Cherry Creek 19-4
Facing #31 Chatfield @ 6 PM on 2/21
A’Neya Chambers A’Neya Chambers 5'10" | CG Cherry Creek | 2025 State CO – 2025
An incredibly physical guard, Chambers provides a baseline of offensive rebounding tenacity that keeps opponents on their toes at all times. Outside of rebounding, the sophomore does her part to keep pressure on the rim at all times, proving to outmuscle most opposing guards on drives. Through her season with Cherry Creek, the combo guard has posted 9.4 points, 7 rebounds, 2.2 assists, and 2.5 steals per game while converting 49% of two point attempts. There are few athletes as potent in transition, due to her speed and willingness to push the pace off of defensive rebounds.
Braelynn Barnett Braelynn Barnett 6'1" | SF Cherry Creek | 2025 State CO – 2025
Barnett is a sturdy interior defender who does not allow easy buckets to get through under her watch. Standing right around 6’1, the forward maximizes her length by getting both arms up for contests against shot attempts. She is a two-way rebounding threat, proving capable either outmanuevering slower forwards or outmuscling a mismatch to grab the rebound. Barnett is always battling for position under the rim, welcoming any challenge. Through her season with Cherry Creek, the forward has posted 10.8 points and 5.2 rebounds per game.

Cherokee Trail 18-5
Facing #28 Fort Collins @ 6 PM on 2/21
Delainey Miller Delainey Miller 5'10" | CG Cherokee Trail | 2025 State CO – 2025
Miller provides consistency as a sturdy, yet switchable defender with upside a play finisher. The 5’10 guard has shown intrigue as a mid-range shotmaker, notably within a couple dribbles. Either from a standstill or working towards a fadeaway jumper, Miller has the length to create more than enough space off of a single turnaround jumper. The guard is equally effective as a baseline cutter, finishing tough reverse layups right under the basket. Through her sophomore season, Miller has posted 8.7 points, 6.7 rebounds, and 1.9 assists per game. Her immediate value as a versatile defender cannot be overlooked. Cherokee Trail is as tough a team to score on as anybody in the state.
