It's centered in the Mile High City, so it makes sense why the 5280 League chose that specific number, which represents 5,280 feet, or 1 mile. There aren't very many league names with no letters in them, so this one definitely stands out.
Local look: "The 5280 League is a reference to the altitude of Denver, 5,280 feet.
The league is largely Denver metro-area based, comprised of mostly
private schools. The teams compete in Class 1A, the Colorado schools
with the smallest enrollment numbers. The league has had some playoff
success and is riding high this season in boys basketball. League champ
Shining Mountain earned the top seed overall for the state tournament."
