Polaris RANGER Announces Partnership With Dave Campbell Texas Football and University Interscholastic League (UIL)

Polaris RANGER, the industry’s No.1-selling utility side-by-side vehicle, today announced a partnership with Dave Campbell Texas Football and the University Interscholastic League (UIL), as the official off-road vehicle of the 2019 Texas High School Football season. The brand will have a footprint at 14 games throughout the regular and postseason. Along with having the latest RANGER units on hand, attendees during the regular season games will have the opportunity to enter to win a 2020 RANGER XP 1000 Texas Edition. RANGER will also host a Polaris Scholar of the Week Award throughout the season recognizing athletes for their accomplishments and leadership in the classroom.

“The passion people have for football in Texas is as big as the state and it truly brings communities together,” said Josh Hermes, RANGER marketing director. “We’re excited to be a part of Texas High School Football this season and show our love for the game by recognizing programs that are driven and embody the hard-working values of RANGER.”

As part of the partnership, Polaris RANGER is working with Dave Campbell Texas Football to find the Most Driven Team in Texas that most embodies the hard-working DNA of the brand. RANGER is the hardest working utility side-by-side known for meeting the demands of Texas consumers who live life outdoors and tackle some of the toughest jobs. This Fall, five football programs will be selected to share their unique story on what drives their team and community as they compete for the title of Polaris’ Most Driven Team. Finalists will be announced at the end of the regular season and it will be up to passionate fans and communities to vote for the winner on TexasFootball.com. The winning team will be announced at the UIL Football State Championships on December 21st at AT&T Stadium and will be presented with the grand prize, an all-new 2020 RANGER XP 1000 Texas Edition vehicle for their program.

"We believe Polaris and Texas High School Football are a great match,” said Adam Hochfelder, Dave Campbell’s Texas Football President. “Texas High School Football is part of the fabric of the culture of our great state and we love how Polaris is focusing on the drive it takes to compete each Friday Night. From our perspective, it is a great partnership.”
