Rocky Mountain League: Top 5 Players on the Top 5 Teams

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Moving on to the Rocky Mountain League section of the CHSAA conference by conference series. Westminster, Riverdale Ridge, and Northglenn are all atop the conference, with Boulder and Mountain Range looking to bounce back in 2026. Amidst the competitiveness, it's important to appreciate greatness, which is why we're starting the list off with the best player in the state. Let's talk about it.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["329351"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6960444e84b33"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='329351' first='Brihanna' last='Crittendon'] is Riverdale Ridge's heartbeat, who has continued to dominate this year. The 6'3 senior is a three-level scorer who makes pinpoint passes and makes the right decision with the rock. Averaging 27.6 PPG, 6.3 RPG, and 2 BPG, Crittendon's presence is felt on both sides of the ball. With eyes set on the state championship, Crittendon's stats should only go up from here. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"Jayla Talmich-Martinez","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2028","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"5'6u0022","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"12125","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"Westminster","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_program":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_program":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_0_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6960444e84bf4"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Jayla Talmich-Martinez hustles on defense, clamping up her assignment without giving them any wiggle room to work with. Leading the Wolves in nearly every stat category, Talmich-Martinez brings efficiency and grit to a thriving 7-3 Westminster squad. Maneuvering through defenders and finding the open shooter, Talmich-Martinez adds a smooth flow to any offense she's on.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["968123"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6960444e84c44"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='968123' first='Evelynn' last='Jaimes'] puts a lock on her matchup without giving them the key out. Acquiring an astounding 7.2 SPG (second most in the 5A division), there is simply no escaping Jaimes. Not to mention she puts up 21.3 PPG with 6.7 RPG, the sky is the limit for the 5'5 guard out of Northglenn. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["796629"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6960444e84c85"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='796629' first='Lexi' last='Oder'] has been Boulder's top scorer thus far, converting on 61% of her looks and chalking up 15.8 PPG. Oder is confident bringing the ball up and takes advantage of any room allowed by opposing defenders. The 5'11 junior is currently ranked as a top 20 combo guard in her class, and I'm expecting Oder to improve even more. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["893364"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6960444e84cc3"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='893364' first='Delilah' last='Lucero'] battles for every rebound and gets creative for every bucket she scores. Lucero drives to the paint frequently and racks up second-chance rebounds and points for the Mustangs. There's been exponential improvement in her game, and I'm excited to see what more she can do in her final high school campaign. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
