The 2025 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.
Sienna Betts, Grandview
Sr. | F | 6-foot-4
Stats: 23.0 points, 16.5 rebounds, 4.9 assists, 3.4 blocks, 2.3 steals, Class 6A state champion
Betts was again a dominant force for the Wolves en route to her third state title. Impossible to guard with just one player, Ms. Colorado Basketball faced double-teams, triple-teams and junk defenses all winter — and still easily averaged a double-double. The UCLA commit was also named to the McDonald’s All-American team and won her third consecutive state Gatorade player of the year award.
Brihanna Crittendon, Riverdale Ridge
Jr. | G/F | 6-3
Stats: 26.8 points, 5.8 rebounds, 3.3 steals, 2.8 assists, 1.1 blocks, Class 6A Final Four
Last year’s Ms. Colorado Basketball turned in another prolific season, leading the Ravens on a deep tournament run in Class 6A after jumping up two classifications following their Class 4A title in 2024. Perhaps the most versatile player in the state, Crittendon could play the 1 through the 5, and guard every position on the floor, too. She has dozens of Division I offers from top programs across the country.
Alexandra Eschmeyer, Peak to Peak
Sr. | F | 6-5
Stats: 27.0 points, 13.5 rebounds, 3.0 blocks, 2.0 steals, 1.6 assists, Class 4A Sweet 16
Eschmeyer burst onto the scene as a freshman four years ago, and averaged a double-double each of her four seasons in Lafayette. Including the playoffs, she ended up leading the state in scoring as no Class 4A teams had an answer for her in the paint. She was also a game-altering dynamo on defense, forcing coaches to adjust their offenses. The McDonald’s All-American is committed to Stanford.
Brooklyn Stewart, Pine Creek
Sr. | G/F | 6-2
Stats: 19.0 points, 10.8 rebounds, 2.3 steals, 1.6 assists, 1.2 blocks, Class 6A Final Four
The Eagles star averaged a double-double each of her four seasons while she emerged as one of the top recruits in the country in her class along with Betts and Eschmeyer. The Oklahoma commit, Betts’ club teammate on Hardwood Elite, put Pine Creek on her back en route to the program’s first Final Four. Capable of scoring inside and outside, she played with tenacity and leadership.
Mason Borcherding, Legend
Sr. | F | 6-1
Stats: 13.5 points, 8.1 rebounds, 2.3 assists, 1.8 steals, 0.7 blocks, Class 6A title game
The Titans’ catalyst over the last two seasons led Legend to the Class 6A Final Four in ’23, then a step further in ’24 before falling to Betts & Co. Borcherding was smooth in the post and a leader on a senior-heavy Titans team — you can’t mention her name without also noting the efforts of players like guards Grace Stanley and Maley Wilhelm. Borcherding is committed to play at Boise State.
Coach
Tonia Jones, Mullen
The Mustangs’ third-year boss led Mullen to its eight state title via the Class 5A crown a year after making the Class 6A Great 8.
