Homecoming at Long Beach High School was not only under the “Friday Night Lights” and included the usual trappings for the event — King and Queen — Maurice Dupree and Julia Digiorgio — the cheerleaders, the marching band and a home team football victory on Oct. 10.

The Marines knocked out a tough 14-7 win over Calhoun and upped their record to 3-2. Long Beach continues its season on Saturday as they travel to East Meadow for another huge Nassau Conference II contest
