The 2026 Denver Post All-Colorado girls basketball team, picked based off statistical performance, the eye test, relative value to team success and performance in the state tournament.
Sr. | G/F | 6-foot-3
Stats: 28.5 points, 6.7 rebounds, 2.4 assists, 1.2 blocks, 3.2 steals, Class 6A Great Eight
The blue-chip Texas signee led the state in scoring in the final chapter of a historic career. She finished as with 3,073 points; the McDonald’s All-American could play any position and is a two-time Ms. Colorado Basketball.
Sr. | SG | 5-foot-11
Stats: 17.0 points, 7.4 rebounds, 2.0 assists, 1.9 steals, Class 6A Final Four
The Wichita State commit has been the centerpiece of the Cougars’ rise to prominence over the past few seasons. A multiple-level scorer who could take over a game at a moment’s notice, Broadus’ leadership was also key for Cherokee Trail’s prominent freshmen.
Sr. | PG | 5-foot-11
Stats: 25.9 points, 7.1 rebounds, 3.5 assists, 4.4 steals, Class 5A Great Eight
Asp could do it all for the Kadets, consistently stuffing the stat sheet as she did as an underclassman at Colorado Springs Christian. A shutdown defender, too. She was committed to Boston College, but reopened her recruitment earlier this week.
Sr. | G/F | 6-foot-2
Stats: 27.7 points, 11.7 rebounds, 1.2 assists, 2.0 steals, Class 5A Sweet 16
The CSU signee was second in the state in scoring to Crittendon and has been a four-year force for the Roughriders, a run that included two state titles. Dominant in the paint while averaging a double-double, Hollier was also a threat from beyond the arc.
Soph. | F | 6-foot-4
Stats: 17.8 points, 7.5 rebounds, 3.2 assists, 4.2 blocks, 3.0 steals, Class 6A Sweet 16
She’s uncommitted, but not for long. Colorado’s next phenom and the early frontrunner for 2027 Ms. Colorado Basketball, Gilpatrick already has a stack of offers from Division I powers. She won gold last summer with the USA Basketball U16 team.
Sr. | SG | 5-foot-11
Stats: 23.1 points, 3.8 rebounds, 2.5 assists, 1.0 blocks, 3.5 steals, Class 6A Great Eight
The Utah commit has been unstoppable the last three seasons for the Eagles. Jones is an elite defender who can score through doubles and junk defenses, and is lethal from 3, shooting 41% from distance in her career. Lengthy, athletic, smart baller.
Soph. | PG/SG | 5-foot-8
Stats: 17.1 points, 3.1 rebounds, 3.4 assists, 2.5 steals, Class 6A state champion
The centerpiece of a young Falcons squad that ran the table to the title in a classification defined by parity, Banks-Thomas was equal parts dynamic scorer and flashy facilitator. The upside of being a pillar in more titles as the Falcons move to 5A is high.
Sr. | F | 6-foot-3
Stats: 16.4 points, 7.3 rebounds, 2.8 assists, 1.1 blocks, 1.8 steals, Class 6A Final 4
The San Diego State commit led the Angels to their first Final Four in 16 years, and her leadership and play also accelerated the progression of Serbian sophomore Mia Avramovic. She consistently dominated the paint and boards and shot 57% from 3-point range.
Coach Caryn Jarocki, Highlands Ranch
Record: 25-3, Continental League champion, Class 6A state champion
The 30th-year Falcons boss and Colorado’s all-time winningest girls coach won her eighth title, but first since 2011. This season was probably her best coaching job yet — the Falcons were young and inexperienced, but Jarocki got the most out of their talent.
