Homecoming Game

On the first Friday of October, our Cougars played a tough football game against the Burgettstown Blue Devils. Lead by coach Rich
Piccinini, the Cougars took a loss of 47-0. Though this news maybe
disappointing, something that might brighten your mood could be
the thought of the 2019 Homecoming King and Queen. 
Those honors go to Dallas Paolino and Maggie Reigle. Congratulations! I would also like to
congratulate the students who were selected for Homecoming court.
Congrats to Nick Cindrich, Erin Fox, Jada Lee, Makayla Linn,
Dakota Mayfield, Ainsley Pearce, Mark Phillips, and Evan Staker.  
Dallas Paolino, our homecoming king, won our team 115 yds, but
sadly no touchdowns. On the defensive side #51, Ben Ray, made 7
solo tackles. Because of these awesome plays, the Devils only had
14 points in the first quarter, 10 in the second, 16 in the third and 7 in the fourth.
To someone who doesn’t understand the sport this would be a very
disappointing loss; football is a back and forth sport, but those of
us who have been watching for the whole fall season know that the
Cougars can and will make a comeback. Spectator Quinland
Delrosario says, “Our team has success within them. They can win,
and will, because they just have that fighting spirit.  Practice makes
success and with a little more practice they will be able to destroy
any team that comes their way. I’m proud to march for our Cougars and I can’t wait for our next
game.  Let’s show them what we’re made of!” So cheer them on for their next game at Brentwood!

Bocce Tournament

Last week, Carlynton hosted a Bocce Tournament between themselves and Baldwin High School. The teams were made up of special education students, as well as additional high school students from their respective schools. For those who don’t know, bocce is an Italian version of bowling, with long, thin courts. The game begins by rolling a small ball, known as a polina , down the court.  Then teams take turns rolling larger balls, trying to be the closest to polina . At the end of a round, the team who rolls the larger balls closest to the polina gains a point of points. The match happened in the gym here at Carlynton during school hours, and students were visibly excited. It made for an exciting but friendly competition. 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...

Anime Club

Carlynton's Anime Club is held in the shop every Tuesday after school. The club has fifteen members, but there are usually comfortably small groups from 4-7 people that attend weekly.  Anime Club leaders would love to welcome new members!  Anime Club votes on a different show to watch each meeting. Members also enjoy practicing their drawing skills during meetings, and sometimes the club even holds drawing contests. The club leaders hope to bring some positive changes to the Anime Club during the winter and spring months of this school year. They intend to watch a greater variety of shows and genres, and have also considered creating a roster of shows to watch over the course of the year.  If you are interested in joining Anime Club , simply show up to the shop on Tuesdays after school and introduce yourself to any of the Club members.  They are often found congregating around the video game console playing Super Smash Brothers.
