The resumes of the players who make up the starting five on the 2025-26 Aurora Sentinel All-Aurora Boys Basketball Team — chosen by the Sentinel in conjunction with balloting of area coaches — is simply elite.
Regis Jesuit senior Eric Fiedler — hailed as the Colorado Gatorade Player of the Year — leads the way on the area’s top five, which also includes a pair of teammates in Rangeview junior Archie Weatherspoon V and sophomore Marceles Duncan (who led the Raiders to the Class 6A semifinals) along with senior Noah Sevy of Grandview and junior Demari Manns Davis of Eaglecrest.

A key contributor in mostly a reserve role as a freshman with Regis Jesuit, Fiedler steadily built a more complete player profile as the seasons went along until he fully blossomed as a senior. The versatile 6-foot-8 Fiedler committed to Colorado State prior to his final campaign, in which he went out and earned the state’s top recognition from Gatorade as well as from the Colorado High School Activities Association for 6A.
In what turned out to be the final season under legendary coach Ken Shaw at Regis Jesuit (in which the Raiders finished 15-10 and lost in the Sweet 16 to Ralston Valley), Fiedler averaged a whopping 29.9 points per game — doing so against the full focus of the opposition given the Raiders’ lack of experience and lack of another double-digit scorer on the roster — and ranked second in 6A in scoring average. His 719 points led the state and gave him 1,909 for his career in 99 games, which pushed him past former star Josh Perkins for Regis Jesuit’s all-time career scoring lead.
Fiedler was the only Aurora area boys player to average a double-double as well as he pulled down 10.4 rebounds per game to rank third in 6A.
Rangeview’s push to the 6A semifinals for a second straight season came behind big seasons from Weatherspoon V and Duncan, who fully assumed lead roles after the graduation of some seasons veterans from last season’s team. Coach Shawn Palmer’s Raiders lost only one time to a team from Colorado and it came in the semifinals to eventual state champion Rock Canyon.
Duncan earned 6A All-State first team honors from CHSAA (as did Fiedler) and also made the All-City League (6A) first team after a special season in which he provided a multitude of highlight reel moments. The 6-foot-5 standout had a penchant for getting to the rim and throwing down dunks, but he also shot a exceptional 44 percent from 3-point range, which helped boost his scoring average to 18 points per game, which ranked fourth among Aurora area players for the season.
Duncan also led his team in rebounding (7.3 per game), steals (2.3 per game) and blocked shots (2.1 per game) and finished second in assists (3.6 per game) while doing a lot of ballhandling for a player his size.
Weatherspoon V finished third in scoring average among Aurora area players with a healthy average of 19.2 points per contest — a rise of nearly six points per game from his sophomore season — as he combined an ability to score from all areas of the court.
Weatherspoon V made the same number of 3-pointers that he did as a sophomore (35), but attacked the rim with great confidence and earned almost double the free throw attempts (134 this season versus 76 last season). He only failed to score in double figures in three games, two in the regular season in which Rangeview still won handily and in the Great 8 against Cherry Creek, where he had eight points in an offensive struggle for all the Raiders. Weatherspoon V — a CHSAA second team All-State performer and City League (6A) first team pick —also led Rangeview with 3.7 assists per game and was second in steals at 1.6 per contest.
An outstanding season for coach Ryan Turk’s Grandview team was fueled by the contributions of many, but with Sevy as the fulcrum.
Sevy’s seven-point burst in the final minute helped lift the Wolves (18-8) to a 6A Sweet 16 road upset of No. 4 Arvada West and he provided a significant challenge with his blend of size at 6-foot-6 and shooting ability. He ranked sixth among all Aurora area scorers with an average of 14.1 points per game, which was a bump of nearly six full points from the previous season.
Sevy had a season-high 29 points before winter break and six times broke the 20-point barrier in a game, while the All-Centennial League first teamer and CHSAA All-State honorable mention pick also pulled down 5.3 rebounds per game to easily lead his team.
In the aftermath of winning the state championship in 2024-25, Eaglecrest experienced a lot of turnover, but had back a key contributor in Manns Davis.
The incredibly athletic 6-foot-3 Davis exploded offensively, as his scoring averaged jumped from 2.8 points per game last season (when he played in a reserve role) all the way to 16.2, which put him fifth among local players. He scored a career-high 32 points at the Tarkanian Classic in Las Vegas and capped the season with 25 in a 6A playoff loss to Liberty.
Manns Davis — an All-Centennial League first teamer— also averaged a team-high 5.3 rebounds per game as well as 2.0 assists and 1.6 steals for coach Jarris Krapcha’s Raptors, who finished 17-7.
