  • Rally comes Jess in time

    ENGLEWOOD ee" Cody Jess doesn’t think of himself as hitting at the bottom of the Evergreen batting order.

    The reality, however, is that the No. 9 hitter propped up an Evergreen lineup April 14 that was in danger of falling over on itself at Harry Wise Field.

    Jess, a sophomore center fielder, was 4-for-4 at the plate and delivered a one-out, game-tying single in the top of the seventh inning and would score later as the Cougars rallied for a 10-8 Class 4A Jefferson County League victory over the Englewood Pirates.

  • Demons live up to their name

    ARVADA — The Evergreen Cougars expected to get hit at least once by the talented Golden Demons.

    That, the Cougars hoped, was something they could handle.

    What Evergreen coach Whitney Walker didn’t expect April 16 was the referees to take a few of their own shots.

    Although the No.5-ranked Demons were the better side in terms of talent on the pitch, they defeated the Cougars 5-2 thanks to two penalty kicks, two free kicks right outside the penalty area and a corner kick.

  • Evergreen drops mighty Arapahoe

    LITTLETON — Seeing that the Evergreen Cougars beat the Arapahoe Warriors in lacrosse would cause most fans to do a double take.

    After all, the Warriors are the No. 1-ranked team in the state in class 5A and the Cougars were 3-5 in class 4A heading into Monday’s game.

    But the Cougars didn’t get the top Warriors squad as they traveled to Littleton. Instead they battled Arapahoe’s Varsity II squad and beat them soundly 8-2 on April 19 at Powell Middle School.

    “When we got there, there was smoke coming from the eaves,” Dejong said. “It was pushing out pretty good.”
