Valley Stream North shows Spartan spirit at Friday Night Lights game

Broad floodlights illuminated the Valley Stream North High School playing field as the Spartan’s varsity football team faced off against rival Bethpage on September 22. This time around, the annual Friday Night Lights game ended in defeat for the home team. The Golden Eagles trounced the Spartans with a 32 to 7 victory. Aaron Sibbles closed a 68-yard distance to score North’s sole touchdown of the game alongside a field goal from A.J. Strojan. Valley Stream spectators’ spirit did not waver despite the upset.

An electric halftime performance was given by the Spartanettes kick line team and North marching band. The Spartan Club, a parent organization, sold stadium snacks and spiritwear including their famous “K-dogs,” hot dogs named in honor of late substitute teacher Paul Kay, and new favorites including empanadas and sesame noodles.
