Homecoming

During a sunny Saturday on October 15th, New Canaan Country School had its first homecoming thanks to CJ Y. and Olivia C. who brought this idea to Mr. Bazemore at the end of last year. The day started with a varsity soccer game vs. the French American School of NY. The second game was varsity football vs. Long Island Lutheran and the day finished off with a varsity field hockey game vs. Choate.
Varsity soccer started off the day with an early morning game. Goals were scored by Andrew E., Kyle D. and Samuel P. The game went back and forth, but in the end, French American pulled out with the win. They played a well-fought game that ended with NCCS scoring three and French American scoring four goals.
During the second game, NCCS played Long Island Lutheran. This game was very exciting as it came right down to the wire. At the beginning of the game, the Cougars were trailing 6-0, but they marched down the field and evened the score at 6 all. Lutheran struck again and NCCS scored again. It was late in the game and Lutheran was driving; NCCS had a lot of momentum going into the end of the fourth quarter. With great coverage by CJ Y. and Sean M., CJ Y. came up with the interception for a touchdown that sealed the victory for the Cougars. 
Varsity field hockey won 3-0 vs. Choate. Varsity field hockey fought hard and came through with the win. Emma S., Juli S., and Olivia C. scored for the Cougars.
