Maddie Kohler Maddie Kohler 5'4" | CG Fossil Ridge | 2022 State CO – Fossil Ridge
- Kohler is winner who just logged her second season north of eight points and two assists per game as a starter for a dominant 5A program. She’s battle tested and hasn’t committed to a college yet. She hit a three in the all-star game and hit 58 of them in her career with a positive assist to turnover ratio.
Bela Voglund Bela Voglund 5'7" | SG Poudre | 2022 State CO – Poudre
- Voglund looked strong with 14 points in the game as she connected from deep with two threes, midrange with multiple jumpers, and from the free throw line. She averaged 13.4 PPG this year to finish her career over 800 points. The 5’7″ shooter has converted over 30% of her three point attempts for two straight years now.
Jess Rockwell – Fossil Ridge
- Rockwell plays with a toughness that doesn’t show up in the box score. She hit a couple of threes scoring 8 points and took a charge in the all-star game. The charge was a hustle play in beating her man to a spot and embracing the contact. She’s heading to UCCS to play soccer after her successful basketball career.
Delaney Matkin Delaney Matkin 5'6" | PG Rocky Mountain | 2023 State CO – Rocky Mountain
- Matkin had a busy year on the stat sheet highlighted by a 26 point gem in the Lobos’ landmark win over Monarch. She’s always either scoring or creating buckets with 11.5 PPG and a team leading 3.3 APG (1.13 A:T also led the team). As a current junior, Matkin should be hearing from schools that value high energy ball handlers.
Hannah Zink – Loveland
- Loveland graduates three of their top four scorers so look for Zink to jump into a big opportunity next year as a senior. She was the team’s 2nd leading scorer, putting up 5.5 PPG and 3.4 RPG. Her season was highlighted by a 13 point performance in the Red Wolves’ loss to Horizon.
Sara Chicco Sara Chicco 5'10" | SG Rocky Mountain | 2024 State CO – Rocky Mountain
- I wrote about Sara Chicco Sara Chicco 5'10" | SG Rocky Mountain | 2024 State CO here, and since then she’s gotten so much stronger! She hit two threes in the all-star game after a statement sophomore season (15.6 PPG, 45% three-point shooting!). With 5’10″ length, point guard handles, and deadly range from deep, Chicco is quickly moving up the ranks as a higher level 2024 recruit.
Avery Alcaraz Avery Alcaraz 5'8" | SG Fort Collins | 2025 State CO – Fort Collins
- I’m excited for the 2025 rankings to come out because Alcaraz has to be hovering in the top ten or fifteen in her class if not higher. She scored a dozen in the all-star game with such a strong, high-release, three point shot. It seems like she’s grown past her 5’7″ listing. She dropped 10.6 points a game hitting 56 threes (35%) as a freshman. It’s been fun to preview her last fall here, and then see her deliver beyond expectations this season.
Kate Davis Kate Davis 5'9" | SF Fossil Ridge | 2023 State CO – Fossil Ridge
- Davis punctuated a beast-mode junior season by hitting three threes and 13 points in the all-star game. Effective as a shooter, but really strong as a scorer in traffic, Davis scored 14.2 points a game and grabbed 4.6 boards this year. More importantly, she was one of the best on-ball and post defenders on the floor on Wednesday night.
Shayne Young Shayne Young 5'10" | CG Fort Collins | 2022 State CO – Fort Collins
- Young showed everyone in the gym that Coach Haave at Metro State was smart to offer her last year. The selfless senior led the league with 3.7 assists per game this year. She can do it all as she drained four threes, scoring 16 in this game, and used her 5’10″ athletic frame to bring some physicality to this shootout. Young heads to Metro State in the fall.
Kajsa Bormann – Loveland – DNP
- Bormann wasn’t able to play in this one but had a strong senior year leading Loveland in points (11.7 PPG) and steals (2.3 SPG).
