On Wednesday, April 25, it was a beautiful day for tennis as our TCS Cougars faced several top players from our Conference. In approximately 120ºF under the direct sun our first “warrior” was Ben Platnick. His opponent arrived looking like Goran Ivanišević had just returned to pro tennis, only a few inches taller. One bystander mentioned “I had no idea that high schooler’s can grow that tall”. Ben did not fear him though. In his first singles match ever he was ahead several times. It was David versus Goliath and although David did...

Braves Win…Braves Win…Braves Win…………………………………………Braves Win. That was the call by legendary Braves announcer, the late Skip Carey as Sid Bream slid under the tag of Pittsburgh Pirate catcher Mike LaValliere to win the 1991 National League pennant. The improbable worst to first scenario propelled the Braves to an incredible 14 straight National Leagues Pennants, 5 World Series appearances and 1 World Series Championship. The reason this happened was what went on the year before. Bobby Cox was named...

What a great day for baseball! On Thursday, April 11, the game started off against the Mill Springs Mustangs with Ray O’Brien taking to the hill for another start. Determined to be the leader of the team, Ray persevered and, with the aid of two sparkling defensive plays by Daniel Felner, coupled with a strike out, the Cougars were able to get out of the inning by only surrendering four runs. The bottom of the first inning saw us unable to break out the war clubs and went down 1-2-3. The top of the second inning saw Ray starting to find...

Citi us, altius, fortius. Indeed. The calloused Cougars felt little of the chill yesterday in defeating all-comers in the Mill Springs meeting of athletes. While others complained of coldness, our stalwart Spartans were imperturbable.

If you missed Friday’s game, you missed quite a bit. Eighth grader Tyler Kimbal got his first start as a pitcher and did a good job striking out three batters. Timely hitting and errors however made Tyler’s first start a short one. The bottom of the first inning saw history made. Jacob Cohen led off the inning with a beautiful bunt but was thrown out pitcher to first. Jake Daunt then got on base with an error by the short stop. Kia Smith then came up to bat, and on the fourth pitch he propelled a prodigiously powered pellet plummeting...

Our TCS golf team played its first match of the season yesterday against Howard at Charlie Yates golf course. It should be noted that this was the first real golf match that either of our new golfers have ever played. This was not apparent based on the poise and maturity with which are young athletes performed. It should also be noted that golf is a game played primarily versus oneself. This being said, both of our golfers came away with a big win yesterday! Morgan Carrig began her around with a bogey and a double bogey, on #1 and #2, and...

Yesterday the MS track team had a running event only meet at Mill Springs. There were about 14 schools from all over the place. There had to have been about 250-300 kids running around. With the wind against them and waiting in line to run each event, our MS Cougars made it fun and had a good day. It began with the Girls and Boys 3000M. Claire Wylie ran strong for her team but had a shoelace come undone that slowed her pace after just the second lap. As tough as Claire is mentally she battled through it and finished with a 15:37 time. Andrew...
