Roosevelt High School players receive the Class 5A girls basketball state championship trophy at the Denver Coliseum in Denver on Saturday, March 9, 2024. Roosevelt High School defeated Northfield High School 69-63 for the state title.
“It was a grind,” Roosevelt coach Enoch Miller said. “These kids had the weight of the world on them every game this season . Every game they stepped out there they were expected to win, and that is really hard. I know I felt it as a coach, and I know they felt it.” Roosevelt seniors Maddie Moyers and Kinsey Trujillo made major contributions. But the big difference came on the boards, where Roosevelt held a 43-34 advantage. The Riders snatched 20 offensive rebounds, producing a 19-12 edge in second-chance points.
Herron finished with 14 points, while freshman guard Madison Bethel had 16 points and five steals; senior Nashara Ellerbee 14 points, 12 rebounds and three blocks; and freshman LaPorsha Allen eight points. “The shots that they made down the stretch, you talk about Cinderella or whatever, they’re going to be back and they are going to win one in the next couple of years. There’s no question about it.”
