3A girls basketball: Platte Valley battles to state title win over Lutheran

COLORADO SPRINGS — The fifth girls basketball title for Platte Valley is a family thing.

Three sets of siblings and some of their closest friends battled through a tough fourth quarter, getting the ultimate reward at the end. Seventeen years after last hoisting the trophy, Platte Valley beat Lutheran 51-44 to claim the Class 3A girls basketball championship.

And in the strangest of years, the championship game was the first time during the entire playoff run that the Broncos (16-1 overall) played an opponent that didn’t come out of the Patriot League.

“We were kind of hoping that we’d see someone different that we hadn’t played yet,” coach Tonya Schissler said. “It felt like our district tournament getting through the state tournament. These girls did a great job playing as a team. That’s what got us through it.”

That team is made up of two of her daughters as well as two other sets of siblings. But even considering the girls that aren’t related, this team has felt like a family for a really long time.

“It’s so fun, we’ve all played together for so long,” Bree Bunting said. “We’re so familiar with each other and it’s so much fun to see our hard from when we were really young to now pay off.”

The trust in each other was the primary factor, however. The Broncos jumped out to a 9-1 lead to start the game, but Lutheran’s Stephanie Schultz erased in the blink of an eye. The two teams battled into halftime where Platte Valley held a three-point lead.

The Lions (15-2) started knocking down big shots in the third quarter and Raelyn Kelty scored seven of her 11 points in that quarter, including a 3-pointer at the buzzer that gave them a 34-32 lead heading into the fourth quarter.

But the Broncos weren’t phased. They knew they had the mental toughness to keep the momentum from fully swinging back to the Lions.

Cora Schissler scored eight of her game-high 15 points in the fourth as the Broncos pulled ahead and refused to let go of the lead.

“They came out strong in that third quarter,” Schissler said. “We came right back out and knew that this was the last game of our season no matter what. We had to give it our all.”

That’s exactly what they did. There was a brief moment of panic when Bree Bunting fouled out, but even as she watched from the bench, she knew the game was in capable hands. It all goes back to that family trust.

“It was tough,” Bunting said. “But I was so glad my team was able to carry it out and they played hard and did such a great job.”

The last time the Broncos won a girls basketball title was 2004 when they beat Lamar 85-77. This also completes a one-loss season for the Broncos. They fell to Vanguard back on Jan. 30. The Coursers were the No. 1 seed heading into the 3A tournament but lost to Lutheran in the semifinals.

3A boys wrestling: Pagosa Springs claims first state championship

(Dan Mohrman/CHSAANow.com)

PUEBLO — For the first time in school history, Pagosa Springs is a team state wrestling champion.

The Pirates put together a solid Class 3A state tournament performance across the board, ending the night with one state champion and three additional top-three placers. They finished with 110.5 points. After clinching a share of last year’s team title, Eaton finished second with 84.5 points.

They got their first state champion of the night when Cameron Lucero finished off an undefeated season, beating Fort Morgan’s Cael Langford in a 9-6 decision to claim the 160-pound title. The win gives Lucero his third state championship and it gives him a win in his final match as a high school wrestler.

After falling in the semifinals, Erik Wyman battled back to get a third-place finish after pinning Elizabeth’s Andrew Kramer.

Dylan Tressler had a chance to give the Pirates two gold medalists on the night, but ran into two-time state champion, Zane Rankin. The Lamar senior is no stranger to the big stage as he had previously won to wrestling titles and was also named the 2A football player of the year last fall.

Even with Tressler’s second-place finish, the Pirates had plenty to celebrate. They get to go home with their first team trophy in the sport and they got to watch head coach Dan Janowsky get honored for his 20-plus years of service to high school wrestling. He has been coaching the Pirates for 40 years, the last 31 as head coach.

And while the Pirates left the Southwest Motors Event Center as the ultimate winner, there were plenty of other notable achievements from the 3A wrestling tournament, some of which will have an impact for next season.

Woodland Park’s Brady Hankin needed a 5-3 sudden victory to advance to the 138-pound championship match. Hankin, a junior, is going for his third state title and with Jefferson’s Angelo Lozado getting beat in the 126-pound semifinal, Hankin will be one of two wrestlers to have a shot at a fourth state championship next year as Pomona junior Daniel Cardenas will be going for his third title on Saturday.

Hankin cruised to his second state title last year, beating La Junta’s Isaiah Gamez with an 11-6 decision in the championship match. He became just the third state wrestling champion in school history when he won the 106-pound title as a freshman in 2019.

Should he win a state title next year, he would be the first wrestler from Woodland Park to be a four-time state champion.

Valley’s Isaiah Rios won the 152-pound title to also claim his third state championship.

Platte Valley’s Jeremiah Garcia beat Pagosa Springs’ Skyler Hill to claim the 220-pound title. This comes 24 hours after his sister Navea Garcia won the 161-pound girls championship, making the Garcias the first brother/sister combo to claim state wrestling titles in the same year.
