Ravens deny D’Evelyn’s second-straight title game appearance
Riverdale Ridge Ravens Brihanna Crittendon , top center, celebrates with her teammates after defeating the D’Evelyn Jaguars 56-34 winning the 4A girls Colorado state high school Final Four game at the Denver Coliseum in Denver on Friday, March 08, 2024. Riverdale Ridge Ravens won 56-34, Crittendon scored 30 points in the game to move on to Saturday’s final.
Nearly half of Crittendon’s points came in a 14-point explosion in the first quarter, after which the third-seeded Ravens led 19-10. However, No. 2 D’Evelyn stayed in it thanks to a grinding style of play which included multiple offensive rebounds and second-chance points. Credit to D’Evelyn, which did well to limit Crittendon’s impact in the second quarter and much of the third. But after Jones changed Crittendon’s role slightly to take her out of the paint and spread the floor, she hit the ground running, scoring 10 more in just 3:30 to close out the third quarter.
Which made it even more poetic when Vigil hit two straight threes to push an 18-point lead to 24 late, flushing any hopes of a D’Evelyn comeback. The half-court shot took a bit of luck, but opened the door to push the pace in the second half. The back-to-back daggers, though, were the remnants of a team ready to slam the door shut after last year’s lessons.
