  • 2012: The year in review

With that said, the High Timber Times looks back at 10 stories that made headlines in the past 12 months.

  • Patience pays off as Lobos top...

    It would’ve been easy for the Conifer Lady Lobos to abandon their game plan and try another approach Dec. 14 against visiting Valor Christian. After all, the Lady Eagles had opened up a 10-point cushion early in the second quarter.
    But that’s not Conifer’s style. Not this year’s team anyway.

  • Pond withstands injury, shows...

    EVERGREEN — Cody Pond had just wrestled and pulled on a T-shirt when he was asked to push it back up. A bag of ice was placed over his chest, where he had torn cartilage just days earlier.

  • Mahonia can be put into fresh...

    It has been a sunny day but considerably colder than it has been. I assume that means the cold front is moving in and temperatures will be more what we normally expect in December.

  • Pinfalls come early, often for...

    Pinfall after pinfall — all early — only proved the point. Conifer’s home dual with Alameda on Dec. 6 wasn’t exactly wrestling at its best. Far from it. It was, however, a clinic in what not to do when you’re giving up the experience factor.

  • Huskies can’t keep pace with CA

    By Will Petersen
    For the Times
    DENVER — Everybody makes a run at some point. Whether it’s the pros, college or high school, it’s well-documented that basketball games are played in spurts. The key is maintaining the momentum after reeling off a string of points.
    Unfortunately, Platte Canyon couldn’t do that Dec. 5 at Colorado Academy. The Huskies used a second-quarter burst to get back in the game, before losing to the host Mustangs 67-39.
