Like a point guard hitting an open teammate with a clever pass, there was a satisfying connection made over the May 12-14 weekend during the Colorado’s Finest Exhibition basketball event produced by Triple Crown Basketball.

Held at Regis University in Denver, the tournament brought eight 17u club programs together (six of Colorado’s best, one from Washington state  and one from New Mexico) for a cause close to their hearts, as admission fees and concessions sales were directed to the Colorado Women’s Sports Fund Association. The CWSFA is active in many spaces when it comes to athletics; these proceeds help fuel the 25 $500 Opportunity Gifts for individuals and the 10 $500 grants that go to non-profit organizations also designed to help the cause of women and girls in sports.

Athletes of all ages are encouraged to apply for these grants – anyone from a 4-year-old gymnast to a 65-year-old skeleton/sledder have been recipients. You can apply through the organization’s website (www.cwsfa.org) from Sept. 1-Nov. 1 for the Opportunity Gifts, and Nov. 1-Dec. 31 for the grants.

Awards are announced in February, in conjunction with National Girls & Women In Sports Day. Through eight years of the program, the CWSFA has awarded more than $135,000.

“We are very thankful to be hosting this event, and (for) anything that gives back to women’s sports. Regis is obviously a service institution, and we pride ourselves in serving others,” said Regis women’s head coach Molly Marrin. “It’s a beautiful combination, and we’re excited to be a part of it.”

The event also offered a high-energy recruiting opportunity for a number of regional college and junior college programs:
​
Fort Lewis: Head Coach Jason Flores, Assistant Coach Maylinn Smith
Regis: Head Coach Molly Marrin, Assistant Coach Taylor Harris
Western State: Head Coach Lora Westling
Metro State University of Denver: Head Coach Tanya Haave, Assistant Coach David Wells
UCCS: Head Coach Lynn Plett, Assistant Coach Liz Doran
CCU: Head Coach Corey Laster, Assistant Coach Jon Asp
Otero Junior College: Head Coach Taylor Shaffer
Colorado College: Head Coach Katherine Menendez
South Dakota School of Mines and Technology: Assistant Coach Hope Bonlander
Johnson & Wales University: Assistant Coach John Stene
Western Nebraska CC: Head Coach Chad Gibney

BC Denver Elite sweep through Colorado’s Finest Exhibition

The BC Denver 2018 Elite wrapped up an undefeated run through the field Sunday at the Colorado’s Finest Exhibition with a 51-39 victory against the Boulder Rockies Black at Regis University in Denver.

BC Denver Elite, which allowed just 98 points in their three pool play games, outscored the Rockies 19-9 in the second quarter to take a lead it would maintain the rest of the way. BC Denver had a 56-40 edge in rebounding and held the Rockies to 4-of-23 shooting from 3-point range.

Ashley Panem scored 16 points for BC Denver; Denali Pinto added 11 points and seven rebounds, and Delaynie Byrne scored 10 points. Pinto scored 21 points in her team’s win against New Mexico Select, and Byrne poured in 19 points each in wins over Boulder Rockies Silver and EJ Hoops Black.

“Defense is one thing we talk about a lot, for several reasons. It gives you the best chance to win if you’re not shooting well, and we all know that happens,” said BC Denver Elite head coach Geoff Golden, who founded the club in 2010. “And in terms of recruiting, coaches want to see that you can play good defense, that you’ll get out and hustle.

“We look to share the basketball — we’ve got a talented roster, and we play the best when we play together. We look to make the right basketball play. We’ve had some kids out (sick/injured), but the event was good for getting everybody in the mix and continuing to build that chemistry. We’re happy with where we are right now, but far from satisfied. There’s still a lot of work to do.”

For the Boulder Rockies Black in the final game, R’Manie Pulling and Chloe Welch each scored 13 points. Camila Emsbo scored 15 points against BC Denver Select; Welch tallied 15 points vs. EJ Hoops Elite and Pulling added 15 points against Xpress Shon.

Other notable efforts during the event, which took place at the Regis Fieldhouse on May 12-14:

Jayda Lyon, New Mexico Elite – She scored 16 points in a tight 69-66 loss to EJ Hoops Black.
Avery VanSickle, EJ Hoops Elite – She scored 19 points in an 87-61 win against Xpress Shon.
Alisha Davis, EJ Hoops Elite – In that same game, Davis rang up 17 points and seven rebounds.
Kiara Steen, Xpress Shon – Also in that same contest, Steen tallied 17 points and four assists.
Emily Doolittle, Boulder Rockies Silver – She scored 16 points, hitting five 3-pointers, in a loss to EJ Hoops Black.
Lindsey Nurmi, Xpress Shon – She scored 18 points in a 59-45 win over BC Denver Select.
