Brentwood kicked off homecoming weekend Friday, Oct. 3, with an outdoor pep rally that shook the field. The marching band blared, cheerleaders flew through the air and students waved green and white banners like tiny tornadoes of school pride. Laughter, chants and drumbeats filled the space as everyone got hyped for a weekend of fun.

Saturday, Oct. 4, turned Third Avenue into a cartoon wonderland. Floats rolled by, bursting with color and imagination – superheroes, classic cartoons and wacky creations from students and local groups made the parade feel alive. Families lined the sidewalks, snapping photos, waving and laughing as the floats danced down the street.

The grand finale came under sunny skies at the football field. Brentwood’s players didn’t just play – they roared. The team trounced Riverhead 42-7, sending the crowd into cheers that echoed across the stands. Cris Peralta carried the day with 263 rushing yards, four touchdowns and two catches for 24 yards plus a two-point conversion. Malachi Baker added 58 yards and a touchdown while Herson Flores and Justin Rivera each turned the tide with big turnovers. Every touchdown sparked cheers, high-fives and plenty of green-and-white banners waving.

From the pep rally to the cartoon parade to the dominating win on the field, Brentwood homecoming was pure energy, creativity and community spirit. Smiles were contagious, school pride was on full display and memories were made that will last long after the confetti cleared.
