There are plenty of fop-tier players scoring the ball at an impressive clip so far this season. Now that the calendar has turned from 2018 to 2019 and teams have entered conference play, let’s take a look at the leading scorers in Colorado’s Class 3A and how they’re doing it. 1. Jaedon Bowles, 6-6, SF/SG, Manual, 2019, 24.5 ppg The leading scorer in Colorado’s Class 3A, Bowles has a combination of size, skill and athleticism that it unrivaled by most of his peers. He’s scoring nearly 25 points a game but that’s not all. Bowles is putting a line of 9.0 rebounds, 3.6 assists and 1.4 steals while shooting 51 percent from the field and 43 percent from 3-point range. 2. Seth Fuqua, 5-11, G, The Vanguard School, 2019, 24.3 ppg Another senior with balance to his game, Fuqua makes up for his relative lack of height with quickness, hustle and a great feel for affective the game in a number of ways. Not only is he scoring 24.3 points, Fuqua is also averaging 4.4 rebounds, 3.4 assists 2.4 steals per game. 3. James Doyle, 6-3, G, Kent Denver, 2019, 24.0 ppg Doyle’s excellent shooting stroke has been on display throughout Kent Denver’s first eight game and is a major reason the team is undefeated at 8-0. Making roughly 50 percent of his 3-point attempts, Doyle has also used his lengthy and quickness off the floor to block 1.4 shots at the defensive end. 4. Elijah Jones, 5-9, G, Sheridan, 2020, 23.5 ppg Quick hands and quick feet are among Jones’ best weapons and he is using both in 2018-19. With an incredible 4.3 steals a game, Jones’ defense leads to transition baskets and is boosting the undersized guard’s 23.5-point scoring average. 5. Coby Gold, 6-2, G, Kent Denver, 2019, 21.7 ppg Another Kent Denver hooper among the top five scorers in 3A, Gold and Doyle (see above) give the Sun Devils a lethal one-two punch that has the team undefeated at 8-0. The senior guard is sinking an average of 3.4 3-pointers per game.
