Blue Skies and Big Wins at Lindenhurst Homecoming

The Bulldog community came out in full force to support the varsity football team during the annual Lindenhurst School District homecoming festivities.

The events began on Sept. 23 with the middle school pep rally. Student-athletes from all teams showed their Lindy Pride, donning green and white and cheering from the bleachers.

The homecoming fun continued into the evening as the high school pep rally brought together all sports teams, the marching band, dance teams and the cheerleaders to further illustrate a unified Lindenhurst. To conclude the high school pep rally, homecoming queen and king Shannon Lydon and James Bugelli were announced to the loud applause of their fellow schoolmates. The student council and athletic department coordinated the weekend’s activities.

The parade on Sept. 24 began at Fireman’s Park, made its way down Wellwood Avenue and ended at Lindenhurst Middle School. Each class float represented a different comic book. The freshman class represented Superman, the sophomore class depicted the Incredibles and the junior and senior classes portrayed the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and Batman vs. Superman, respectively.

At halftime, there were special performances from the school’s marching band, color guard, cheerleading squads and dance team. At that time, it was announced that the sophomore class won the competition with their beautiful float.

In the end, the Bulldogs reigned victorious as they shut out the Brentwood Indians 35-0.
