CHSAA first launched live scoring during the regional rounds.
Rangeview is Class 5A soccer’s lone remaining unbeaten and untied team. And the Raiders (9-0-0) are now No. 1 in this week’s CHSAANow.com boys soccer poll.
Rangeview moved up from No. 4 to claim the top spot. Grandview is second this week, moving up from fifth following a 3-0-0 week which included a 4-1 win over the-No. 1 Cherry Creek.
The 5A poll added three new teams this week: No. 7 Fairview, No. 9 Aurora Central and No. 10 Highlands Ranch.
No. 7 Poudre, No. 9 Pine Creek and No. 10 Montbello all cracked the ranking this week.
"This," said one 5A voter, "is getting messy."
There’s also a new No. 1 team in 4A, where Air Academy takes over. That ranking added Valor Christian (No. 7) and Denver North (No. 10).
Likewise, Colorado Academy takes over atop the 3A poll this week.
Complete polls for all classes are below.

The weekend’s turmoil has bled over into CHSAANow.com’s football polls.
Though, when a total of 17 ranked teams lose in a week — including the No. 1s in classes 5A, 4A and 3A — it’s not hard to see change coming. So, yes, there are new teams atop 5A (Valor Christian), 4A (Montrose) and 3A (Rifle).
But the change didn’t only affect the top. In 5A, where three of the top four teams lost last week, that meant Chatfield, Fairview, Cherokee Trail and Regis Jesuit all made big jumps.
Valor Christian leads the 5A poll for the second time this season. The Eagles are 4-1, but unbeaten against Colorado competition this season, and received 21 of the 24 first-place votes.
Chatfield moved up to No. 2 from No. 5, Fairview went from No. 7 to No. 3 and Cherokee Trail moved into fourth from sixth. Regis Jesuit, which last week knocked off then-No. 1 ThunderRidge, went from No. 9 to No. 5.
ThunderRidge dropped to sixth, and is followed by Grandview and Cherry Creek.
The 5A poll added two new teams this week: No. 9 Pomona and No. 10 Arapahoe.
In 4A, Montrose takes over following its come-from-behind win over then-No. 1 Monarch. The Indians were a unanimous No. 1 pick, getting all 21 first-place votes.
Falcon is No. 2 this week, and Monarch dropped to No. 3. Loveland stayed at No. 4, Montbello moved up one place to round out the top-5.
Pueblo Centennial (No. 9) and Longmont (No. 10) are 4A’s newcomers this week.
Rifle takes over atop the 3A ranking following Silver Creek’s loss to Frederick. New to 3A this week are Mead (No. 7) and D’Evelyn (No. 10).
Brush continued to lead 2A’s poll, which added Bennett at No. 10.
Likewise, Buena Vista remained atop in 1A. That poll added Paonia (No. 8) and Jefferson (No. 9). Jefferson’s addition is especially noteworthy because the Saints were a combined 3-85 from 2004-12.
Complete rankings for all classes are below.

Monarch, atop 4A, lost to No. 2 Montrose in a wild game, 39-34. And 3A Silver Creek was taken down 31-28 on a last-second field goal from Frederick.
“They believed in themselves and were able to play as one unit and we were able to come up with a big win,” Frederick coach Thad Lear told ColoradoPreps.com’s Built Ford Tough Scoreboard Show on Friday night.
Frederick trailed 14-0 in its game but was able to cut things to 14-7 before the half. Then, the Warriors scored on their first possession in the second half to make it 14-13.
“We missed the PAT, but the kids were excited, they believed in one another and they never let up,” Lear told the Scoreboard Show. “They never stopped.”
Frederick would eventually take a 28-21 lead before Silver Creek tied things at 28-all with 1:28 remaining. That set the stage for one more drive — and the game-winning 30-yard field goal from sophomore Dalton Nelson.
“They tried a pooch kick and we were able to get the ball on the 30, and we decided to run the ball a few times to see where we could get it to,” Lear told the Scoreboard Show. “We got a first down and completed a couple of short passes, and we had a couple of timeouts. … I think it ended up being a 30-yard field goal and we were excited to have the opportunity.
“I can’t say enough about our kids, and our kicker, he stepped in. He’s a sophomore, first year playing football, and he kicked the game-winner.”

Monarch marched down and regained the lead at 34-32 with 3:47 to go, but it was short-lived. Montrose countered with a scoring drive, and took the lead at 39-34. Monarch had one final drive, but fell just short deep in Montrose territory. Read a full recap of the game here.

LAFAYETTE — It was a back-and-forth affair between Class 4A’s top-ranked Monarch and No. 2 Montrose on Friday night. Ultimately, Montrose escaped with the upset win.
Monarch, which headed this week’s CHSAANow.com football poll in 4A, dominated the first half only to see the second-ranked Indians come roaring back in the second to win and break the defending 4A state champion’s 15-game winning streak 39-34 at Warrior Field in Lafayette.
Battling wet weather leading up to and throughout the game, the visiting Indians remain unbeaten at 6-0, while Monarch falls to 3-1.
It would be a fair statement to say that the Coyotes dominated the first half, taking a 21-6 lead into the locker room. Monarch jumped out to a 21-0 lead, starting at 7:10 in the first when quarterback Jay McIntyre hit tight end Paden Padula with a seven-yard pass. Patrick Nasiatka’s point after kick made it 7-0.
Monarch scored again at 9:57 in the second on an Ethan Marks four-yard run. Nasiatka’s PAT made it 14-0. Another stop by the Coyote defense gave Monarch’s offense another shot and Kidd Soole’s 55-yard run up the middle, along with the Nasiatka PAT, put the home team up 21-0 at the 7:40 mark in the second frame.
Montrose finally got on the board with just 1:28 left in the second quarter when quarterback Kameron DeVincentis hit wide receiver Peter Shearer with a 10-yard pass. Monarch blocked the extra point attempt and went into the locker room up 21-6.
On its first possession of the third quarter, Montrose started chipping away at the Monarch defense until senior Angelo Youngren ripped off a 57-yard run for a score. For the second time in the game, the Montrose PAT attempt was blocked, so the Indians trailed 21-12.
The teams traded possessions until with just under four minutes in the quarter, Montrose mounted a drive from its own 20 and moved down the field until Youngren slipped away from the Cotyote defense for a 30-yard touchdown run. The Indians’ two-point conversation try was stopped short, so with 2:16, Monarch held a 21-18 lead. That lasted all of 16 seconds, when, after the kickoff, Monarch held a one-play 70-yard drive, with Braden Pape taking a McIntyre hand off straight up the middle of the field for a touchdown. Nasiatka’s PAT gave Monarch a 10-point lead heading into the fourth quarter, 28-18.
Montrose responded with a long drive and Mike Rocha capped it off with an eight-yard run at 10:04. Luca Ruiz-Diaz added the extra point and the Indians were within three at 28-25. Montrose coach Rodd Casebier called an onsides kick and the Indians covered the attempt, giving them a shot at taking the lead. After a couple of first downs, Rocha burst off right side for 31 yards and Ruiz-Diaz added the PAT giving Montrose a 32-28 lead, its first of the game.
Monarch responded with a 63-yard drive capped by a touchdown when Marks caught a 16-yard strike from McIntyre to lift the Coyotes back in front 34-32 after a missed PAT.
The Indians got the ball back with 3:46 remaining and the ball its own 34. Youngren, Rocha and DeVientis and the Montrose rushing game took over. The Indians rode the slashing style running of Youngren, along with the power of Rocha to move down the field, taking time off the clock until Youngren rolled of right side for a one yard score at the 37.4 mark. Ruiz-Diaz hit the PAT and Montrose led 39-34.
Monarch was not going to give up its unbeaten streak that easily. After a short kickoff and the ball on its own 45, the Coyotes completed a 24-yard pass from McIntyre to Sam Lehman. Poised on the Indians 39, McIntyre saw his first attempt fall just out of reach of his receiver off the left side. On second down, Soole broke open over the middle but the pass fell just short at the goal line. Another incompletion to make it fourth down with 13.9 seconds left, McIntyre went back to pass, evaded several Montrose defenders, before hitting Marks with a 21-yard pass. Unfortunately, several linemen had headed downfield prior to the pass and the play was called back.
After the penalty and with just 0.3 seconds left, McIntyre fired off a Hail Mary that was knocked away in the end zone, ending the game and giving Montrose the upset win.
There were a number of heroes on both sides of the ball. For the Indians, Youngren had 220 yards on 26 carries and three touchdowns. He was limited to 45 yards in the first half but exploded to lead Montrose in the second. Rocha added 110 yards and a score on 20 carries, while DeVicentis had 17 yards on five carries, Nick Foster had 21 on a pair of totes and Shearer added another six yards on the ground.
DeVincentis was just two of seven passing for 20 yards, but one was the touchdown to Shearer who also caught his second completion.
For the home team, Marks ran for 140 yards on 26 carries, Soole added 122 yards on 14 carries and McIntyre ran 14 times for 64 yards. Pape ran for 82 yards on four carries. Marks, Soole and Pape all scored a TD rushing.
McIntyre was five of nine passing for 66 yards and two touchdowns. Padula caught two passes for 17 yards, CT Wristen one pass for nine, Marks one for nine and Lehman one for 24 yards. Padula and Marks both had scoring catches.
For the coaches, Casebier now has a 65-32 career coaching record, while Monarch head coach Phil Bravo is 138-17.
AURORA — No. 9 Regis Jesuit led from the outset and was up 28-0 at the half en route to taking down No. 1 ThunderRidge 35-12 on Friday.
Lakewood’s one-take lip dub of Katy Perry’s new single, “Roar,” is inching closer to 500,000 views as of Friday morning. The Tigers are hoping all the attention can help the school win a contest and bring Perry to Colorado for a concert benefiting victims of this month’s widespread flooding.
Lakewood High School’s video, which involved more than 2,000 students and spotlights the Tigers’ activities, athletic teams and clubs, was produced by students and teachers — including student body president Courtney Coddington, who directed it.
“We practiced for maybe 90 minutes,” athletic director Tim Walker said on Friday. “We did it during homeroom so it didn’t really impact education at all. … All of the clubs and groups were involved.
“We went through a couple of practices on Monday, Tuesday and Thursday. Friday, everyone lined up, and we said we were doing it — and, bam. It was on our homecoming assembly day, so we went to the assembly and then everyone went to their spot and we did the take.”
Take a look:
A one-take lip dub involving the whole school is nothing new to Lakewood. The school lip dubbed Perry’s song “Firework” in 2011.
“We wanted to do another one, and this song came out, ‘Roar,’ ” Walker said. “It fits us perfectly, because we’re the Tigers.”
Earlier this month, ABC’s Good Morning America announced a contest for schools to perform “your own rendition of ‘Roar’ for a chance to win … a live concert” by Katy Perry. Lakewood started plans for the new video.
“Then, the flood happened,” Walker said. “We were very well aware of that because Fairview was our homecoming football game, and we changed our game to Saturday afternoon instead of Friday afternoon because Fairview couldn’t practice and they wanted to change the game, and that was the least we could do for them.
“So, it turned into, ‘OK, we’re going to do this lip dub, and if we win, we’ll do a huge concert at Coors Field or something, and all the proceeds will go to the flood victims.’
“We’re hoping that we can win the contest and do something more than just a lip dub, but something for people in Boulder and other kids that have been displaced and suffering.”
The school collected $1,500 to benefit flood victims during that homecoming game against Fairview.
“It’s just one of those things where we’re trying to do the right thing,” Walker said. “It’s really neat to see the kids really care about other people and other kids and being part of the human race and not just thinking about themselves and their school. And that if we’re in a position where we can do things for other people and other schools, we’d sure like to.”
Friday morning alone, the video was shown on Good Morning America and Lakewood representatives appeared on Alice 105.9 and Fox 31. It’s been picked up by seemingly every media outlet locally, as well as national outlets like the Huffington Post, and spread through social media on Facebook, Twitter and reddit.
Perry herself Tweeted the video out and also posted it to her Facebook page.
Good Morning American will announce the winner on Oct. 10, Walker said. The concert would be Oct. 25.
