The Denver Post’s 2024 All-Colorado girls basketball team

The 2024 Denver Post All-Colorado girls basketball team, picked based off statistical performance, the eye test, relative value to team success and performance in the state tournament.

Brihanna Crittendon, Riverdale Ridge

So. | G/F | 6-foot-3

Stats: 28.9 points, 11.3 rebounds, 3.2 steals, 2.6 blocks, 2.3 assists, Class 4A state champion

Ms. Colorado Basketball led the Ravens to their first state title, and first girls team title in school history, as a five-star recruit with dozens of Division I offers. She’s on pace to break the state scoring record, and is lockdown on defense, too.

Sienna Betts, Grandview

Jr. | F | 6-0

Stats: 22.5 points, 15.6 rebounds, 4.6 assists, 3.3 blocks, 2.2 assists, Class 6A Sweet 16

Another five-star recruit, Betts (last year’s Ms. Colorado Basketball) is a UCLA commit who can take over on both ends. The Wolves lost in the Sweet 16, but that didn’t change Betts’ utter dominance in the face of season-long double and triple teams.

Quinn VanSickle, Valor Christian

Jr. | PG | 5-7

Stats: 18.9 points, 4.1 assists, 3.4 rebounds, 3.4 steals, Class 6A state champion

VanSickle, who has a number of Division I offers, was a force to be reckoned with during the state tournament and the primary driver behind the Eagles cruising to the crown. She consistently had tough finishes at the rim, plus a sweet jumper to match.

Kyla Hollier, Roosevelt

Soph. | PF | 6-0

Stats: 16.8 points, 7.1 rebounds, 2.6 steals, 1.9 assists, Class 5A state champion

The most dynamic player on the Rough Riders’ up-tempo team full of skill and athleticism, Hollier came into her own this winter after a promising freshman season to lead Roosevelt to the repeat. Tough inside, teams didn’t enjoy driving on her in the paint.

Hana Belibi, Regis Jesuit

Sr. | G/SF | 6-0

Stats: 17.9 points, 8.7 rebounds, 1.4 steals, 1.2 assists, Class 5A state finalist

The Raiders’ star helped them storm back in the fourth quarter to shock Legend in the Final Four. Belibi was equally apt scoring and rebounding, and the Harvard commit was hard to guard off the dribble while also showing proficiency from three.

Jessika Caldwell, Valor Christian

Coach of the Year

Other finalists: Enoch Miller, Roosevelt; Tim Jones, Riverdale Ridge; Sydney Price, Northfield; Ron Rossi, Holy Family.

An All-Colorado guard at Coronado in 2000 who later starred at Baylor and played professionally in the Czech Republic, Caldwell claimed her fourth title in 10 years as the Eagles’ boss as Valor Christian won every playoff game by double digits.
