After losing three of their first five Jeffco league games, the Dakota Ridge girls basketball team entered last week’s two-game homestand needing to win both games to get back in the race. Mission accomplished.

After beating Pomona 47-29 on Jan. 26, the Eagles overcame an early eight-point deficit to defeat Standley lake 58-46 three days later.

“These wins are really important,” Dakota Ridge sophomore Kylie Morris said.

With his team down 2-1 at the first intermission, Columbine assistant coach Brent Bohn told his team what the outcome would be.

“I just reminded these guys to keep their composure, work on penalties and stay out of the box… I told them if they did they’d win this game, I told them it would be a 4-3 final score and that’s what it ended up being,” Bohn said.

  Two teens are accused of stealing electronic devices and other items Jan. 21 from at least seven unlocked cars in the Friendly Hills area.

The pair were arrested at 1:30 a.m. that day. They face felony charges punishable by thousands of dollars in fines and possible prison time.

  The U.S. Census Bureau is counting on you.

At the beginning of each decade, the U.S. government surveys the American population to count how many people are living in the United States.

The census day is April 1, 2010. 

The questionnaires will be mailed out in mid-March. The census bureau recently initiated an advertising campaign to educate citizens about the census and encourage people to fill out the 10-question form and mail it back to the bureau.
