• The girl's softball team hosted Ellington Middle School on Thursday. Meghan Doherty took the mound and had a shaky first inning, but found her strength and command to keep TE in the game.  The Cougars battled back in the first inning- being patience at the plate, which allowed TE to get on base and take advantage of some excellent base running to take the lead.  Doherty was also an offensive nightmare for Ellington, crushing the ball at her at-bats, and getting her first triple of the season. TE was able to use that momentum to add runs and pull away with the win. Other notable moments: Reese Pellerin had a great at-bat in the final inning; Hailey Olints had her first hit of the season. Congrats to all the Cougars on a well-played game. It was really fun watching you play. The Cougars are away next Tuesday against East Hartford. Go Cougars!

• On Thursday afternoon the TE baseball team defeated Ellington by a score of 9 to 3.  The pitching trio of Robbie Wunsch, Chris Strout and Sammy Balducci were solid in the win.  They scattered 7 hits and struck out 9 batters while only allowing one earned run in the game.  On the season, the TE pitching staff has only given up 7 earned runs in their 4 games and has a team 1.88 earned run average.  They have struck out 40 batters in the first four games of the season.  At the plate, the bats came alive yet again as the Cougars pounded out 11 hits.  Leading the way was Drew Dargati with 3 hits and 2 RBI. Robbie Wunsch and Jacob Gombotz added 2 hits apiece. TE's record improves to 3 wins and 1 loss on the season.   The next game is at East Hartford on Tuesday afternoon. 

• The TEMS literary magazine Out of the Blue is thrilled to release the 2020-2021 issue.  This is our tenth anniversary edition!  The magazine is posted on the TE homepage and should also be posted in your English or art teacher's Google Classroom.  We hope that you enjoy it!

• The TE baseball team played at Rotary Field on Monday in front of an estimated crowd of 125 cheering fans.  The Cougars did not disappoint as they defeated JFK by a score of 9 to 1.  Once again pitching was the name of the game.  Jake Palombizio, Brayden Edwards and Sam Balducci limited the Patriots to just 3 hits while striking out 11.  Edwards picked up his second win of the season.  In the first 3 games of the season, TE pitchers have only allowed 6 runs total. Offensively, Balducci had a single, a bases clearing double and 3 RBI.  Ethan Burke added a double and 2 singles and Edwards chipped in with 2 singles and an RBI.  Drew Dargati, Robbie Wunsch and Ben Albert had a single each for the Cougars.  The win pushes TE's record to 2 and 1 on the season.  The next game is Thursday at Ellington.

• The girls' softball team was away on Tuesday against Enfield's JFK. JFK would strike first, going up two runs in the first inning. But, the Cougars were not only led by Alexis Nisyrios on the mound but also at the plate. Nisyrios drove in Brianna LaGare in the fourth to score TE's first run of the game, as TE tried to get some momentum going on the offensive end. From the mound, Nisyrios was supported with some excellent defensive plays from Meghan Doherty, Angie Mundo, and Taylor Kehoe at first base. The Cougars had a late rally in the seventh, but JFK would quiet their bats in the end. The final score was JFK 5 - TE 1. The Cougars have their first home game on Thursday against Ellington this week.  Please come and support!

• The Boys Track Team hosted East Hartford on Monday for their first home meet of the season.  Although EH had a depleted squad, the TEMS boys came out strong with many solid individual and group performances, defeating East Hartford 83-22.  Kyden Merlin swept all of his events, winning the 100, 200, 400 and 4x100 relay with Mathias Baidoo, Sonit Shah, and Trestan Calloway.  Sonit Shah also placed second in the 400 meter sprint.  Stewart Christophel, Blake Wool, and Colton Flaherty swept the 1600 meter run. Nivaen Giritharan placed first in the 800.  Naol Tirfessa placed 2nd in the 55m hurdles.  Jacob Pflederer and Makai Payne earned 1st and 2nd in the Discus.  While Mahki Henderson and Matthew Habeeb placed 2nd and 3rd in the Long Jump. There were many other great performances from the team, too many to list.  The Boys Track Team will head to Tolland next Friday, May 21st, for their next meet.  Go Cougars!!!

• Congratulations to our TEMS Cougar Girls Track Team on their second victory of the season!  The girls dominated the meet against East Hartford with a final score of 103-2.  While there were many standouts from the meet, three girls did so well that they broke into the Timothy Edwards Top 10 All-time Record Book. Congrats to Susan Otaluka, who now holds our TEMS ALL Time Record title for her 200 meters run with a time of 26.35 seconds.  Not only that, but Susan now is in 3rd place in the 100 meters run with a time of 12.81 seconds.  In addition to Susan, Isabella Carpenter and Rachel Turer are now in the record book for their outstanding 800-meter runs.  Isabella is now 4th in the record book with a time of 2 minutes and 36 seconds while Rachel holds the 9th place spot. Congrats to all of the girls throughout the day!
