A month into the girls basketball season, Grandview’s Sienna Betts is putting up some of the best statistical numbers of her already distinguished high school career.

That’s good news for the Wolves, who are aiming to win their third title in four years.

Not so much for everyone else.

The 6-foot-4 UCLA commit and 2023 Class 6A player of the year is averaging 22.1 points, 19 rebounds, 5.9 assists and 3.6 blocks this winter. She’s recorded a double-double in all eight of her games and has 14 straight dating back to last season.

Grandview (6-2) reached the quarterfinals in the elite bracket of the Nike Tournament of Champions in Arizona ahead of the winter break and is ranked 19th in the nation by MaxPreps — the only Colorado team in its top 25.

Its two losses in the tournament came to No. 2 Ontario Christian (California), which finished runner-up, and No. 7 Bishop McNamara (Maryland).

In this week’s look-in on 6A-4A girls’ hoops, let’s take a look at a couple of standouts in each classification as we begin 2025.

Class 6A

What happened last season: Valor Christian beat Regis Jesuit in the finals. Now-senior Quinn VanSickle of the Eagles was voted as CHSAA’s 6A player of the year.

So far this season …

Highlands Ranch: The Falcons (9-0) are one of three undefeated teams in the classification. They were one of the tournament champions at Nike’s Tournament of Champions last month, winning four straight.

Ezra Simonich leads Highlands Ranch in scoring at 15.6 points per game. The senior is shooting 52% from the field.

Kennedy Spellman, Mountain Vista: Spellman leads the classification with 27.9 PPG.

The 5-foot-8 junior averaged 27.2 points as a freshman before dipping down to 18.8 last season.

But her production has risen again this season, where she’s scored at least 35 points in three games, including back-to-back 35-point outings in her last two. Overall this winter, she’s shooting 49% from the field, 33% from 3 and is 85% from the line.

Broomfield: The Eagles (6-0) have already shown they can win high-scoring affairs (78-62 over Mountain Vista on Dec. 12) as well as low (41-31 over Poudre Dec. 20).

Freshman Reece Gilpatrick, who is listed at 6-foot-4 for the Eagles, is shooting 58% from the field, averaging 13.2 PPG and 5.7 rebounds. Her sister Paige, a junior, is at 12.5 PPG and 6.3 RPG.

Broomfield, led by decorated coach Mike Croell, is looking to win its seventh title in program history and first since 2015.

Class 5A

What happened last season: Roosevelt beat Northfield in the finals. Now-junior Kyla Hollier of the Roughriders was named CHSAA’s 5A player of the year.

So far this season …

Hollier, Roosevelt: Yep, she’s off to another MVP-worthy start.

The junior is averaging 27.2 points, 9.8 rebounds and four steals for the Roughriders (5-1), whose only loss came by four points to 6A Cherry Creek on Dec. 13.

Winning 5A player of the year as a sophomore, Hollier averaged 16.8 points and 7.1 rebounds as she led the Roughriders to their second straight title.

Air Academy: The Kadets (8-0), fresh off an appearance in the 2023 5A semifinals, is one of three remaining undefeated teams in the classification.

Yet to be really tested this winter, they’re outscoring teams 63-31 as each of their victories have come by at least 16 points.

Senior Tatyonna Brown, listed at 6-foot-2, has led the way, averaging 19.8 points and 8.4 rebounds.

Sydney Martin, Standley Lake: The sophomore is averaging 16.8 points and 11.4 rebounds for the hot-start Gators (8-1).

Last year, she had 12 double-doubles in 26 games. This year, she already has eight.

Class 4A

What happened last season: Riverdale Ridge beat Holy Family in the finals. The Ravens’ Brihanna Crittendon, who is now a junior, was named CHSAA’s 4A player of the year.

So far this season …

Da’Naiya Hickey, DSST: College View: The junior leads the state in scoring at 28.5 points per game.

Hickey has scored at least 26 points in each of her six games for the Wolves (4-2). All of them have come either inside the perimeter (72 of 154) or the free-throw line (27 of 50). She’s 0 for 2 from 3.

Alexandra Eschmeyer, Peak to Peak: The 6-foot-5 Stanford commit, who won the FIBA World Cup with USA’s under-age-17 team over the summer, is adding to her high school legacy through the first month of the season with eight double-doubles in as many games.

This winter, she’s averaging 24.1 points, 14 rebounds and 3.1 blocks.

Over 78 career games for the Pumas, she has 1,585 points, 1,000 rebounds and 342 blocked shots.

University: The Bulldogs (8-0) are one of four remaining undefeated teams in the classification and are outscoring teams 57-25 on average.

Senior Addison Harding leads the team with 10.6 PPG and 6.0 RPG. But the biggest advantage the Bulldogs have had early this season has come on the defensive end, where they’ve held four of their eight opponents under 20 points.
