Somehow this video of Sarah K escaped my notice. She will fit right in, obviously.

More winning news for a Friday evening...
Mesa Ridge came from 12 down in the 2nd half to upset top-seeded Pueblo West, prevailing 66-63 on the road. The big comeback avenged last year's quarterfinal loss in the state tourney.
Chloe W had 15 second half points, including the decisive bucket. Huge game from teammate Ashley Bowen.
The Grizzlies are now headed to the Colorado class 4A Final Four. They'll play 12th-seeded Pueblo South next Thursday.

I'd like to blame Google, but this is probably me slacking off. Nice article about Sarah K, about a month old.

Congratulations to both Sarah Konstans and Chloe Welch for making their respective All-State teams.
Sarah is 2nd-team all-state in TAPPS 6A, which is the top division of the private school association in Texas. Sarah also made 2nd team all-state last year.
Chloe is 1st-team all-state in CHSAA 4A, which is the 2nd highest division of the (public and private school, I think) association in Colorado. Chloe also made 1st team all-state last year.

Another nice feather in Chloe W's cap.
This five-player team was selected by the Denver Post, and includes all classifications. Chloe is the only class 4A player. The rest are 5A.

P.S. Yes, Fran Belibi has dunked in a game. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zppDOYyz1qs

We had a lady who could dunk. Unfortunately, she couldn't play basketball. Fran Belibi looks like a player.

Congrats to Chloe and Coach Fulks. I'm not a wizard, but I'm not sure I can remember the last time our women's coach recruited a "First Team All-State" player.
