Calhoun Colts Gallop to Victory at Homecoming

Sanford H. Calhoun High School, in the Bellmore-Merrick Central High School District, held its annual Colt Fest, pep rally and homecoming game on Oct. 24.

Hundreds of Calhoun’s faithful turned out for Colt Fest, which featured live music, raffles, games, face painting for the football game and a DJ. Calhoun’s clubs and organizations manned a number of tables, encouraging students to sign up. The tables offered raffles, baked goods and other treats. Fest-goers also got treated to a cotton-candy machine operated by members of the sophomore class.

After Colt Fest, the crowd gravitated to the grandstands to watch the pep rally. Emceed by Calhoun students Nicole Imhof, Jessica Mosca and Jenna Pasternak, the pep rally introduced the members of all the school’s fall and winter sports teams. Each team went to midfield and performed a short, creative dance number as the crowd cheered. The pep rally also featured performances from both the varsity and junior varsity kickline and cheerleading squads.

Afterwards, the Colts took the field and played a tight defensive game against Westbury’s Green Dragons. Calhoun satisfied the crowd with a homecoming victory, defeating Westbury 13-0.
