Northport-East Northport Celebrates Homecoming

Students, faculty and the greater Northport-East Northport community gathered on Sept. 24 to showcase their school spirit during Northport High School’s football game against the Central Islip Musketeers.

The stands at Tiger Stadium were packed with onlookers while the Northport High School cheerleaders chanted and threw mini foam footballs into the crowd. The Class of 2016 Northport Hall of Fame inductees got a close up seat to the game with a tent at the end of the field.

Halftime provided a variety of entertainment for the community to enjoy. Fresh from performing at Citi Field on Sept. 23, the Northport Tiger Marching Band, featuring the Tigerettes and Flagline, performed “Tigers Through The Decades” with a medley of songs. The Sparkle Squad, made up of members from the Tigerettes and community, executed a dance routine for the crowd and the new Northport Hall of Fame inductees were revealed to the public.

Homecoming court nominees took a jeep ride around the field followed by a special guest appearance from Northport High School alum and Paralympic Gold Medalist Mikey Brannigan. Brannigan waved to the crowd as they cheered.
