Terry Hensley has been coaching baseball a long time.

Twenty-seven years, in fact.

Safe to say, he’s seen a lot of games. Some good, some bad.

Evergreen’s game against Castle View on March 19 at Coors Field has vaulted close to the top of his favorites list.

In that game, the Cougars were down 3-0 in the sixth inning but rallied to win 4-3 on a sun-soaked March afternoon.

While I was visiting Bosque del Apache, an exceptionally fine photograph of a northern goshawk was printed in the Community Eye feature of the Canyon Courier. It was taken by Richard Gristak on Bear Mountain. I was pleased to see this beautiful bird’s photo for two reasons: one, because I have not seen a goshawk in the area for some time, and secondly, because I had been wondering what hawk was making the birds at my feeder so antsy.

Though everyone knows that soccer is played on grass, on a chilly, early spring night in Evergreen, the Lady Lions of Littleton put the Evergreen Cougars’ soccer team on ice.

After scoring a pair of goals just days earlier against St. Mary’s Academy, the Cougars were held scoreless against the Class 5A Continental League Lions, who managed just one goal of their own to nab the 1-0 victory.

The Evergreen girls tennis team had a successful 2008 campaign, sending 5 girls - all seniors - to state.

Coach Radka Lacjak, who is a full-time tennis professional at Mount Vernon Country Club, began working with several girls over the winter and according to the coach, their hard work is paying off.
