LAKEWOOD — Colleen Canty was on a mission early in Conifer’s grudge match against Evergreen.

The junior was knifing between defenders and was pushing the pace, keeping the Lobos on the attack, which resulted in a quick shot on goal by Bronny Freitag.

The scoring chance, which came in the opening two minutes, was one of the lone bright spots to come out of a 7-0 defeat at the hands of the Cougars on April 22 at Lakewood Memorial Field.

Wheat Ridge — For three innings, the eighth-ranked Evergreen Cougars had No. 1 Wheat Ridge looking pretty pedestrian on April 20.

The Cougars scored in every inning and were up 4-0 thanks largely to a two-run double by Ethan Murphy and some solid small ball. But with a dream upset starting to materialize, the Cougars found themselves taken out to the proverbial woodshed in the top of the fourth.

If you were driving up Squaw Pass Road recently and nearly had an accident because you thought you saw three swans on the second pond in Noble Meadow, have no fear: You are not flipping out. There really are three swans on the pond.

ARVADA — Whiff.

That pretty much sums up Evergreen’s 1-0 cross-classification defeat April 10 to the Pomona Panthers. The Cougars shot and shot and shot the ball but put just four tries – all of them pretty easy – on frame at the North Area Athletic Complex.

“We just couldn’t finish,” junior co-captain Anya Kaufmann said.

“Sometimes you can’t hit the broad side of a barn,” coach Whitney Walker said.
