  • Now here is Bridget and Ava with cross country news. The boys cross country team finally got another race in on Monday afternoon, and the wet conditions weren't enough to slow the Cougars down.  TE traveled to Tolland and notched a solid victory, 23 to 36.  Colin Heslin led the team, crossing the line in second overall.  Matt Venzie sped his way to a top 10 finish, passing several runners in his impressive final kick. Andres Anastasi and Ethan Burke both showed some sixth grade strength, breaking into the top 20 overall finishers.  Elijah Chaimovitch, feeling a couple teeth lighter, flew down the final stretch running his best time of the year.  The boys will be back on their home course on Thursday afternoon for the final home meet of the year.
  • The girls cross country team suffered their 1st loss of the season to a tough bunch of Tolland runners last night with a final score of 23 to 32. Despite the loss, TE ran strong making it a close race with tremendous finishes. Audrey Manning finished in 2nd overall in a time of 14:06 with Taylor Lord not far behind, who ran a great race as she passed 2 Tolland runners to come in 3rd place of the 59 runners. Many TE girls moved up several places on the team, pushing themselves to new limits including Prisha Thomas and Annaliese Mills, who both moved up 8 places. An especially outstanding effort was made by 6th grader Julia Rondinone who moved up 13 places while taking minutes off her best time.  The team looks forward to their final home meet at Nevers this Thursday against Sage Park and Two Rivers. Good luck, Cougars!

  • The lady Cougars traveled to Ellington yesterday afternoon in a physical and face paced game. The Cougars started by matching Ellington's pace on the ball. Sarah Gordon struck first with a speedy run down the wing and was able to find the back of the net putting the Cougars up 1-0. Throughout the entire game, midfielders Megan Martin, Iniya Raja, and Emily Ledger seemed to never run out of steam as they kept pace with the opposition up and down the pitch. TE's defenders including Sidney Montana, Hailey Testa, Leighana Ferrabelo, and Mikayla Evans played OUTSTANDING and demonstrated true work ethic in their ability to protect the goal. Shots in the second half came from Chion Pollard, Lexi Lilly, and Sarah Gordon as the Cougars pushed forward to secure a victory. However, the effort to clinch a win was thwarted as Ellington managed to pop in two shots midway through the second half. Despite the loss, Haley Butler made a resounding 8 saves on the day and led the back four with her leadership between the pipes. However, the highlight of the game came from Sidney Montana who managed to clear an opposing shot off the goal line, saving TE from going down another goal. With all said and done, TE move to a record of 3-3 on the season and look forward to face Illing at home today at 3:30. 
  • The TEMS Field Hockey Team faced off against JFK of Enfield yesterday. The Cougars won the first game with a score of 6-0. Scoring the first goal for the cougars was Sophie Finer with an assist from Kaylee Guerrera. The second goal was scored by Rachel Turrer with an assist by Abby Bergstrom. Rachel also scored the third goal of the game unassisted. Amanda Koziura , Emily Osit and Tori Jarvis worked together to score next with a double assisted goal. Gialla Bellody scored the fifth goal assisted by Rachel Turrer, adding to her impressive point total for the day. Gianna went on to assist the last goal of the game scored by Alexa Parada. Ria Saxena was credited with the shutout with the defense doing a great job keeping the ball on the Patriot's side of the field. The second game was also won by the Cougars with a score of 4-1. Alexis Dabrowski scored twice, Alexa Parada chipped in a goal and an assist and Sarah Stoddard scored the final goal. Karen Luo, Meredith Pinto, Brenda Do and Avery Pelczar also played great for the Cougars. The teams next home game is today, after school against Avery Middle School of Sommers. Come out and support the team!!

Outstanding play came from left back Leighana Ferrabelo and center midfielder Iniya Raja who provided countless defensive stops for the Cougars. Katelyn Roux tallied two goals on the day along with another added by 6th grader Elise Suffish.

  • Yesterday afternoon, the lady Cougars kicked off against East Hartford in a rainy match. The Cougars started off the match strong and proved to be relentless in their pursuit for a win. The lady Cougars tallied an astounding 7-0 win over their opponents. Strong midfield possession came from Emerson Iacovelli, Abby Peruccio, and Mikayla Evans. The flanks kept East Hartford on their toes with threatening crossing into the box from Leighana Ferrabelo, Chion Pollard, and Ritika Abburi. The game was one of 'firsts' as Katelyn Roux, Haley Testa, and Huntyr Courtois found the scoreboard for the first time this season. Additionally, 8th grader Emily Ledger tallied a wonderful goal off an assist from Sarah Gordon. Leading the pack with 3 points on the day was Lexi Lilly. Gordon posted a total of two assists on the day with additional assists coming from the feet of the strikers Elise Suffish and Katelyn Roux. Outstanding performance goes to Hailey Testa, Huntyr Courtois, and Megan Martin who played exceptional in the midfield and helped to secure the Cougar victory. Finally, Haley Butler was able to secure her second clean sheet of a season and posted one save on the day. The Cougars look forward to their next game at Sage Park on Thursday.
