LAKEWOOD — Are there any plays more dramatic in basketball than a buzzer-beater? Like mid-court buzzer-beating 3-pointers that gives a team its first lead of the game, such as the one Evergreen senior Colin Elmgreen made as the clock ran out in the first half of the finals of the Paul Davis Classic  on Dec. 8 at Green Mountain High School.

DENVER — Freshman Samantha Kisiel scored a team-high 13 points, while senior Blair Bokelman scored 12 on 6-of-10 shooting as Evergreen won its first game of the season 47-31 over host Montbello on Dec. 1.
Kisiel added 14 rebounds.
The win was the first for head coach Amy Mohr, who took over this season.
Evergreen held the Lady Warriors without a field goal in the first quarter to take an early 8-1 lead. The advantage was 21-13 at halftime and 33-23 after three quarters.

You never want to call a race too early, especially if there’s a chance you could be wrong. But sometimes you know pretty quickly that it’s over. That was the case in the 200-yard freestyle relay Nov. 30 at the Wulf Recreation Center for the Evergreen girls ‘A’ team.

When Evergreen head boys basketball coach Scott Haebe sees Colin Elmgreen out on the floor he sees a little of himself. Maybe not so much literally, but figuratively.
Elmgreen, as Evergreen’s point guard, has to be that captain every time the Cougars run up and down the court and Haebe knows that. He is the catalyst who makes Evergreen’s offense run.
