BASKETBALL: State Tournament Recap

kevin — Sun, 11 Mar 2012 05:25:28 +0000

What a great day to finish off the 2011-12 basketball season as most of the state championship games went down to the wire especially on the boys side where the five games on Saturday were decided by a total of 15 points with one of them going into overtime.

The 5A game between Chaparral and Arapahoe was last to wrap up and featured the best finish of the night. Tied in overtime at 67, Chaparral’s Cory Calvert missed a 25-footer but teammate Josh Adams came soaring through the middle for an incredible tip-in at the buzzer to give the Wolverines their first ever basketball championship.

In Class 4A, Lewis Palmer finished the season with 27 consecutive wins as they edged league rival Sierra 44-43. The Stallions ended the campaign at 26-2 with both losses at the hands of the Rangers by a combined five points. They fell just short of their third title in four years while the Rangers grab their second title in school history.

Faith Christian again picked up the top trophy for the fifth consecutive year in Class 3A but it was far from easy. Down by as many as 16 points, Kent Denver rallied all the way back but the Eagles hung on for a 41-40 victory.

A legendary coaching career came to a close in Class 2A as Denver Christian held off Limon 54-50 in the championship. The title was the eighth in the 48 year career for Dick Katte and was his 876^th victory at the school. Limon was in the finals for the first time since 1964 and roared back to actually take the lead at 44-43 in the fourth quarter after trailing by as many as 18 points in the first half.

Up tempo was the word of the day in Class 1A as Caliche raced to a crazy 84-77 decision over Sierra Grande. The win gave the Buffs and head coach Randy Kirkwood their fourth straight title and prevented the Panthers from gaining their first ever state title. It was also their first loss of the season.

On the girls side, Faith Christian was a surprise winner in the 3A ranks. After finishing third in the Metro conference during the regular season, the Eagles drew the ninth seed in the 32-team bracket and won five consecutive games to win the second championship in school history. They beat Eaton 49-44 in the title game as the Reds finished off another frustrating season that ended with a loss in the finals.

In Class 2A and 1A, Akron and Pawnee ended a couple of years of frustration by winning the first state titles at their school. The Rams finished second two years ago and then sixth last year before downing Lutheran 57-49 for the 2A championship on Saturday. Pawnee scored the fewest points of any winner in a state championship game but hung on to beat Norwood 28-23. For the Coyotes, it was the third time in four years they’ve finished in the top four but the first time they hoisted the top trophy.

BOYS BASKETBALL: Saturday State Tourney Schedule

kevin — Sat, 10 Mar 2012 05:30:56 +0000

The 2011-12 basketball season comes to a close today with the crowning of five state champions. Only two teams have a chance to repeat as Faith Christian seeks a fifth consecutive 3A crown and Caliche goes for a fourth straight 1A title. The Eagles tangle with long-time rival Kent Denver in Fort Collins while the Buffs try to hand unbeaten Sierra Grande their first loss in the small school finale.

Another focus on the final day is the last game in the legendary career of Denver Christian coach Dick Katte. He finishes up nearly a half-century on the sidelines as the Crusaders shoot for an undefeated season and eighth title under Katte. They’ll face Limon for the 2A crown tonight.

Two Colorado Springs team collide for the 4A championship as league rivals Lewis Palmer and Sierra take identical 26-1 records into the finals in Boulder. The Rangers won the regular season matchup by four points and another tight game is expected. In Class 5A, a first time champion will be crown as two number one seeds get together following the conclusion of the 4A contest.
