Oct. 16, 2025: Bronxville High School celebrated Homecoming last week with lots of activities both on and off the field. The Bronxville community enjoyed the food trucks on Wednesday, while the high school students rallied around the bonfire on Thursday. Friday was packed with events including a Homecoming parade and the conclusion of Grade Wars, which featured many activities including musical chairs, an egg toss, and a tug of war. And, of course, everyone enjoyed hanging out with the Bronco.

The sports teams entertained the fans at Chambers Field with games every night under the lights. There were also off-site contests last week including two cross country meets, girls’ tennis and volleyball matches, and a girls’ swim meet.
From Thursday to Saturday, all the turf teams delighted the Homecoming crowd with wins. With only a few games remaining in the regular season, each team is at the top of their game as playoffs approach.
Below is a look at how the teams fared during Homecoming Week.
Football
On Saturday night, the undefeated football team took the field and showed the fans why they deserve their No. 5 ranking in the Section 1 by LoHud. Facing Class B John Jay Cross River, the Bronco offense scored three times in the 1st quarter and once in the 2nd to take a commanding 34-0 halftime lead.
With the score at 41-0, John Jay Cross River finally got on the board late in the 3rd quarter and added another touchdown in the 4th. A Bronco field goal in the final minute of the game sealed an overwhelming 44-13 victory.
The Class C Broncos (5-0) have already had impressive wins over the top two Class B teams, Westlake and Sleepy Hollow. Their main competition in Class C is expected to be Dobbs Ferry, which stands at 4-1 with its only loss to Tuckahoe.
One of the most anticipated games of the season will take place this Saturday at 1:30 on Chambers Field as Bronxville hosts rival Tuckahoe. Both teams enter the contest undefeated setting the stage for an exciting matchup.
