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.

Driving along the canyon road between Evergreen and Morrison the other day, it was a pleasure to see a belted kingfisher rattling his way along Bear Creek. They are such predictable birds. You can almost always find a kingfisher in the same places you have seen them before.

LAKEWOOD — It developed innocently enough, but by the time the ball was in the back of the net the Evergreen Cougars’ boys soccer team had scored the “best goal all year,” according to head coach Peter Jeans in a 2-0 win over Green Mountain on Oct. 10 at Lakewood Memorial Field.
