Locust Valley Falcons win on homecoming

The Locust Valley Falcons celebrated a victorious homecoming weekend, Oct. 25-26, that capped off a week of incredible festivities.

The fun began with Friday’s pep rally that pumped up students and staff for Saturday’s football game against the Malverne Mules. School spirit was on full display during the parade that showcased the artistic creativity of each class through their intricately designed Western-themed floats as they cruised through Bayville and Locust Valley. The party continued at Fred Smith Field, where the cheerleading, kickline and football teams all celebrated their senior days.

Once the homecoming events concluded, all eyes were on the football team as they continued to battle for a playoff spot. Wide receiver Kyle Demosthene hauled in two touchdowns from quarterback Connor Geertgens and the defense made a crucial fourth down and inches stop in the waning moments of the fourth quarter –securing a 13-8 victory.

From the pep rally, to the parade and all of the festivities on gameday, including a visit from the high school’s Class of 1974, the community once again made homecoming day an amazing celebration of its athletes and a showcase of its school spirit.
