    COLORADO SPRINGS — Emily Elmgreen was in foul trouble; so was Samantha Kisiel. Not to worry, though: Evergreen had plenty of backup — namely, Annie Trimarco and Hannah Orr.
    Trimarco, a starter, and Orr, back after missing two weeks due to a concussion, scored 12 and 11 points, respectively, to help the fifth-seeded Lady Cougars thwart fourth-seeded Windsor 42-32 on Feb. 28 at Sand Creek High School.

    It’s Feb. 20, and Cassie Troy, a soft-spoken 11-year-old, is watching the Canada-U.S. women’s hockey gold medal game from Sochi. Perhaps one day the Bailey resident, formerly of Evergreen, will be the goaltender for the U.S. women’s team or, maybe, for the Colorado Avalanche.

  • Remote slash-collection sites...

    The Jeffco Sheriff’s Office has announced its three remote slash drop-off dates for this summer. Jeffco again will team with mountain fire departments to host the sites.

    Slash disposal became more of a challenge when the Rooney Road Recycling Center stopped accepting organic material in 2012. Jefferson County has received a grant for an “air curtain” burner for slash, but a location hasn’t been decided yet.

  • Cougars’ best bet denied state...

    BROOMFIELD — It was a confidence boost that Lane Hanson was hoping to build on. His victory over Valor Christian’s Coby Welch a week earlier at the Pre-Regional Rumble was a first for the 113-pound Evergreen junior. It would take a second, this time in the 4A Region 1 consolation semifinals, for Hanson to make it to the state tournament. Unfortunately, it wasn’t to be.

  • Cougars make noise at state

    The Evergreen Cougars might have had a young ski team in 2014, but don’t let that fool you: They’re still pretty good on the slopes. They proved that Feb. 13-14 at the CHSAA state championships at Eldora Mountain Resort in Nederland.
