• The Timothy Edwards baseball team starting off on the right path in defense of its 2022 CRAL Championship by defeating Tolland, 8 to 1. Leading the way offensively for the Cougars was Nick Gombotz with 2 hits, including a triple and 3 RBI.  Ben Tetreault chipped in with 2 singles and Bennett Durbois added a double for the home team. On the pitcher's mound, Tetreault struck out 7 Falcon batters and allowed no hits in picking up the victory.  Durbois and Braydon Falco finished up on the mound to assist in the win.  TE's next game is at home Monday vs. Ellington.   

• Have you ever heard about Purple Up Day? The whole month of April is celebrated as the Month of the Military Child and it's a great opportunity to honor and appreciate military families and their children for the sacrifices they make and the challenges they overcome. Since military parents are often away from home, Purple Up Day became an important symbol of supporting, uplifting, and being there for military kids since their built-in support system isn’t always available to them. Help us support them by wearing your PURPLE tomorrow April 21st.
