• The Lady Cougars roared into the semi-finals yesterday afternoon, facing off against Suffield Middle School. The first half was a whirlwind of action, with the ball zipping across the field. Both teams had their moments, but the score remained locked at 0-0.Then, in the opening minutes of the second half, 8th grader Aleksa Zajac ignited the team by chanting "GOAL in first five!" And that's exactly what happened. Madison C. unleashed a powerful shot from just outside the 18, sending the ball soaring into the top right corner. The crowd erupted as the Lady Cougars took the lead! Determined to maintain their advantage, the team tightened their defense, stopping Suffield's every attack. But the Lady Cougars weren't done yet. Audrey L. pounced on an opportunity, charging the goalie and slotting the ball into an empty net. The score was 2-0, and the Lady Cougars were on fire! Now, the stage is set for the CRAL finals on Thursday. Will the Lady Cougars continue their winning streak? Stay tuned!

• Last night the TE Boys soccer team laid claim to the CRAL Championship for the second year in a row, beating Suffield 3-1 at Nevers last night.  TE newly crowned repeat champions had such a run this year, all their hard work finally paid off in the end.  The first half of the game was nip and tuck, back and forth until Dillon Leacu tallied just before the halftime time whistle.  Leacu struck the ball low and hard to the right corner of the net, with his left foot, no less, to give the Cougars a 1-0 lead going into half time.  In the second frame, TE was still dominant in possession leaving the wildcats chasing the ball all over the pitch.  After numerous chances in the first half, Adam Elsendyouney finished one off a skirmish in front of the net.  Liam Staroverov hammered one off the crossbar which looked like it was over the goal line but the referee didn't give it.  In a matter of seconds Elsendyouney was able to bury it firmly past the Suffield keeper.  Elsendyouney would then put the game to bed later in the half with a luscious strike just under the crossbar.  TE's back four were solid all game and thwarted the wildcat attack consistently.  Suffield pulled one back towards the end of the contest, but the game was in the hands of the Cougars.  Congratulations to all the boys, especially the 8th graders, who contributed mightily all season.  Next year the boys will be going for a three peat, just like that other team here in the area.  If you see a TE player today, wish them a hearty congratulations. 

• We are down to the last two days of our annual fundraiser. We need to reach our goal by 11:59 PM on Friday, November 1^st . Currently we need $3,000 , with that, we can continue to give back to our students with fun activities, new books and materials, acts of kindness, helping with field trip costs, surprises throughout the year, and so much more! We had such positive feedback from all of you about the Active-Thon, that it was fun and you had a great time and having Kona Ice was a big hit. The PTO sponsors all of that and many more events and activities throughout the year. When we reach our goal we can ALL go outside for a day in the spring for “Team Olympics”  and we get to slime Principal Irwin and Associate Principal Clifton. We need help from ALL of our students. Tell your families to help us get to our goal.
