Month: January 2026

Colorado girls basketball delivered one of its most electric weeks of the season, and it wasn’t just close games — it was season-shifting results.
The week’s biggest headline came from Riverdale Ridge, where Legend walked into the top team’s gym and walked out with a 61–52 upset, sending shockwaves through the state rankings and proving the Titans are officially built for March.
Legend’s road win wasn’t a fluke either. The Titans showed firepower and poise, sparked by Lucy Thompson’s four threes in the second half, while the team executed a disciplined game plan that neutralized Riverdale’s supporting cast.
