First Team
[player_tooltip player_id="95126" first="Sydney" last="Bevington"] Sydney Bevington Sydney Bevington 6'0" | PG Ralston Valley | 2021 State CO , Ralston Valley
The 6-foot-1 point guard is PGH Colorado’s fourth-ranked junior and was named first team all-conference in the Jeffco League. Bevington helped lead her team all the way to the state quarterfinals, and finished with averages of 16.1 points, 9.6 rebounds, 3.8 assists, and 2.8 steals per game. Her highest scoring output of the season was a 28-point outburst against Grandview on Feb. 10.
Nikki Derrell Nikki Derrell 5'3" | PG Sand Creek | 2021 State CO , Sand Creek
Voted all-conference as a star scorer, this dynamic 5-foot-2 guard is the 16th-ranked junior in our rankings and led her team on a playoff run into 4A’s third round and a 25-2 overall record. Derrell led the Pikes Peak League in assists and was second in scoring average. Over the course of the season, Derrell averaged 14.6 points, four assists, 3.3 rebounds and 2.7 steals per game.
[player_tooltip player_id="116758" first="Timiya" last="Guevara"] Timiya Guevara Timiya Guevara 5'4" | PG Denver South | 2021 State CO , Denver South
One of the state’s most electric and talented guards, Guevara finished as the third leading scorer in the state – tops in her 2021 class – with an average of 22 points, 6.3 assists, 5.8 rebounds, and 5.8 steals on a nightly basis. The 5-foot-4 point guard is our 12th-ranked junior and was named first team all-conference in the Denver Prep League. As a senior next season, she’ll lead a Denver South squad that has an incredibly bright future.
[player_tooltip player_id="95135" first="Genevieve" last="Gudino"] Genevieve Gudino Genevieve Gudino 5'6" | CG Erie | 2021 State CO , Erie
New school, same baller. Gudino arrived at Erie this year with a fiery drive that helped the Tigers reach the state quarterfinals in Class 4A. The hard-nosed and versatile 5-foot-8 guard was voted first team all-conference in the Tri-Valley League and is currently our 14th-ranked member of Colorado’s 2021 graduating class. Gudino averaged 14.2 points, 4.8 rebounds, 3.3 steals, and 3.2 assists per game this winter.
[player_tooltip player_id="95123" first="Payton" last="Muma"] Payton Muma Payton Muma 5'9" | PG Highlands Ranch | 2021 State CO , Highlands Ranch
Committed to continue her basketball career at Gonzaga University, the 5-foot-9 point guard is PGH Colorado’s second-ranked junior and was named first team all-conference and Continental League player of the year this winter. While leading her team to the Class 5A Final Four, Muma averaged 15.2 points, 4.1 assists, three steals and 2.9 rebounds per game. Along with several others on this list, there’s little doubt that Muma will be among the frontrunners for next year’s Gatorade player of the year award.
[player_tooltip player_id="95122" first="Addison" last="O’Grady"] Addison O’Grady Addison O’Grady 6'3" | PF Grandview | 2021 State #45 Nation CO , Grandview
A dominant post presence on one of the deepest and most talented teams in the nation, O’Grady played her way onto the all-conference first team in the ultra-competitive Centennial League. The 6-foot-3 power forward is our No. 1-ranked junior and her performance was a key factor in Grandview making it to the state championship game for the second straight season. She finished the 2019-20 with an average of 10.9 points, 6.4 rebounds and 2.2 assists, and we’re expecting big things from O’Grady throughout her senior year in 2020-21.
[player_tooltip player_id="95130" first="Megan" last="Pohs"] Megan Pohs Megan Pohs 5'3" | PG Mullen | 2021 State CO , Mullen
Battling injuries throughout the season, the gritty 5-foot-3 point guard is our ninth-ranked junior and was named first team all-conference in the Centennial League. Pohs led the defending champs back to the Class 4A state championship game for the second straight season and finished with averages of 11.6 points and 2.7 assists per game. Against Berthoud in the Final Four, Pohs scored a season-high 30 points to lead the Mustangs to victory.

The University of Washington commit ended the season with a trip to the Class 5A state quarterfinals and an average of 16.5 points, 3.7 rebounds, 2.5 assists and 2.1 steals per game. This was supposed to be a rebuilding year for the Raiders but VanSickle just wasn’t willing to accept that.
[player_tooltip player_id="116779" first="Alyssa" last="Wells"] Alyssa Wells Alyssa Wells 5'9" | SG Holy Family | 2021 State CO , Holy Family
The latest team leader on one of Class 4A’s most consistently excellent programs, Wells’ spectacular season resulted in her being named first team all-conference in the Tri-Valley League and earning a trip to the 4A state championship game. The 5-foot-10 shooting guard finished the 2019-20 campaign with an average of 12.7 points, 3.7 assists, 3.4 steals and 2.4 rebounds per game.
[player_tooltip player_id="95124" first="Kindyll" last="Wetta"] Kindyll Wetta Kindyll Wetta 5'9" | PG Valor Christian | 2021 State CO , Valor Christian
