  • Douglas County joins 5A football poll following big upset

    (Kay Livingstone)
    Douglas County is ranked sixth in this week’s 5A poll. (Kay Livingstone)

    Douglas County took down then-No. 3 Cherry Creek on Monday night. Tuesday afternoon, the Huskies find themselves ranked.

    Douglas County jumped into this week’s CHSAANow.com football poll in 5A at No. 6. It is the first time this season the Huskies have been ranked.

    Cherry Creek, meanwhile, dropped all the way out in something of a surprise.

    Cherokee Trail returned to the 5A ranking following a week on the outside looking in. The Cougars are eighth.

    ThunderRidge held on to 5A’s top spot — but only narrowly. The Grizzles edged No. 2 Valor Christian by two overall points, despite beating then-No. 4 Grandview last week.

    Columbine bumped up to third from fifth, and Ralston Valley went from sixth to fourth. Regis Jesuit rounds out the top five.

    Chatfield is No. 7, Fairview is No. 9, and Grandview dropped from No. 4 to No. 10 following its loss to ThunderRidge.

    Monarch continued to lead the 4A poll, which added Montbello for the first time this season, at ninth. Along with Denver South (No. 2 in 4A) and Denver West (No. 9 in 2A), it means Denver Public Schools has three ranked schools.

    Complete rankings for all classes are below.

  • Valor Volleyball vs. Evergreen

    On a rainy Thursday night, Evergreen journeyed to Valor to duel with an undefeated Valor girl’s varsity team. Although the game started out slow for the Eagles, the girls pulled out a 25-21 win in the first. They played harder in the second and started out with a lead as Junior libero Savannah Cressman served 15 consecutive serves, helping bring them to a 25-13 win. Freshman setter Delaney Thome and Junior Varsity setter, Emily Potter, who was brought up to play with Varsity, played a consistent second set to help the Eagles defeat the Evergreen Cougars. Due to a lack of communication, Valor fell in the third set, allowing Evergreen to take a 25-17 win.

    The Eagles regained their confidence and momentum and played aggressive to win in the fourth. Junior Middle, Cassidy Wurth, led the offense and helped Valor defeat the Cougars. Overall, Valor played a steady game and defended their undefeated record. The Freshman team played  with confidence and beat the Cougars in an exciting match adding a win to their record as well. Although Sub-Varsity dropped the first set to the Cougars, they came back to win the next second. They defeated them again in the third in a tight match.

    Junior Varsity played exceptional and took out the Evergreen Junior Varsity team in two. The entire Evergreen volleyball program showed hard work as they never gave up. Both teams demonstrated good sportsmanship towards their opponent allowing the matches to run smoothly. All four Valor teams played well and the girls are ready to take on Golden on this coming Tuesday.
