  • The Year in Review

    Both the Evergreen boys and girls basketball teams made some noise at the state tournament, as did the girls soccer program. Madison Tenney just missed a top-20 finish in girls golf and the EHS boys tennis team sent two doubles squads to state. And those were some of the stories that didn’t make the list. The Canyon Courier looks back at 10 stories that highlighted the year of 2013.

    Green is not a color you expect to see this time of year when you look out the window. Ponderosa pines are nearly totally dormant and give an appearance of being black when seen against the snow.

  • Cardinals’ long-range shooting...

    By Tim Donohoo
    For the Courier
    Make no mistake about it. Entering Evergreen’s boys basketball clash with Elizabeth on Dec. 19, Cougars head coach Scott Haebe knew it was going to be a battle. The Cardinals like to launch shots from beyond the arc, and they did at will.
    Seven shots from long distance found the bottom of the net and Evergreen now sits with a 2-5 record going into the holiday break. In all, four Elizabeth players hit for double figures in the 75-64 road win at Evergreen High School.

  • Cougars’ Hanson finding groove

    SHERIDAN — There wasn’t much else Lane Hanson could do but sit around and watch the other wrestlers compete. The Evergreen junior 113-pounder had two early byes at the 10th annual Sheridan Pool Tournament on Dec. 21. So he made the most of his time as best as he could.
    “I tried to watch the other wrestlers as much as I can to get an advantage on my opponents. I’d think of wrestling, think of moves that I’m going to use,” Hanson said.
    It didn’t hurt that he had an extra set of eyes helping him out.

    "Another crow! There’s too many to count,” Hannah Crangle said while gazing into the wintry sky on Saturday morning.

    Hannah was the lone but enthusiastic participant in Evergreen Audubon’s first Kids Bird Count. Surrounded by Audubon members, the young girl was checking out the area around Kittredge Community Park with an experienced eye.

    Hannah has a family history of birding. Her great-grandmother is Louise Mounsey, who founded Evergreen Audubon with Sylvia Brockner, the longtime nature writer for the Canyon Courier.
