The grass is green, flowers are blooming and the birds are chirping. Those are typically signs of spring. But not here. Not this year.
Old Man Winter’s unwelcome return in recent weeks has played havoc with the high school sports schedule. Events have either been outright canceled or postponed multiple times. It’s causing a logistical nightmare for athletic directors to reschedule events for later in the season.

BASEBALL
Engelhart’s pitching, hot bats help Evergreen slam Alameda
Josh Bellatti went 2-for-3 with three RBIs and Daniel Gibbins went 2-for-3 with a double and two runs driven in as Evergreen rolled to an 11-1 victory over Alameda on April 13.
The game was called in the fifth inning due to the 10-run mercy rule.
Evergreen belted out 10 hits, including two from Jake Englehart. Ryan Hays scored three runs.

CONIFER — Conifer boys lacrosse head coach Tyler Knauer has been waiting a long time to taking a win from Evergreen. He doesn’t have to wait any longer.
A Conifer team that had lost seven straight and never beaten Evergreen came out with nothing to lose April 12 at Lobo Field. Behind the scoring of Connor Rankin and Blake Bannon, who combined for seven goals, Conifer posted a 12-7 win over rival Evergreen. It was as sweet a victory as a team could have, considering the Lobos are just 2-8 this season.

LAKEWOOD — Zoe Peterson knew how important the goal would be.
After all, the Evergreen Lady Cougars were just 2-3, but a win over D’Evelyn on April 5 at Lakewood Memorial Field would do more than bring her team back to .500. It hopefully would go a long way in determining the pecking order in the 4A Jeffco League.
