12th Annual "Under the Lights" Games This Friday

Babylon Junior-Senior High School will host the 12th Annual Soccer Under the Lights Games this Friday, October 18th.

The game, which features a boys soccer matchup and a girls soccer game, honors the spirit of volunteerism of Randy Zwerlein, who died of cancer in January 2002. 

The event will celebrate its twelfth year on this Friday.

Zwerlein was the husband of Babylon Memorial Grade School fifth grade teacher Rayna Zwerlein, and the father of two children who attended Babylon Village schools: Cory, now 28, and Amanda, now 26.

The event aims to keep Zwerlein's volunteer spirit alive by supporting Babylon High School student scholarships.

Zwerlein was active in the Babylon Soccer Club, the Babylon Lions Club, and was also a big part of an organization called COMPASS, which was a high-school-based group of parents dedicated to keeping our youth safe.

The event will take place at the Panthers' home field at the high school starting at 4 p.m., while the games will get underway at 4:30 p.m. for the girls game versus Pierson/Bridgehampton and 7:00 p.m. for the boys game against Port Jefferson.
