The two philosopher kings of Colorado prep hoops, with 17 state championships and nearly 1,800 victories between them, crossed paths in a quiet corner of the Denver Coliseum, far from view of an amped-up crowd buzzing in anticipation of the biggest game of the season. Denver East coach Rudy Carey clasped his hands, bent at the waist like a samurai and respectfully bowed his head toward the heart of Denver Christian legend Dick Katte. Sixty minutes prior to tipoff of the Class 6A championship game between East and Fossil Ridge on Saturday, Katte told Carey: “Go do good, young man.” Then with the calm of a basketball Yoda, Katte reassured Carey: “I know you will do well.” Led by the gravity-defying drives of D’Aundre Samuels and the pure-as-falling-snow jump shot of Jack Greenwood, East then went out and ran a very good Fossil Ridge team into the ground, winning 82-61. Well, could you kindly give me a rewrite of the Colorado prep history book? While eavesdropping on the conversation between Katte and Carey an hour before tip between the Angels and Sabercats, it turns out I didn’t give those two graybeards, with nearly a century of spectacular success between them, quite enough credit.
