BOULDER — It’s time to place Overland in Colorado history. The Trailblazers, who won their second consecutive Class 5A championship late Saturday night at the Coors Events Center, fended off nearby Aurora rival Eaglecrest 66-56.

Overland coach Danny Fisher, who won as a player with Hinkley in 1994 said, “It’s way better as a coach.”

It was the Aurora area’s sixth title since 2009. And Overland, which won its 10th consecutive postseason game, capped the season at 25-3 and on a 13-game winning streak. All told, with Indiana signee De’Ron Davis on the roster, the Trailblazers, who began the season top-ranked in The Associated Press’ 5A media poll, were 83-25 over four seasons.

And who are these guys? The 6-foot-9 Davis grew up under plenty of watchful eyes in Colorado and elsewhere and probably was the state’s best rim protector in years. Others in the starting five included two sound guards, Reggie Gibson at the point and Jervae Robinson, plus Wyoming football signee Alijah Halliburton. Add in sixth man Padiet Wang to other athletes, and the Danny Fisher-coached Trailblazers could outman most teams on talent, and not just in the past season.

One other cool item: For Overland, it was all about defense, and lots of it.

As it was, Davis overcame early foul trouble, the Trailblazers re-established order in the third quarter and their title trot was on.

“I’m more mature this year and my teammates got the job done without me, they won it for us,” Davis said.

Eaglecrest, which tied Overland as the regular-season champion of the Centennial League, was in its second final and finished 25-3.

“Overland’s really good … (The Trailblazers) shot it really well tonight (23-of-47),” Eaglecrest coach John Olander said, “and if they shoot it well they’re almost impossible to beat.”

At the outset, it appeared Overland was going to run Eaglecrest off the floor. The Trailblazers quickly made it a 10-2, another quick start, as had been their norm in the playoffs, only to run into a couple of roadblocks, a result of Davis getting his second foul late in the first quarter and then his third seconds into the second. He fouled out with 3:24 to play and Overland ahead by 13.

Behind dynamic junior guard Colbey Ross, who scored 14 of his team’s first 19 points, Eaglecrest, as it has done all season, clawed back when trailing. It gradually got within a point, then went into the locker room at halftime content to be trailing only 26-23.

But the Trailblazers’ third-quarter surge proved to be enough with Robinson and Tyler Stevenson carrying a lot of the load, and they walked off the University of Colorado court and into local history, occupying a prominent place.

“It feels really good and very relieving,” Fisher said.
