    The brackets for the Class 5A and 4A boys and girls basketball state tournaments were released on Sunday.

    Overland, Regis Jesuit, Eaglecrest and ThunderRidge each earned No. 1 seeds in the 5A boys tournament. Each of those teams, save for Eaglecrest, were ranked No. 1 in CHSAANow.com’s poll at some point this season.

    No. 2 seeds in 5A boys include Mountain Vista, Legend, Dakota Ridge and Rangeview.

    The Continental League, viewed by many as the toughest in the state, ended up with six teams getting first-round byes, including No. 3 seeds Chaparral and Rock Canyon. The other No. 3s are Fort Collins and George Washington.

    Also getting byes in the first round were No. 4 seeds Cherokee Trail, Rampart, Grand Junction and Fossil Ridge.

    Defending champion Denver East drew a No. 6 seed, and opens at home against No. 11 Fairview.

    Also receiving first round byes are No. 3 seeds Grand Junction, Ralston Valley, Grandview and Denver East; as well as No. 4 seeds Legacy, Westminster, Pine Creek and Fossil Ridge.

    Two-time defending 5A champion Regis Jesuit is a No. 6 seed, and plays No. 11 Pomona in the first round.

    In 4A girls, Canon City, Pueblo West, D’Evelyn and Holy Family were the No. 1 seeds. The No. 2s are Pueblo South, Palisade, Sand Creek and Valor Christian.

    Defending champion Mesa Ridge is a No. 5 seed and will play No. 4 Silver Creek to open the tournament.

    The 4A boys field is led by No. 1 seeds Longmont, Golden, Holy Family and Denver South.

    Valor Christian, Air Academy, Sierra and Pueblo West are No. 2 seeds.

    There are three new teams in the Class 4A girls basketball rankings this week.

    All five No. 1 teams stayed the same this week: ThunderRidge (5A), Canon City (4A), Sterling (3A), Peyton (2A) and Kit Carson (1A).

    The rankings, voted upon by coaches and select media members, are the official polls of the Association. These will be the final polls of the regular season.

  • Cañon City girls basketball beats Mesa Ridge in 4A top-10 matchup

    CAÑON CITY — Jeff Beatty predicted a good chunk of Tuesday’s game.

    The Mesa Ridge coach knew that second-ranked Canon City would shoot the ball well.

    And he knew that if the Tigers tried to play man defense on his star player, Kylee Shook, that she’d have a big game.

    He didn’t see the drubbing coming, though.

    The Tigers were 8-for-17 from 3-point land in the first half and Shook scored often, but without a second threat the 10th-ranked Grizzlies couldn’t hang. Canon City finished off Mesa Ridge with a 52-44 score in the teams’ Colorado Springs Metro League opener in the Tiger Dome.

    “You have to know you’re not going to stop (dominant players such as Shook),” Tigers coach Dan Heath said, “You want to limit them, and then you want to do all the things you always do to the rest of the team. You don’t want to have so much focus on one player that you let other players beat you. We did a good job of that tonight.”

    Shook had 12 points at halftime, but the rest of the Grizzlies combined for only two – a first-quarter bucket by freshman Chloe Welch. Shook ended with 23 points, and Welch scored seven late in the game to finish with nine.

    “It’s very difficult (to win when only Kylee is scoring),” said Beatty, head coach of the defending state champion Grizzlies. “We were missing inside shots, we rushed our shots a little bit. That’s that youth thing. Sometimes we get in there and let it speed us up instead of playing at our speed.”

    It’s not a surprise they felt rushed. With the way the Tigers came out firing, the Grizzlies felt they needed to keep pace. Tigers senior standout Nicole Archambeau hit three 3-pointers in the first quarter and Emily Lambrecht added two to give the Tigers a 15-6 lead after the first eight minutes.

    “We hit a lot of shots,” said Lambrecht, who finished with a team-high 14 points. “It was weird (to miss) a shot in the first half it seemed like.”

    Kaylan Miller hit the team’s sixth 3-pointer in the early moments of the second quarter, and it wasn’t until Kristin Katchmar’s bucket with 6:51 left on the clock that the Tigers made a two-point shot. By that time, they’d stretched the lead to 20-8. A Lizzy McCalla 3-pointer at the end of the half made it 34-14 at halftime.

    Mesa Ridge inched back in the second half to make the game look close. Welch hit a 3-pointer with less than a minute left to cut the lead to seven, but even Beatty had pretty much called off the fouling at the point.

    To go with Lambrecht’s 14 points, Miller had 10 and Archambeau finished with nine. Archambeau led the team with six rebounds and Lambrecht grabbed five. Miller had a team-high six assists. Archambeau ended the game with five steals.

    Canon City improved to a state-best 10-0 with the win. Its last two wins have been against fifth-ranked Pueblo West (67-65 in overtime) and now 10th-ranked Mesa Ridge.

    The Grizzlies fell to 4-5 and have now lost two in a row — to Canon City on Tuesday and ninth-ranked Pueblo South (50-43) on Dec. 18.

    It was the teams’ Colorado Springs Metro League opener. The Grizzlies dominated the league last year to the tune of a 12-0 record with scores averaging 68-25, and the eventual state champs finished 28-0.

    The Tigers’ next game will be against Mitchell (7-2) on Thursday in Colorado Springs. Mesa Ridge will host Sierra (5-2) on Thursday.
