The grass is green, flowers are blooming and the birds are chirping. Those are typically signs of spring. But not here. Not this year.

Two seniors made their college choices official last week during signing ceremonies at Evergreen High School.
Sam Hamilton signed with the University of Denver to play soccer and Colin Elmgreen will take his talents to Nebraska Wesleyan University to play basketball.

LAKEWOOD — A look at the results might suggest a different story, but Evergreen track and field coach Scott Haebe knows better.

CONIFER — Katherine Hardy didn’t want to play a third set. Up in sets 1-0, but facing double set point in a tiebreak of the second set, it looked like she might have to.
Hardy, though, survived the two set points and came back to win the tiebreak 9-7, securing her match 6-2, 7-6 over Conifer’s Kirstin Hafeman in the No. 1 singles battle. The win helped propel the Lady Cougars to the team victory over host Conifer by a score of 6-1 on April 4.
