    Toby Plank, who came to Evergreen as an assistant coach for the varsity boys lacrosse team and later coached four seasons as the head coach of the varsity team, has been named the recipient of the 2010 Gerald J. Carroll Award, presented by US Lacrosse.

    The award was created in memory of Coach Carroll in 1994. It honors annually a high school coach “whose success is best measured not in victories but in the support and guidance given to the balanced growth and development of young men who play the game,” Steven Berger, men’s game manager for US Lacrosse.

  • Evergreen’s shooting sinks...

    CONIFER — Scott Haebe, prior to Evergreen’s rivalry game with Conifer on Jan. 7, thought the Cougars’ 3-point shooting would be a strength. But it hadn’t played out that way to start the season.

    It certainly did against the host Lobos, though.

    Evergreen hit four 3-pointers in the first quarter and three in the first four minutes as the Cougars opened up a 13-point lead and never looked back in a 51-38 win at Conifer High School.

  • Gorrell, Lobos will way to...

    CONIFER — Alison Gorrell wanted it. At least that’s what the public address announcer at Conifer High School unequivocally stated as the clock was winding down in the fourth quarter of the Lady Lobos’ rivalry game with Evergreen on Jan. 7.

    And, he ever right.

  • Starlings are more interesting...

    Nearly every winter just after a snow storm, people call me to ask about a beautiful bird at their feeder. It is described in several ways, but usually along the lines that it is mostly black with a lot of purple and green on it, and its whole body is spattered with white stars. When I tell them it sounds like a starling, almost without exception, they reply, “Why, no, it’s not a starling. It’s beautiful.”

  • Cold weather brings out unusual...

    As the holidays finally came to a close, a brief winter storm left about five inches of snow on the ground around the yard. It also brought bitter cold weather with temperatures way below zero.
    However, this is not surprising since January is usually our coldest month. Winter is here. It is the one month that I would gladly leave this area for someplace warmer.

  • Dawg Nation persevering in...

    Martin Richardson considers himself a glass half-full kind of guy. But even the heartiest of person would have a hard time dealing with the heartbreak that has surrounded the Dawg Nation the past couple of years.

    “It’s been a crazy tough year for all of us,” said Richardson, the founder and president of the Dawg Nation. “But the silver lining is what we’ve done with it. Instead of moping we’ve started our own foundation. It’s a real silver lining.”

    Winter seems to have settled in with a fairly stable blanket of white. However, it is not too deep for walking in most of our area, and all but the back roads are fairly passable. This makes it possible for most anyone to get out to see what winter has in store.
