DENVER — It was billed as the rematch and a chance for the Evergreen boys basketball team to stake its claim as an equal with D’Evelyn atop the 4A Jeffco League.
Unfortunately for the Cougars, that didn’t happen. Evergreen lost 72-45 at D’Evelyn on  Feb 8 and fell to 8-2 in league play while the Jaguars remained perfect, moving to 10-0.

Sam Skold went to watch an indoor track meet at the Air Force Academy a couple of years ago. Seeing cadets in uniform, displaying their dedication and loyalty left a lasting impression. Ever since Air Force has been on her mind, Skold said.
“Ever since I was little I wanted to do something greater than myself. Now, given the opportunity to run for the Air Force Academy gave me the right push to go into the military,” Skold said.

Several people spotted K-Fed at Evergreen Lake House on Feb. 9 at the Rail Jam competition. No, not Britney Spears’ ex-husband, but the freestyle snowboard trick also known as a frontside switch-up to a 270 backside out.
Still confused? Yeah, the average skier or snowboarder might not understand the lingo, but at the Rail Jam competition, which capped off the final day of the second-annual Winter Festival, spectators didn’t have to know what the tricks were called to know they were wickedly cool.

 A long-time summer resident recently asked by writing to me via the High Timber Times if I would write an article on how she could attract birds to the yard of her summer cabin near Hangen Ranch.

This is a subject that can’t be properly covered in an article of the usual length for it must cover feeding supplemental food, and planting native shrubs and non-native shrubs that will bear food that attracts birds. She does not say what her property is like: open, forested or creekside, or whether she has a flower or vegetable garden.
