Hornets buzz back into town, tame Bulldogs

Posted

Football took over Firemen’s Field on Oct. 4 as the Green Hornets youth league held its annual Homecoming celebration. There was a sea of green and white in the stands as hundreds came to cheer the players.

Following a full slate of morning games, the festivities began at 2:45 p.m. with performances by the cheerleading squads, singing of the “Star-Spangled Banner” and the introduction of players on the varsity team.

The varsity players then went on to defeat their opponents, the visiting Lindenhurst Bulldogs, 20-12. The Midget White and Pony White teams also won their games earlier in the day, and the Pee Wee level team got it all started with a victory Saturday evening.
