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.

In this episode of the Colorado High School Basketball Podcast, host Matt Langley interviews former high school and college basketball player Caydrick Bloomquist to explore how high school basketball develops mental toughness, resilience, and elite performance skills that transfer to life after sports.
Caydrick grew up in Emporia, Kansas in a basketball culture built on the xitZone mentality—a philosophy focused on pushing beyond comfort zones, performing under fatigue, and building discipline through accountability. That mindset helped shape his journey from high school basketball to college athletics, becoming an All-American pole vaulter, and later working in sports performance, mindset training, and human performance consulting with Olympians, tactical athletes, and military populations.
This episode discusses:
- How high school basketball builds mental toughness and resilience
- The XitZone philosophy and its seven core principles
- Why learning to perform while fatigued creates a competitive edge
- How mindset training improves confidence, focus, and consistency
- Lessons from basketball that apply to school, careers, and life challenges
- Why today’s athletes must train their mindset as much as their physical skills
Perfect for high school basketball players, coaches, parents, trainers, and educators, this episode explains why basketball is one of the best tools for developing work ethic, leadership, emotional control, and long-term success—both on and off the court.

Regis Jesuit star Eric Fiedler, the preseason No. 1 player on the All-Basketball Colorado list and CSU commit, joins the show for a deep, honest, and surprisingly funny conversation about his rise to the top of Colorado high school basketball.
Eric opens up about his dramatic transformation from a 260-pound freshman “baseball guy” into one of the most skilled forwards in the region. He shares how AAU with Mountain Stars reshaped his game, what it meant to earn Under Armour Circuit MVP, and why CSU head coach Ali Farokhmanesh was the biggest factor in his college decision.
We also dive into:
• His toughest matchups and favorite gyms to play in
• Why Regis vs. Rock Canyon and Regis vs. Chaparral are must-see battles
• The story behind giving up baseball—yes, including the window-shattering injury
• His relationship with Colorado’s other top players, including Madden Smiley and Drew
It’s a candid, insightful look at the work, belief, and moments that built one of the state’s most exciting seniors. If you follow Colorado hoops, this is a must-listen.

In this conversation, host Matt Langley sits down with longtime friend, media voice, and Colorado hoops staple Dev Johnson. Dev shares the full arc of his basketball journey—from playing for Mike Rogers at George Washington High School and reaching the state championship, to discovering sports media at UNC, landing an unexpected ESPN Denver internship, and eventually becoming a defining voice at DNVR Sports.
Dev talks about the coaches who shaped him, the moments that pushed him, and how his deep love for basketball has guided every step—from covering the Nuggets through the Jokic era to returning to the high school scene with Prep Hoops. He and Matt revisit old stories, break down how Dev evaluates players today, and reflect on how basketball can change a life on and off the court.
A heartfelt, funny, and insightful episode to close out the preseason and kick off another year of Colorado high school hoops.

As high school basketball season tips off in Colorado, host Matt Langley of Basketball Colorado sits down with former Colorado prep standout Aiden Haas — now an author and former Division I athlete — to talk about his new book "So You Wanna Play College Sports?"
Aiden shares the unfiltered truth behind the college athlete experience: from injuries, redshirts, and mental health challenges to the lessons learned about discipline, teamwork, and life beyond the game. He opens up about the moment he realized college athletics is a business, what it’s really like to rehab while the team moves on, and how those experiences shaped his outlook on sports and success.
Whether you’re a high school athlete, coach, or parent, this conversation is a must-listen for anyone thinking about taking their game to the next level.

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.
