I am in the midst of covering the CHSAA 4A and 5A basketball Final 4 at the Denver Coliseum. I’m posting photos of the Semifinal games. In 4A boy’s action, Lewis-Palmer defeated Pueblo Central and Pueblo South ended the run of Frederick. In 5A, Thunder Ridge edged Denver East by 1 and Fossil Ridge advanced to the final by defeating Chaparral. Yesterday, the girl’s finalists were decided. In 4A action, Windsor defeated rival Mead while Mullen easily downed Green Mountain. In 5A, top seeded Valor Christian defeated Arapahoe while Grandview dominated Highlands Ranch. I can’t wait to see who takes hime the titles this evening.
