Photos: Kennedy High School claims victory at homecoming

After the rain forced the cancellation of the annual homecoming dance and tailgate traditions, Bellmore-Merrick’s John F. Kennedy High School football team was victorious during their Sept. 30 game against Division Avenue High School, 40-18.

The Kennedy pep band, led by Walter Avellaneda, provided musical entertainment throughout the game. Cheer and kickline teams performed for the crowd, both during the game and at halftime.

Members of the student government were on hand to sell Kennedy spirit wear and CHAMP students manned the snack shack.

The entire school community participated in a pep rally on Sept. 29. The dance and tailgate have been rescheduled for Oct. 27 and 28, respectively. During that game, the Athletics Hall of Fame will induct its third class.
