• The Lady Cougars hosted the first round of the CRAL playoffs last night taking on the JFK Lady Patriots from Enfield.  The first half was hotly contested though Emery Forko gave the Lady Cougars a very important 3 point lead going into half time.  She beat the buzzer with a 3 of her own sending the crowd into a frenzy.  The halftime score was 21-18.  In the second half, Teagan Purcell, Kai Grate and Shea Brochu lead the charge and extended the lead by four, 29-22, going into the 4th quarter.  The fourth quarter required the Lady Patriots to play man to man and TEMS took advantage with quick ball handing and smart finishes on the fast break.  With 7 different players scoring, the final score was 43-33.  The Lady Cougars will face the winner of the Ellington/Suffield game also being played today.  Good luck ladies.

• We are back celebrating Black History Month. Today we recognize Muhammad Ali was known to many as a champion boxer and a man who fought for racial and social justice his entire life. He acquired Parkinson’s at age 42 and became a role model for people with physical disabilities. What many may not know, however, is that Ali also had dyslexia. Muhammad Ali was a champion of overcoming challenges and said “If my mind can conceive it, and I can believe it—then I can achieve it”.
