  • Answers complex about why fewer...

    Many readers of this column have asked me recently if something has happened to the birds that reduced their numbers because they have had fewer birds at their feeders than usual.

    I scratched my head to know how to answer their questions because this is a very involved question that takes more space than I can use every week, and few people are concerned enough to get that involved.

  • Molleur stays near the front,...

    LAKEWOOD — Maybe Collin Molleur wasn’t giving himself enough credit, but the Evergreen sprinter certainly had fun running against Cherokee Trail’s Brandon Singleton at the Pomona Invitational on April 12.
    “I knew that kid on the inside lane was really, really fast. I knew that he was going to go out really fast. I just tried staying with him, and it got me into second,” Molleur said.

  • Experience pays off for Conifer

    By Craig Harper
    For the Courier
    Maddie Yerks was the lone returning Conifer player who tasted victory in last year’s tennis dual meet with Evergreen, participating in a doubles win late in the Lady Cougars’ 6-1 romp. So it was fitting that her victory in No. 3 doubles sealed the Lady Lobos’ 4-3 triumph on April 9 at Evergreen High School.

  • Victory slips out of Evergreen’s...

    Josh Bellatti never felt that Evergreen had the game in hand, and Wheat Ridge made sure that was the case in the seventh inning.

  • Cougars fire on all cylinders in...

    By Craig Harper, For the Courier

    Cancel the MIA alert for Evergreen’s offense.

    First-year boys lacrosse coach Toby Gerard wasn’t in panic mode prior to the home April 5 non-league matchup with Air Academy. But there was genuine concern as the Cougars had scored just 14 goals in the previous four games, including a 17-0 shutout by Wheat Ridge three days earlier. Half of those goals came against Clear Creek, a second-year varsity program, in the lone win during that stretch.

  • Summer birds making their way...

    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.
