Fall Sports Preview
With the cooler temperatures of the last few days, it is really starting to feel less like summer and more like autumn. The change of season ushers in many exciting things, including a new athletics season! Read on for some highlights of each of our fall interscholastic sports teams, as shared by LuHi’s Athletic Director Mr. Todd Huebner, including key games, matches, and meets where you can come cheer on your LuHi Crusaders!
Football - The LuHi Football team is gearing up for their first season in the Metropolitan Independent Football League. Coach Reno’s squad includes a group of promising athletes that have a combination of both strength and speed. They open the season on Friday, September 6th at 7 PM under the lights at Cantiague Park, and the Homecoming game is Saturday, October 12th at 2 PM vs Montclair Kimberley Academy.
