Teams have struggled with figuring out ways to stop Brihanna all season and it doesn’t seem to be going well as she continues to dominate. in Riverdale Ridge’s 61-18 win over Elizabeth, she had a team-high 29 points and 8 rebounds. The numbers she has been putting up this season are impressive including breaking the freshmen scoring record. Everything is downhill as she attacks the rim. She puts pressure on the defense and forcing double teams but even that is an issue as she is a capable passer that sets teammates up for open 3’s. She is a special player that has excelled in her freshman season and I am excited to see how the next approaches her as I am sure she will have answers.

D’Evelyn once again has come out scorching hot and finding playoff success as they improved their record to 24-0 on the season after a 75-18 win over Sierra. Although there were many players that stood out in that game, Peyton Marvel Peyton Marvel 5'9" | SG D'Evelyn | 2024 State CO was the biggest difference maker. Her 28 points, 14 rebounds, and 6 steals pushed the team into the Sweet 16 against Kent Denver Friday night. With the Jaguars one game away from getting back to the Coliseum I expect Peyton to come out with a lot of energy and for them to lead on their team leader.

The super sophomore has been a consistent threat on offense all season. So going into this first-round matchup with La Junta would be no different.

Enyiah Contreraz Enyiah Contreraz 5'6" | SG Holy Family | 2026 State CO – Holy Family
This incoming freshman class is one of the strongest I have seen in recent memory. With plenty of players coming in ready to lead a team and Eniyah Contreasz adds her name as another player that has made her stamp so far. In Tuesday’s win over Eagle Ridge Academy Eniyah had a strong showing with 17 points, 4 rebounds and 4 steals. Coming into the playoffs as the number 1 seed, Holy Family will look to their freshman to make big plays when opposing teams focus on the upperclassmen.

Eaton has been led by junior Tayla Wiedeman all season but in their 52-35 opening-round win against Basalt, she set the tone for her team going forward. Ending the game with a double-double of 25 points and 11 rebounds Tayla is ready to put the team on her back and take them as far as she can. The Reds get another chance to advance in the state tournament this Friday as they take on Peak to Peak.
