However, standout performances came from Lila Sheridan, Raegan Burnham, and Claire Kaminski, who each contributed with key hits.Great job fighting out there, ladies! As the season nears its conclusion, TE is gearing up for the final stretch, with three games scheduled for next week—two away matches and one at home. Let’s finish strong!

• Yesterday, the TE Cougars baseball travelled to Vernon to take on the Eagles.  They came home with another big win, pushing their undefeated record to a perfect 10-0!  Will Baron had a fantastic game with a single, a double, and three RBI. Torin Edwards also had a single, a double, and two RBI. Brody Kelly, Tino Durbois, and Colin LeDoux each had two hits, contributing to the team's total of 13 hits! The Cougars were also effective on the base paths, successfully stealing eight bases. Ryan Browning led the team with four steals.  On the mound, Brody Kelly, Colin LeDoux, and Lucas Paauwe kept the Eagle hitters in check, combining to strike out 8 Vernon batters and allowing only 4 hits.  With the 10 to 1 victory,  the Cougars clinched first place in the CRAL and earned a spot in the Championship game on May 28th!  In the post game interview, Coach S. stated, we're proud of the 10-0 start, but we know we have to keep working hard, keep up the intensity and have to remain focused the rest of the season.  The Cougars have one more regular season home game this Friday against Windsor Locks.  Come out to support the boys!

Even though donations are optional, we encourage everyone to donate to this important cause to change lives in our community. Donations can be given to your homeroom teacher next week from May 19th till Twin Day, May 23rd. So Cougars, we hope you decide to twin with your bestie twin, to support our important cause! After all, we want to make those people with cerebral palsy smile.
