Here are the top stories today in Lakewood:

  1. Green Mountain girls basketball remain undefeated. The Rams have a perfect 16-0 so far this season after a 69-39 blowout win over Lakewood High School on Monday night. (TBD)
  2. National Brotherhood of Skiers attracts more Black skiers and snowboarders. The NBS' mission is to develop and support athletes of color in winter sports and they're going old school this year in Steamboat. (Patch)
  3. It's that time of the year to get a box of Girl Scout cookies or 10. Here's how and where to order. There's even a new cookie this year and this year, you can shop for the tasty bites online too. The bad part? Like everything else, prices have gone up a little bit. (5280)
  4. Wastewater tested to track COVID-19 trends. Last Friday the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention began including information for tracking COVID-19 in wastewater in Colorado as a way to anticipate virus spikes. (Patch)
  5. Mayor Coffman proposes new version of camping ban for Aurora. The mayor said the new proposal is different because it takes away penalties that critics claimed criminalized homelessness. The proposal will go before the city council during a study session this week and may be considered by the council as early as Feb. 14. (FOX31)
