Mostly Cloudy Bruins dominate at Baldwin Homecoming
The Baldwin Bruins gave the community a reason to celebrate at their homecoming game after their victory over Port Washington last week.
Hundreds of people came out to fill the football field stands this weekend, at the Baldwin High School Homecoming game on Saturday, October 8. On a clear and sunny day, the Varsity cheerleaders, marching band, and the victorious Bruins treated the Baldwin community to a day of spirited performances and community pride.
To everyone’s delights, the Baldwin Bruins defeated Port Washington with a 39-12 victory, scoring over 30 points for a third game in a row, with their highest offensive output of 2022. The game kicked off at 2 p.m. and lasted for about two hours, pausing intermittently for a half time show performance by the Varsity cheerleaders and marching band.
As is tradition, the Baldwin High School crowned their homecoming king and queens at the homecoming game. This year, students chose Joseph Gonzalez and Brianna Walters as homecoming king and queen respectively.
“I was shocked but I was excited. I appreciate my fellow classmates voted for me and I thank them all,” said Walters.
Gonzalez said he’s been nominated to the school’s royal court twice before, but this is his first time he’s been chosen to represent his colleagues as homecoming king.
“I was so excited to be chosen as king, I love the people that voted for me,” said Gonzalez. “For the first time, I’m part of the royal court as king.”
Among the crowd, Assemblywoman Judy Griffin celebrated homecoming with Superintendent Dr. Cahmi, School Board President Susan Cools, Vice President Thomas Smyth, and others.
“Thank you to all the students, athletes, and school staff who made this such a great community event,” said Griffin. “Shout out to BHS PTA for your dedication and diligence, BHS Homecoming Queen Brianna Walters, and proud Baldwin Bombers moms like Kimberly Smith-Daniels!”
Griffin said it was a beautiful day for Baldwin High School’s Homecoming and enjoyed the performances by the Bruins football players, the spirited Varsity cheerleaders, and BHS marching band. She said it was great to see so many alumni, students, families, residents, and faculty.
