Where good news shines

Littleton resident Jimmer Fredette is getting his college jersey retired.

BYU will honor Fredette, who was a consensus national player of the year during the 2010-11 season, by raising his No. 32 jersey to the Marriott Center rafters during a game against Colorado in Provo, Utah, on Feb. 14.

Fredette, who makes his home in Colorado, will be the fifth Cougars basketball player to have his jersey retired. He scored 2,599 points and was a three-time first-team All-Mountain West selection at BYU.
