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

• In girls basketball news, the undefeated Lady Cougars opened the CRAL tournament semi-final round with a game against the Windsor Locks Wildcats last night. The game was hotly contested in the first half with TE leading 20-7 at the intermission.  The Lady Cougars gained their early lead by attacking the rim and getting fouled which led to numerous free throws. TE converted 14 points off free throws in the first half alone.  In fact, TE's strong defense held the Wildcats to 0 points in the second quarter which gave the Lady Cougars the halftime advantage.  In the second half, TE was tested by a strong Wildcat press, as Windsor Locks won the quarter by four points.  In the fourth, the Lady Cougars revisited their regular season dominance by winning the quarter 12-4 thus securing the victory, 42-25.  Leading the Lady Cougars was Elise Glunt with 11 points on the night.  Both Emily Keegan and Emmi Tushe finished with nine points, while Maddie Carpenter added seven on the night.  Leighton Edwards, Raegan Burnham and Ali Kupec rounded out the scoring with two points each.  "It was a great result for the ladies tonight," Coach Chandler said.  "The team has worked hard all season and it all comes down to one game.  They are ready, they are hungry and I can't wait to see how they perform on Monday," Coach Chandler added. Monday marks the last game of the season and hopefully the TEMS faithful will pack the house to show their support.  Congratulations ladies and good luck in the final on Monday.
