Kent Grams is All-Colorado boys basketball Coach of the Year after leading Rock Canyon to first title
Kent Grams, the head coach of Rock Canyon's boys basketball team, has been named the 2026 All-Colorado boys hoops Coach of the Year after leading his team to their first Class 6A championship victory. The Jaguars won the title despite being considered the least talented team in the Final Four, with Grams' leadership and team chemistry playing a crucial role in their success.
Rock Canyon's boys basketball team won their first Class 6A championship under coach Kent Grams. The team lacked star power but triumphed with their complete team makeup, winning all three games at the Denver Coliseum by double-digits. Grams was a key player on ThunderRidge's first title team in 2002. He delivered on his promise to shut down Wheat Ridge's star player in the championship game. Fast forward to 2026, Grams' star player Jacob David made a similar proclamation, saying 'We got this' during a fourth-quarter timeout. The Jaguars avenged an earlier loss to Chaparral in the Final Four, beating them 75-60 before topping Ralston Valley 68-58 in the final. Grams' team was led by David, but other players like Davis May, Cooper Ellwood, and Kai Valentine also played critical roles.
