic High School, who are among 52 winners from across North America that were awarded $2,500 and now have a chance at the $15,000 first prize.

The videos that won $2,500 and advance to become “Finalist Nominees” of the fan-fueled football contest were determined by fan votes on www.FridayNightFeats.com during the second half of the contest that ran from October 10 through November 28, 2011.

“We want to congratulate this year’s Friday Night Feats finalist nominees from across North America,” said Victor Terry, Vice President – Agency for State Farm. “The community support that these schools have garnered is inspiring and we’re proud to support efforts like Friday Night Feats that help our communities get to a better State™.”

As the second half of Friday Night Feats comes to a close, State Farm will turn to its panel of judges to narrow the field of “Finalist Nominees” down to the top 10 videos based on the "wow" factor, athleticism, impact of the play, and creativity of the video.
