At halftime, four Lynbrook High School alumni were inducted into the Lynbrook Public Schools’ Athlete Hall of Fame for their contributions and excellence in athletics while at Lynbrook High School. The district honored alumni Russell Benvenuto, Don Borges, Brian Ciampi and Dana Levitt on the football field. In addition, the cheer team performed a spirited routine, along with the kickline team. Under the direction of Bryan White, the Lynbrook High School marching band entertained the crowd with their Temptations-inspired show, “Get Ready.” The Lynbrook Owl showcased his dance moves and members of the kickline team joined the marching band as they performed to the music.
The Lynbrook Fighting Owls took home the big win against the Bellmore-Kennedy Cougars, 28-0, marking a sweet end to homecoming.
