Granite Peaks League: Top 5 Players on the Top 5 Teams

In the action-packed Granite Peaks League, we're seeing an undefeated Broomfield squad control the narrative at 7-0. Meanwhile, the Niwot Courgars are right on their tail at 6-1, with the Frederick Golden Eagles sitting comfortably at 6-3. There have been some emerging hoopers in this section who've elevated their game to new heights. Let's talk about it.    [player_tooltip player_id='894459' first='Reece' last='Gilpatrick'] is the best player in her class, and her work ethic backs this up. Having mastered her craft this offseason with the [program_tooltip program_id='716215' first='Colorado' last='Hoopsters'], Gilpatrick is coming off a heater AAU season that spiked her confidence, leading into her second high school season. The numbers speak for themselves, averaging 16.2 PPG, 7.3 RPG, 4.3 BPG, and 3 SPG. Gilpatrick's two-way dominance has been a crucial spark for Broomfield, as they look to stay undefeated this year.     [player_tooltip player_id='510719' first='Juliet' last='Slater'] is a tough-minded guard who thrives in clutch situations. Once Slater gets the ball, she attacks the rim and has a versatile arsenal of moves to utilize in the paint. A massive point of emphasis for Slater this season is defense. Staying between passing lanes and reading the offense, she's added 3.6 SPG to her contributions along with a consistent 14.9 PPG. Expect Slater to continue getting in rhythm in 2026.     Emma Rivera contributes across the board and leads Frederick in assists this season with 3.9 APG. The 5'7 shooting guard has a tight handle and minimizes turnovers on offense. With her head up at all times, she's ready to deliver pinpoint passes to her teammates. One aspect of Rivera's game that stands out the most is her rebounding. She always follows her shot and gives her squad plenty of second chance opportunities in transition.     [player_tooltip player_id='968050' first='Alaina' last='Loomis'] is the driving force for the 6-1 Niwot Cougars. The 5'9 guard earns multiple trips to the foul stripe each contest and leads her team in FT percentage (65%). Loomis has exceptional court awareness and approaches every game with an enthusiastic energy that radiates to her teammates as well. Beginning the first half of her sophomore season, averaging just short of 14 PPG, she looks to elevate Niwot to new heights this year.     [player_tooltip player_id='1252473' first='Genia' last='Harris'] is capitalizing on a Horizon team that's heavily focused on defensive rebounding (16.8 RPG) and steals (15.7 SPG). Harris makes her presence known by defending the perimeter and always forcing her matchup to go baseline. Able to score in a multitude of ways, Harris has her head on a swivel and never settles for average shot attempts. Having a productive summer with [program_tooltip program_id='712469' first='Colorado' last='Premier'], expect Harris' volume to increase this year as she's cemented herself as an essential piece to this team.
