Football started practice last week. This season marks the return to varsity competition for the Lyndonville boys squad which is shown here working on a ball control drill. The Tigers had a JV team last fall but not a varsity team as there were not enough players in the upper grades. Lyndonville will have its first varsity game since 2022 on September 4 at Attica.
