Rock Canyon’s boys basketball team has been in this spot before — close to glory, but not quite there yet.

The 6A No. 5 Jaguars head to their third Final Four on Friday at the Denver Coliseum, still in search of the program’s first state title.

Now comes perhaps their toughest test of the season — No. 1 Chaparral.

The Wolverines knocked the Jaguars out in the Sweet 16 a year ago and are the only team from Colorado to beat them so far this season.

Below, let’s dive into the 6A and 5A Final 4 matchups and check in on the 4A bracket.

Class 6A (Friday)

  • No. 1 Chaparral vs. No. 5 Rock Canyon, 5:45 p.m.
  • No. 2 Ralston Valley vs. No. 3 Rangeview, 7:15 p.m.

What to know: Chaparral beat the Jaguars 54-50 in league play back in January, using a game-high 19 points from Christian Williams and a big third quarter to pull away.

The Wolverines have lived up to their No. 1 seed so far, beating Fairview and Brighton by more than 30 points in the rounds of 32 and 16 before knocking off No. 8 Mountain Vista by 20 in the Great 8.

Rangeview, meanwhile, is the lone returning team from the 2025 6A Final 4. The Raiders are 20-0 against in-state opponents this season.

They’ll face Ralston Valley, which had the most dramatic finish of the four 6A Great 8 games. Zeke Andrews hit the game-winning shot in the waning moments to lift the Mustangs past No. 7 George Washington, 54-53.

Class 5A (Thursday)

  • No. 8 Lewis-Palmer vs. No. 13 Silver Creek, 12:45 p.m.
  • No. 10 Lutheran vs. No. 11 Windsor, 4 p.m.

What to know: Windsor, Lutheran and Lewis-Palmer are all trying to add to their state championship trophy cases, while Silver Creek is searching for its first title in the final season of legendary coach Bob Banning.

Windsor broke through for its third state title a year ago — and its first since 1924. Lewis-Palmer is chasing title No. 6 after winning 4A in 2022. Lutheran is going for its fifth championship, with its most recent coming in 3A in 2021.

Lewis-Palmer outscored No. 1 Palisade 19-4 in the opening quarter of its Great 8 matchup and coasted to a 17-point victory. Silver Creek shot 51% from the field in its win, while Lutheran and Windsor each advanced by double figures.

Class 4A (Wednesday)

  • No. 4 Lamar vs. No. 5 Timnath, 10:15 a.m.
  • No. 6 Aspen vs. No. 14 Peak to Peak, 1:15 p.m.
  • No. 1 Kent Denver vs. No. 9 Denver West, 5:30 p.m.
  • No. 2 Montezuma-Cortez vs. No. 10 University, 8:30 p.m.

What to know: Peak to Peak pulled off the biggest upset of the Round of 16, beating No. 3 Holy Family 64-58. The Tigers beat the Pumas by 15 in December.

Denver West and University each also won on the road in the Sweet 16. No. 1 Kent Denver, meanwhile, has scored 191 points through the first two rounds. The Sun Devils are looking to defend their 2025 title.
