Lyndonville plans reunion to celebrate 50 years of the Tigers boys soccer program
Contributed Photo – A reunion is being planned for October 4 marking the 50th anniversary of the Lyndonville boys varsity soccer program which began with this 1976 team.
This season marks the 50th year of boys varsity soccer at Lyndonville High.
To celebrate the occasion a 50-Year Soccer Reunion is being planned as part of Lyndonville’s Homecoming celebration on Saturday, October 4.
The event is being organized by Wes Bradley who coached the Tigers varsity squad from its inception in 1976 to 2002.
Two boys varsity Alumni soccer games are planned for that day. The first game at noon will match those graduating in odd vs. even years from 1977-2000. The second at 1 p.m. will match those graduating in odd vs. even years from 2001 to 2025.
In addition, a Boys Alumni Soccer Social gathering is being planned for 7 to 9 p.m.
“Those LCS Alumni planning to attend, please email Coach Bradley @ wbradley@lcsdk12.org ASAP with the year that you graduated as well as the number of people who will be attending the evening Social Gathering. This will aid in putting teams together and to know the amount of food to be ordered,” said Bradley “All are asked to contact teammates from the year(s) that you played and spread the word to all former players and friends when you see them. Watching fathers, sons and other relatives on the pitch that day should produce lots of memories and good conversation. It would be awesome to have a least one representative from every year. Former coaches have been notified and hopefully some/all will be able to join the gathering. Looking forward to having a great turnout for a once-in-a-lifetime event.”
Bradley added that additionally, as a fundraiser for the LCS Sports Boosters, the group is selling commemorative 50th Anniversary soccer shirts. They are pre-sale only with September 19th being the last day to order. All information regarding ordering may be found on the “Lyndonville Sports Boosters” Facebook website.
