Lawrence High School in New York ends 28-game football losing streak with 38-36 win

Lawrence High School in Cedarhurst, New York, on Long Island, defeated Oyster Bay/Friends Academy 38-36 in their season opener, ending a four-year, 28-game losing streak. The team had faced the possibility of not fielding a varsity squad due to a shortage of players, a problem that forced two other schools to cancel their seasons. Senior Anthony Martinez played every snap despite cramping and recorded nine tackles. The victory was a significant achievement for the program, which had not won a game since 2022.
