The Wellington C. Mepham High School football team defeated Long Beach High School Oct. 16, 28-13, during their homecoming game.

Ahead of the game, Mepham held its pep rally and Pirate Fest, which included a fundraising dunk tank, snacks, student-run club tables and more.

The band, led by Anthony Brandofino, provided musical interludes throughout the game. Cheer and kickline teams entertained the crowd, both during the game and at halftime.

Dimitri Gogas and Camryn Kwitko were named homecoming king and queen, respectively.

Brian Levy, a 1960 graduate of Mepham and active member of alumni association, was the homecoming grand marshal.

He and his wife, Joan Levy, attended the game.

During the game, quarterback Dominick Novello ran for one touchdown and had a 35-yard pass to wide receiver Steven Mulqueen for another. Novello also scored on a 95-yard kickoff return. Wide receiver Dominic Inzerilla had a 25-year interception returned for a touchdown.
