• Last night the TEMS girls soccer team faced JFK Middle School for the CRAL Championship. The last time TEMS played JFK the game ended in a 2-2 tie. The Lady Cougars knew it was going to be a tough match and they needed to come out strong and that is just what they did. In the first half the ball was buzzing around the field. JFK just could not keep up. It was goal, after goal, after goal. We were on FIRE! The Lady Cougars ended up placing 4 balls in the back of the net in the first half. The half ended 4-0 us. There was a big pep talk from Captain Allison Marques at the half. JFK came out strong in the second half. They were able to score 2 goals to make the game 4-2. The Cougars held a strong defensive and thanks to goal keeper Victoria Maachi the Cougars were able to walk away with the win. The TEMS girls soccer team wins the 2023 championship. Their final record was 13-0-1. The team would also like to congratulate the boys team on their win last night against Ellington. Coach B and Coach Sayed give a special shout out to all 8th grades; Shea, Allison, Gianna, Gamble, Liston, Doreen, Evelyn, Julia Thorne, Marin and managers Quyen and Mia. Thanks for an awesome season ladies. Let's do it again next year! 

• Last night the TEMS Boys Soccer team hosted the Ellington Wildcats in the CRAL Championship game.  Both teams were poised to take home the hardware but only one team could as one team had to be crowned champion.  The early stages of the match were controlled very efficiently by the Cougars, as they passed the ball around confidently.  One chance was saved by their keeper, another missed just wide.  The Wildcats weathered the storm and had a few chances of their own, though Aniron Pal sucked everything up like a vacuum.  The score at halftime was 0-0, though it felt like TE had the better of the play.  The second half was much of the same.  TE was attacking relentlessly.  Garren Kerashsky narrowly missed, and Dillon Leacu had his effort tipped onto the bar and it landed just in front of the line.  Fortunately, for Ellington, no one attacked the loose ball and the chance fizzled away.  Dalton Crane, Logan Jackson and Dave Nise, were solid defensively all game.  6th graders Jaxson Blanchfield and Sammy Forko filled in nicely on the right side as well.  As the final whistle blew, the score was still tied 0-0.  Both games against Ellington were draws during the regular season , however, in the tournament there must be a winner so the match went into overtime.  Zayd Sebro pressed, Mo Rahman battled, and Haris worked tirelessly throughout the game.  With the first 5- minute overtime in the books, the Cougars had 5 minutes left in their season.  A corner was earned with about one minute left on the clock.  Aaron Cherian sprinted to the ball to serve it into the box.  As the ball floated in the mixer, the rowdy crowd went uncharacteristically silent.  The ball was lofted over the keeper and found Crane's head.  His header was pure and it found the back of the net.  What was a silent crowd for a couple seconds, it immediately erupted as the Cougars took the 1-0 lead.  Once the final whistle blew, Coach Chandler was extremely relieved.  "The best two teams were in the final.  It was a great game and it just went our way today," he stated.  Dalton Crane added, "I'm super happy with how the team played today.  I think the returning players have a good chance to repeat next season."  Congratulations on a great season boys, an undefeated one at that.  The Cougars finished the year, with a 12-0-2 record.  Congratulations to all of you.
