Once more, while spring hesitated in the doorway, winter pushed her aside and came back in.

Cold and snowy would best describe most of last week’s weather, but it could have been much worse. Since the temperature hovered around freezing, at least some of the snow fell as rain. Today, the sun is back and between the snow drifts, brown squiggly earth makes fancy patterns on the mountains.

Cougars split pair during spring break trip to Arizona
Evergreen scored four runs in the second inning before rallying to break a 6-all tie in the bottom of the sixth for a 7-6 win over Mingus  High School of Cottonwood, Ariz., in the first of two games during a spring break competition in Arizona on March 25.
A day later, Evergreen dropped a 6-3 decision to Palm Springs, Calif., High School. Julian Gonzalez went 4-for-4 with a run driven in for Palm Springs.

I started this article four days ago. It was the vernal equinox, and the day was balmy and sunny. Since then, we have had new snow. It is cold, and winter has returned with just enough snow to make everything white and sparkly in the morning sunlight.

Six-run fifth inning helps Evergreen topple Westminster
WESTMINSTER — Evergreen blew the game open with a six-run fifth inning and the visiting Cougars knocked off Westminster 10-0 on March 19.
The game was called after six innings due to the 10-run mercy rule.
The Cougars held the host Wolves to just one hit, a single by senior Garrett Smith.
Evergreen was to have played Eaglecrest in a non-conference game March 22 at Coors Field, but the game was postponed due to inclement weather until April 12.
