• Welcome back to another edition of TETV Morning News.   Today is Tuesday, February 21.

• Last Wednesday night, the Lady Cougars traveled to Suffield to play for the CRAL Championship.  The first quarter was one to forget as the Lady Cougars were not able to get into the game and fell behind early.  In the second quarter, TE 'clawed' their way back into the contest and were only down six, as the score was 17-11 at intermission.  Shea Brochu was a girl possessed all night as she and Keira Dietelbaum had the only points for the Lady Cougars in the first half.  After a very long intermission, TE came out firing on all cylinders in the second half.  Kai Grate, Emery Forko, and Brochu stepped it up and cut the lead to 5 going into the fourth quarter.  TE erupted for 16 points in the quarter and ran the clock out as Suffield was trying to foul.  Teagan Purcell contributed a couple significant buckets to keep the Lady Wildcats at bay.  In the end, it was Brochu's dominance on the offensive end and her hypnotic ball handling at the end of the game that secured the victory for the Lady Cougars.  Suffield was forced to foul and the Cougars were able to run out the clock effectively which led to the Lady Cougars taking home the hardware.  As it stands, the TEMS Lady Cougars are crowned the 2022-2023 CRAL Champions with a 37-33 victory.  Congratulations ladies.  Way to go!
