After beating two ranked teams last week, including then-No. 1 Regis Jesuit, Cherry Creek has taken over atop CHSAANow.com's Class 5A baseball rankings.
Cherry Creek's athletic department, through its rich history, has claimed 189 state championships — 105 more than any other school. But they have never won it all in girls basketball.
Jack Buckmelter was 4-of-4 from 3-point and scored 26 points to lead No. 6 Denver East to a 69-39 win over No. 11 Fairview in the first round of the Class 5A boys basketball state tournament on Wednesday.
