    " Calling all Douglas Bulldog fans!!! We need your help voting online for the famous Bisbee-Douglas sports rivalry. It's on USA Today's website. The winning rivalry will split a cash prize of $10,000. This is for real. If Douglas wants free cash for DHS everyone needs to vote! Will need well over 80,000 votes to win National. Let's do this Douglas!
