Basketball practice for girls’ programs across Colorado opens today as clubs conduct their first official workouts in hopes of landing a state championship.  Teams can schedule a scrimmage anytime after November 17th with games opening the season as early as November 26th.
The playoffs open the week of February 18th and the state championships are set for March 7-9th.  Colorado Preps will again provide weekly updates on each classification throughout the regular season but over the next couple of weeks we will provide daily lists of top players returning for the 2018-19 season.
