    LITTLETON — One question will never be answered: How good would Dakota Ridge’s girls basketball team be if Diane Thompson stepped in as head coach a few years ago?

    “Effective” would be a better word choice to depict Orr’s 3-pointers that came in bunches Feb. 17 in the Cougars’ 58-46 victory against D’Evelyn. Orr, with her long-distance launch from the side of her head instead of over her head, drained four 3-pointers to help Evergreen (20-3 record) to the Class 4A Jeffco League crossover divisional game against the Jaguars (14-9).
