GRAND JUNCTION, Colo. (KREX) — High school basketball in the state of Colorado is truly fascinating, specifically in the 6A classification.
Every single team that competes in 6A - Colorado's top class - resides on the front range.
Every single one - except- the top seed in the tournament, the 25-0 Fruita Wildcats.
And the noise - it's been loud.
Folks on the Front Range didn't believe Fruita deserved to be number 1, nor did they think they stood a chance.
Well, two playoff wins later and Fruita is headed to the Denver Coliseum for the Great 8 and they want to prove that Western Slope basketball belongs.
