  • Cougars sweep Conifer, Pomona

    By Craig Harper
    For the Courier
    Rachel Bahl keeps tinkering with Conifer’s lineup in the 200-yard medley relay, searching for the formula that will result in a 4A state-qualifying time.
    The Lady Lobos again came excruciatingly close to reaching the standard at a Jan. 30 triangular with Evergreen and Pomona at the Wulf Recreation Center. Conifer’s time of 2 minutes, 8.72 seconds — good for third place in the race — fell short of the qualifying mark of 2:05.

  • Missed chances, Demons’ size...

    The plan was simple for Evergreen: Stick to the regular game plan and get all the open shots its players could take. That worked as well, if not better, than the Cougars could’ve hoped for in the first three quarters Jan. 29 against Golden.

    Samantha Kisiel knows that Haley Blodgett is the heart of the Golden girls basketball team. So it was up to the 5-foot-11 sophomore to do her best to slow Blodgett down.

    Feb. 2 is Groundhog Day, a day that doesn’t have much significance here, but it does in the northeastern states, especially Pennsylvania, where it started.

  • Elmgreen, Lady Cougars charge...

    Emily Elmgreen wasn’t about to take credit for her career-high 33 points. Instead, the Evergreen senior deferred the accolades to her teammates, who drove the lane before dishing the ball off to her. That’s why she went off for 24 points in the second half in the host Lady Cougars’ 67-45 girls basketball conquest of Conifer on Jan. 24.
    “(They) were cluttering up the defense, and it left me wide open. I had plenty of time” to get her feet set and square up for shots, Elmgreen said.

  • Differentiating between crows,...

    This past week has brought us more spring-like weather with temperatures in the high 50s and the melting of what little snow we had left. Once more, my feeders are deserted by the juncos, which obviously prefer seeds that they can find in the fields to what I offer them at the feeders. They do eat the white proso millet when the fields are covered with snow.
