Massapequa Homecoming Caps Off Spirit Week

MASSAPEQUA, NY. – Homecoming week in Massapequa came to a raucous conclusion Saturday as the community celebrated with a parade through Massapequa Park before watching the football team roll over visiting Syosset 42 to 7.

While the parade and football game were the highlights Saturday, Massapequa High School made the preceding week “Spirit Week,” featuring themed dress-up days and a Friday pep rally that saw each Fall sports team introduced in front of their classmates.

The parade kicked off at Massapequa Park Village Hall Saturday afternoon, with a cohort that included the Board of Education, Massapequa cheerleaders, class banners, the kickline team and the pep band, as well as a slew of local community organizations like the Connor Kasin Memorial Foundation, Kiwanis Club and the Massapequa Fire Department.

The parade traveled down Park Boulevard and Merrick Road before reaching the high school, where senior Angela Biondi sang the national anthem and Emilio Egher, Andrew McKeever and Adriana Sherman and from Massapequa’s American Sign Language program performed it in sign language.

Once the game kicked off, Massapequa rolled out to a 21 to 0 halftime lead. After halftime performances by the cheerleaders and kickline team, the drubbing continued: Massapequa finished off visiting Syosset by a score of 42 to 7. The win marked Massapequa football’s seventh of the year, keeping their undefeated record alive.
