    Jocelyn Rowley, [email protected]|Jan 18, 2019

    The Niwot boys basketball fell to 7-5 on the year after a promising start to the week ended in back-to-back blowout losses at the hands of conference foes Thompson Valley and Longmont. On Jan. 8, the Cougars opened Northern League play with a 66-50 win over Northridge, extending their winning streak to four games. Senior Tommy Bounds had a season-high 21 points on the night, while senior Dom Luthens was had 16 rebounds. The Cougars were uncharacteristically flat the next night, and struggled...

    Jocelyn Rowley|Jan 18, 2019

    It would be easier to list the team sports that Niwot power forward Bitzy Archibald hasn’t tried at some point in her life, but the senior said she’s really a “pretty big nerd” at heart. “I think people picture a jock, but I’m always reading in the locker room,” she said. Archibald is a fan of sci-fi and thrillers, and recently completed “We Know It Was You” by Maggie Thrash. “I get a lot of jokes about that from the team.” What isn’t getting any jokes is Archibald’s play on the basketball court...

Organizers of Keep Heatherwood Frack-Free said they have been working to create a group that is more inclusive of Boulder County in general to address...

    New hands have taken over Niwot Massage, and the new owner is serious about rejuvenating--both bodies and the business. Laura Graziano might seem a familiar face to Niwot residents. She worked at Colterra for five years before the restaurant was closed due to a kitchen fire in October 2017. A Licensed Massage Therapist for the past two years, Graziano was building a private practice in south Boulder when the opportunity to take over Niwot Massage became available to her. The former owner of...

  • Niwot girls fall to Longmont in overtime

    Jocelyn Rowley, [email protected]|Jan 18, 2019

    Niwot head basketball coach Terri Ward was visibly frustrated after her team’s single-point defeat by cross-town rival Longmont on Jan. 11. Up by double-digits late in the third quarter, the Cougars and their normally trustworthy defense yielded 13 straight points to the Trojans, turning what should have been a blowout win in regulation into a 47-46 heartbreaker in overtime. Afterwards, Ward said a shortage of “basketball IQ” played a role in their failure to hold the lead. “It’s hard when you...
