    Send us a text Happy New Year and welcome back to the Colorado High School Basketball Podcast, sponsored by 7070 Athletics — Elevate Your Game. The 2026 high school basketball season is already proving to be wildly unpredictable, and this episode breaks down everything you need to know coming out of the holiday break in Colorado 6A and 5A boys basketball. We dive into the latest 6A and 5A Top 10 rankings, review which teams held steady over the break, and discuss how out-of-state tournaments and returning players could shift the landscape in the weeks ahead. You’ll also get a deep look at scoring leaders and double-double standouts across both classifications, including eye-opening performances from some of the state’s top guards, forwards, and rising sophomores. The heart of the episode centers on one of the biggest early-season matchups:  Chaparral vs. Ralston Valley — a clash between two Top 5 6A programs. We break down the numbers, key matchups, offensive styles, transition play, and strategic factors that could decide the game, including how each team handles pace, three-point shooting, and half-court execution. We also preview a packed slate of must-watch games over the next week, highlight several “measuring stick” matchups that will help define contenders, and examine what these games tell us about Colorado teams competing on a statewide and national level. If you’re a coach, player, parent, or fan looking to stay informed on the Colorado high school basketball scene, this episode delivers rankings, insight, and context you won’t find anywhere else.

    Colorado High School Basketball Podcast Season 7 Episode 2 Leveraging Basketball Beyond the Game with Locker Room Founders Andrew Farrell & Micah Roberson

    Send us a text Host Matt Langley welcomes Andrew Farrell and Micah Roberson, co-founders of Locker Room (L-K-R-M), a new sports technology company aimed at helping high school coaches manage their basketball programs more efficiently. The conversation begins with light-hearted banter about college traditions and leads into a deeper discussion about how lessons from playing sports translate into life skills and professional success. Andrew shares his background — growing up near a high school where his mom worked as an administrator — and how seeing coaches stay late inspired him to build a platform that saves them time. Despite majoring in physics and politics, he turned down a lucrative job offer to pursue Locker Room full-time, driven by the belief that technology can simplify coaching and program management. Micah reflects on his basketball journey in Alabama, realizing early that his playing career wouldn’t extend to college but that the teamwork, discipline, and perseverance he learned through the sport carried over into his medical school pursuits and his work with Locker Room. Together, they describe Locker Room as a coach-first platform designed to eliminate paperwork, streamline scheduling, manage rosters, track budgets, and even integrate with platforms like MaxPreps. Their goal is to save coaches 20 hours a week and help them focus more on their players and program culture. Langley praises the platform’s intuitive design and relates it to his own experience as a high school coach who once had to manually call newspapers to report scores. The episode emphasizes how technology, teamwork, and passion for the game can intersect to make high school sports more effective and enjoyable for everyone involved. 🏀 Key Takeaways Locker Room (LKRM) helps coaches cut administrative time by up to 40%.Built from feedback from hundreds of coaches nationwide.Focused on organization, culture, and long-term program sustainability.Founders emphasize life lessons from sports — goal setting, resilience, and teamwork.The episode captures how innovation in high school athletics can empower coaches and players alike.Support the show for more follow @bball_co on twitter or visit BasketballColorado.com
