Carlynton Middle School Football

On September 19th, the Carlynton Cougars played Keystone Oaks’ Golden Eagles.

This game was one of the early games in the season. The score in the first quarter was 0-14

first touchdown, making the score 6-30 at the end of the third quarter. The fourth quarter saw

another touchdown, bringing the final score to 14-30. One of the Cougars remarked that

they’d also lost to K.O. during their pre-season scrimmage, but they hope to improve over the

Mrs. Chenette also brought the girls ensemble to sing the national anthem as the opening for the event. I spoke with James Lukaszewicz during the event, and he thought it was a great experience. He got involved because he enjoys working with students fr...

Determining what you do not know is a vital part of studying. I find the most successful way to determine what you do not know is by attempting to complete a study guide or practice test without looking up questions.

Occasionally, you may benefit from solving questions in the textbook or from online. It is common to do poorly on this initial assessment, but by observing what questions you get w...
