• The Boys Basketball team lost to Illing Middle School 58-47 in Manchester. Outside shooting kept the Cougars in the game hitting eleven 3’s as a team. Turnovers led to some easy baskets for Illing and the Cougars fought back but it wasn’t enough.  The team fell to 1-1 for the season and they look to bounce back after vacation. There next game is away against Ellington on January 4th.
  

• The Lady Cougars continued on their winning ways, beating Illing last night 32-20.  Shea Brochu led the Lady Cougars with 12 points, including three 3-pointers.  Maria Puniello added 6 points on the night as well.  TEMS was relentless from the start...opening up a 18-8 lead at halftime.  Key defensive efforts kept the Rams from getting anything going.  Adding to their lead after halftime, Allie Kupec finished a nice and-one midway through the fourth quarter.  Olivia Dzubin scored 4 points on the evening, Alex Gogic chipped in three, and both Elise Glunt and Emmi Tushe dropped a bucket each.  The Lady Cougars have a long extended break and get back at it after the holidays.  Congrats on a great game girls.

• The Timothy Edwards girls basketball team tipped off the season last night taking on the Rams of Illing in a CRAL battle. With butterflies in their stomach the Cougars came out red hot and blitzed the Rams in the first quarter and never looked back. Leading the way for the Lady Cougars was Kai Grate with 18 points on the night. Emery Forko, Teagan Purcell, and Keira Dietelbaum, the three captains, guided the Lady Cougars all night. Maria Piniello chipped in a cool nine points, as did Shea Brochu. The Lady Cougars won in all aspects of the game, meaning, rebounding, fast break points, steals, and overall team defending and hustle. The Lady Cougars travel to Suffield, tonight, to take on the wild cats. Keep up the great work girls.
