hours of watchful experimentation and practice and dealt with the
rescheduling headaches that ensued. Mrs. Bulera, science teacher, also earned a big thank you for
all her time and effort with the students in preparing them for the competition! Another

the Cougars cut the deficit to 2 points going into the final period of play.

for 10 points and leading the Cougars to a 20-12 victory. Lauren Padalino ended the game with 14 points while Gabrielle Zernich had 4 and Emma Cullo
scored 2. Athletic Association Raffle Congratulations
