The Valor Christian Eagles, overlooked by many this season, knew they had the talent, grit and passion to be state champions. But something was missing.
Valor Christian High School players celebrate winning the class 6A Colorado High School girls state championship game at the Denver Coliseum in Denver on Saturday, March 9, 2024. Valor Christian High School won the state title against Regis Jesuit High School. The Valor Christian Eagles, overlooked by many this season, knew they had the talent, grit and passion to be state champions.
Saturday afternoon at the Denver Coliseum, the No. 4 Eagles used that D to dominate No. 7 Regis Jesuit and win the Class 6A girls state championship, 58-44. It’s Valor’s fourth state title and first since 2021. Although Regis made a mini second-half run, the game’s outcome was never in doubt, especially when the Eagles took a 31-7 lead into halftime.
The Raiders’ own recent history told them that hoop miracles were possible. In their semifinal game against Legend on Thursday, the Raiders rallied from 14 points down entering the final quarter and rode a 20-0 magic carpet ride to a stunning 54-53 victory. “ showed such great grit,” Caldwell said. “They put us on our heels a little bit with their pressure. And when things get close, we have a tendency to get a little tight. But I was really proud of our composure today. Without Rylie, we really only ran about six deep, so everyone who touched the floor did something truly special.”“There’s a lot of emotion tied into this,” Caldwell said. “I lost my dad in June. He’s why I got into coaching and he’s why I came to Valor.
