23. Valor Christian (CO)
- - -
Analysis: One of the four teams representing 'The Centennial State' throughout this list, the fourth-place finishers at the Colorado 5A state championships boast a solid group of returners, with senior Kaeden Dendorfer leading the charge for the Eagles. As one of the most successful Colorado programs in recent years, it's no surprise that they've found themselves back on this list.
With six out of the seven fastest returners for this squad being seniors, there is no shortage of championship racing experience, an advantage not all high-caliber programs are fortunate enough to have. In their 2024 season opener, Valor Christian took down Cheyenne Mountain by a comfortable margin, winning 87-101 at the Cheyenne Mountain Stampede.
