• Welcome back to another edition of TETV Morning News. Today is Friday,  September 30th.

• The girls XC team celebrated their second win of the season against JFK of Enfield with a final score of 17 to 46.  Brenna Klaus moved up significantly on the team standings finishing in the top ten as she slashed over a minute off her time from Friday.  Saanvi Nigam and Yuna Kasunic also improved their times by over a minute as they cruised through the finish looking effortless.  Two standout performances were made by Riley Quigley and Hasini Kasam who both took two minutes off their times.  Excellent work, runners!  The cross country teams look forward to their next home meet at Nevers against East Hartford and St. James this Tuesday.  Good luck everyone!

• TE field hockey team lost their home opener to Somers by a score of 4-0. TE's defense was strong throughout the first half but couldn't  keep the ball out of the net in the second half.  TE's strong defense was led by Prithi Suriyakumarr, Ainslee Deptula, Emma Davis, and Emily Carmon.  Tori Yelle and Sarah Bonanno had a couple of strong breakaways but could not find the back of the net.  TE's next game is away verse Suffield.
  

• The TEMS Boys Soccer Team battled the JFK Patriots last night and were able to secure the victory 1-0.  The first half was dominated by the Cougars with Bassel Taleb and Alex Ndiaye both ringing the crossbar.  We continued to press and several players had chances on goal as Chirag Balaji pushed one just wide.  The second half was much of the same with chance after chance not taken. Aiden Matus and Mason Smith did very well as the right and left defenders respectively.  As the Cougars continued to press forward Matias Baidoo went one on one with the keeper several times only to be kept off the scoresheet.  Finally the deadlock was broken as Jack Cinxo buried a ball to the bottom right corner.  Ben Perkins was credited with the assist.  The 1-0 victory got the Cougars over the line as they sit on top of the table with 3 wins on the season.  Cougars next play on Tuesday at East Hartford.

• Welcome back to another edition of TETV Morning News. Today is Thursday,  September 29th.

• The TEMS girls soccer team took home a 3-0 win versus Ellington in their home-opener yesterday afternoon. The game began with a slow start, with both teams getting a few chances on goal in the first half. It wasn't until the second half when the Cougars hit their stride. Gianna DiSalvatore and Shea Brochu dominated and controlled the center of the field with support from Teagan Purcell and Maddie Edwards. In defense, Nora Carty, Allison Marques, Jenna Martin, and Pratheeka Dyava remained composed when handling the Ellington threats. Breaking the deadlock, was Abigail Ambooken who volleyed in a cross from Kylah Wood, which really opened up play for the Cougars. Shortly after, Ambooken returned the favor by swinging in another cross as Wood slotted the ball through the goalie's legs and into the back of the net. Rounding out the score sheet, Teagan Purcell tapped in a cross coming from a corner kick from Kylah Wood who ended the day with one goal and two assists. Outstanding performance was had from Annabel Ambooken who demonstrated heart and hustle which really pushed the team forward. Lastly, goalkeepers Hannah Kowalchik and Olivia Lopez left a crisp clean sheet on the day. The Cougars kick off again this afternoon @ JFK.

• The Timothy Edwards boys soccer team competed last night against the Wildcats of Ellington. It was a hard five game throughout the contest and the score line of 0-0 at half time was justified. In the second half, the Cougars came out ready to fight. They battled for every loose ball and won many challenges in the air. The Wildcats put their best player up top and he was thwarted continuously by Sam Velasquez, Aaron Cherion, and Dalton Crane. Midway through the half, the Cougars gained some momentum and the ensuing corner, Blake Lyons found the back of the net with a blast from 20 yards out. Jack Cinxo was credited with the assist. Both teams kept pressing and though Cougars got the last laugh. Brody Jurczyk secured the 3 points with a shot placed perfectly over the keeper into the back of the net. Final score of 2-0 was spot on. The Cougars next play JFK today after school. Hope to see you at the match.

• Do you know why we had yesterday off? Yesterday and today is Rosh Hashanah, a holiday in the Jewish faith. Literally meaning “Head of the Year,” Rosh Hashanah marks the beginning of the Jewish calendar. It begins a 10-day period of repentance and prayer which ends on Yom Kippur. We celebrate the holiday with services and apples dipped in honey to symbolize the hope for a sweet year to come.

• The wind was fierce over at Nevers Park Friday night, but not as fierce as the girls cross country team. The Cougars out ran Suffield winning their first meet of the season with a final score of 19 to 38.  Rachel Matyschsyk won the race of 43 athletes with a strong lead over the opponent.  Sixth graders Jana Brownbill, Greta Johnson, and Julia Attenello all broke into the top ten for their first ever middle school meet.  Ria Bhatia had grit and determination as she dug deep during the final stretch of the race and pushed it all the way to the finish.  Another strong finish was made by birthday girl Dharshana Bhuvana as she crossed the finish a fraction of a second faster than a Suffield runner.  Although injured, Haily Velasquez and Aleks Gogic stayed positive and showed solidarity as they cheered for their teammates from the sidelines.  Thank you to team managers Emily Attenello and Anna Fetzko for helping at the finish line and supporting the team.  The Cougars look forward to their next home meet at Nevers this Thursday against Enfield.  Good luck, runners!
  

• The boys' cross country team hosted Suffield on Friday, September 23rd. It was a good day to run, but Suffield came out strong taking the first five spots from TE and winning the meet. TE's top five runners were Akilan Anand, Gavin Lippi, Karthik Srikumar, Erik Edstrom, and the top runner from the meet, coming in sixth, was Jeffery Zeng with a time of 16:24. Congrats to the entire team and good luck on Thursday.

• Welcome back to another edition of TETV Morning News. Today is Thursday,  September 22nd.

• Last night the TEMS Boys Soccer team played host to the Illing Rams in the first of many CRAL battles this season.  It was a highly contested match throughout with both teams fighting to the end.  The first half was favorable for the Cougars as they jumped out to a 1-0 lead courtesy of a headed corner by Ben Perkins.  The service from Brody Jurczyk was delightful and Perkins made no mistake putting the Cougars up one at the break.  The second half was much of the same...meaning the Cougars controlled most of the possession but couldn't add to their tally.  Fran Linares gets credit for the shutout and the Cougars are now 1 and 0 on the season.  TE travels to Suffield today for the first time in the school's history.  Good luck boys.

• The lady Cougars kicked off against the Illing Rams yesterday afternoon in their first game of the season and came back with a dominant 7-1 victory. The girls had a slow start, but were eventually able to find the net after 15 minutes of the first half. Once the scoring started, it didn't stop. Alina Zajac, Aleksa Zajac, and Kylah Wood each tallied 2 goals on the day, along with Abigail Ambooken who found the back of the net late in the 2nd half. Assists were well distributed from Lilly Jaworski, Allison Marques, Kylah Wood, and Aleska Zajac. Lastly, strong defensive efforts were had by Nora Carty, Julia Thorne, and Kinsley Wood. The girls look forward to their home opener this afternoon in Cougar Stadium against Suffield.
