Homecoming

During a sunny Saturday on October 15^th, 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.

The NCCS girls‘ varsity soccer team started their season off with an easy victory over the Sacred Heart 8
Our second game was against the New Canaan High School freshman team. It was a heartbreaking 0-2 loss. However, the girls‘ varsity field hockey team and the boys varsity football team came to watch us during the second half—their cheers and support boosted our spirits and made us play even harder. It was a sad game to lose, but the hard-working and exciting second half made the loss easier to take.
The soccer team‘s latest game was against the Harvey School. We tied them 0-0, with approximately 70 shots on the Harvey net. The only thing that kept them in the game was their goalie; we outran, out shot, and out played them the entire game. Hopefully, we‘ll have a chance to play them again, and next time we‘ll take them down. In the meantime, we‘ll be crushing all of our other opponents. th grade team. The camaraderie on the Country School team was evident, even though this was only our first official game of the season. We supported each other, spread out, passed, and congratulated those who scored. By the end of the game, I already knew that this season was going to be fun.
