Junior QB Curtis throws for 4 TDs in Cougars’ win over Demons
Junior quarterback Jack Curtis completed 11-of-16 passes for 260 yards and four touchdowns — two of them to former starting quarterback John Cassell — as Evergreen upended Glenwood Springs, 38-32, on Oct. 19 at Evergreen High School.
Ryan Hays caught six passes for 167 yards and a score, while Marcus Cassin and Connor Kissler also had touchdowns for the Cougars (4-4).

They’re identical twins born just a minute apart who moved to Evergreen from their native London, England, by way of Florida, when they were 6 years old.
Ethan and Matthew Jackson have that British accent, too, that draws the attention of teenage girls as much as they use it on the playing surface to mentally focus themselves on the task at hand. And they’re not above using it when arguing with a family member.
But what makes the dark-haired brothers stand out more than anything else is their play on a soccer field.

 Many people who visit Evergreen Christian Outreach for assistance are unemployed. To offer clients a long-term solution and help them get back on their feet, the outreach organization started a jobs center this past spring.

Evergreen resident Bill Braun is working with others to enhance services offered at the center and to increase opportunities for job seekers.

“You have to do something to help them achieve self-sufficiency,” said Braun. 

 With more people coming through the doors getting food, the inventory at the Evergreen Christian Outreach food bank is becoming sparse.

Only three cans of chicken noodle soup remained in the canned-goods section last week.

“When we’re out of chicken noodle soup, we’re in big trouble,” said Liz Hawkins of EChO.

During the season between summer and winter, donations slow, said food bank manager Jim Shelton.

“Right now, we need everything,” he said.
