Basketball practice has begun across the state and Colorado Preps will provide in-depth coverage of teams leading up to the start of the season later this month.  Our coverage involves a recap of the top players returning for each team in each conference.  Our capsules will list the top three returnees in several categories for all clubs and our list is based on numbers posted to MaxPreps from last year.  Our list does not include those players who have transferred or moved to different schools since last season.
Our first conference is the 5280 conference for Class 1A Boys.  Front Range Baptist and Flatirons Academy shared the top spot with 7-1 records last year.  They also combined for 35 wins overall.  No league team reached the state tournament last year.
