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!

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 and 0-30 in the second quarter; however, in the third quarter the Carlynton Cougars got their 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 season.  Next game for the Middle School Cougars is 9/26.

Homecoming Dance

Homecoming is something many people look forward to during their high school years. For the Sophomores, it's one of the first traditional dances they’re invited to. For Juniors, it's a celebration of growing up, a right of passage. And for Seniors, it's one of the last big dances they attend before graduation, and a chance to run for Homecoming King or Queen. Homecoming court always creates a stir among students, be it underclassmen wondering which running seniors will win titles, or hopeful voters eager to see if their favorite candidate will be crowned King or Queen.  This year, however, Homecoming elections sparked a very different conversation among students. Initially scheduled for  Friday's pep rally, the heavily anticipated  announcements of King and Queen were postponed until the Homecoming football game at the last minute. Mr. Loughren teased students on stage with an envelope holding the King and Queen winners, building suspense before announcing...

CIS Chemistry Field Trip

On December 11, the 11th grade CIS (College In High School) Chemistry class went to Robert Morris University to survey the campus and conduct experiments in the Science Wing.  During the experiment, students mixed various liquids to determine their concentrations and potency, as well as how the liquids reflect blue light. As they measured the liquids, the students learned how to use different measurement tools, such as a “ repeater pipette”. The repeater pipette allows one to measure a certain amount of liquid by turning the dial to the desired number, then pressing the button until all of the liquid is inside the repeater pipette.  Afterwards, the button is pressed again to release the liquid. Since the CIS Chemistry students are currently  working on their midterm in the lab, one student stated, “It was a nice change of pace to try a different experiment, since we’ve been focused on getting the results we need back at Carlynton.”  I hope that t...
