  • Baseball rankings: 4A rankings shaken up from top to bottom

    For the fourth consecutive week, the top team in the Class 4A CHSAANow.com baseball rankings has failed to hold on to its spot.

    Mountain View is the new No. 1 team in the poll, and is the third different team in 4A to be ranked No. 1 this season.

    They dropped a heartbreaker to Northridge on Wednesday before taking two games from Greeley Central in three days.

    Fresh off taking control of the South Central League last Wednesday, the Pueblo West Cyclones climb to No. 2 and appear poised to make a run at state championship.

    Valor Christian made a sizable jump this week, landing at No. 4, five spots up from its ranking a week ago.

    Longmont breaks into the top-10 at No. 6, one spot higher than Windsor who is also new to the poll.

    Pine Creek remains the top team in 5A and have still only lost once on the year. Grandview and ThunderRidge trade places at No. 2 and No. 3.

    Fort Collins (No. 6) and Regis Jesuit (No. 7) each climb three spots from last week’s rankings.

    Legacy and Dakota Ridge are the two new teams in 5A, coming in at No. 8 and No. 10 respectively.

    Eaton remains the unanimous No. 1 team in 3A and have yet to yield their ranking at any time this season.

    University made the climb from No. 5 to No. 2 after an impressive week where they went 5-0, including two wins over league rival Brush.

    St. Mary’s jumped to No. 5 thanks in part of splitting a double-header with No. 3 Lamar on Friday.

    Sheridan is the lone newcomer to 3A, landing at No. 9.

    Paonia took six of 10 first-place votes to remain the No. 1 team in 2A. Swink made the biggest jump in the class, coming in three spots better than last week. The Lions land at No. 4 this week.

    There were no new teams in the 2A poll this week.

    There was no change at the top of the 1A poll as Granada remains the No. 1 team. The top five teams from last week held on to their position.

    Genoa-Hugo is the only new team in the 1A poll, coming in at No. 8 this week.

    The rankings, voted upon by coaches and select media members, are the official polls of the Association. During the regular season, they are released each Monday.

    Complete rankings for all classes are below.

  • Baseball rankings: Three new No. 1 teams in the polls, including Pine Creek atop 5A

    Three out of the five No. 1 positions in the CHSAANow.com baseball rankings have a different look from a week ago.

    Pine Creek takes over as the top team in Class 5A, Silver Creek returns to the top spot in 4A and Granada comes in as the new No. 1 team in 1A.

    The Eagles take over as No. 1 in 5A after beating Palmer 10-0 last week, avenging a loss to the Terrors that occurred only days earlier. It is the only loss of the season for Pine Creek.

    ThunderRidge is nipping right at the heels of the Eagles as they sit only nine points back in voting. The Grizzlies took down Douglas County last Wednesday in a big Continental League win.

    Lakewood (No. 7) and Cherokee Trail (No. 8) are the new additions to the 5A rankings this week.

    Silver Creek takes back the top spot in 4A only a week after losing a grasp on the position. The Raptors went 2-0 last week, topping Northridge and Longmont to improve their record to 9-2 overall.

    The bottom half of the rankings saw an influx of new teams as Northridge comes in at No. 7, Pueblo South lands at No. 8 and Palmer Ridge rounds out the rankings at No. 10.

    The still-undefeated Eaton Reds remain the unanimous No. 1 team in 3A this week.

    St. Mary’s is the only new team to that poll coming off a double-header sweep of La Junta on Friday. The Pirates come in at No. 8 this week.

    Paonia edged out Sedgwick County by three points to remain the No. 1 team in 2A this week. Akron and Dayspring Christian are the new additions in 2A, coming in at No. 9 and No. 10 respectively.

    A 10-6 win over then No. 1 Holly on Friday was good enough to boost Granada to the top spot in the 1A poll.

    Manzanola was able to break into the rankings at No. 6 while Stratton/Liberty is the other new addition, coming in at No. 10.

    The rankings, voted upon by coaches and select media members, are the official polls of the Association. During the regular season, they are released each Monday.

  • Baseball rankings: Chatfield takes over as No. 1 in 5A

    Chatfield was the big benefactor of two Regis Jesuit losses last week.

    The Chargers come into this week as the new No. 1 team in the Class 5A CHSAANow.com baseball poll. Monday they topped Arapahoe, and had a huge Thursday showdown with the then No. 1 Raiders.

    Regis Jesuit was coming off a loss to Fairview and was looking to bounce back, but a seven-run sixth inning for the Chargers was good enough to get the win. As a result, despite losing to Bear Creek on Saturday, Chatfield sits atop the 5A rankings.

    ThunderRidge made the most impressive jump of the week to land at No. 2. They were the No. 9 team in last week’s poll.

    Fort Collins has played well enough that it broke into the rankings this week at No. 9 respectively.

    The 4A rankings also saw a new No. 1 team emerge as D’Evelyn reclaims the top spot that Silver Creek had taken a week ago.

    There were two new teams in the 4A poll as Mountain View comes in at No. 5 and Pueblo Centennial rounds out the rankings at No. 10.

    The Eaton Reds remain undefeated on the year and also remain the No. 1 team in the 3A poll. The top four teams from a week ago held on to their spot this week.

    The Academy was the only new team to break into the 3A rankings, landing at No. 10.

    Paonia swept all four games they played last week to hold on to their No. 1 ranking in 2A.

    Front Range Christian, who remains undefeated on the year at 8-0, breaks into the 2A polls at No. 9. The Falcons were the only newcomer this week.

    Holly is still the No. 1 team in 1A, getting five of nine first-place votes.

    Fleming jumped two spots to land at No. 2 and Gilpin County is the only new team in the 1A poll, landing at No. 8.

    The rankings, voted upon by coaches and select media members, are the official polls of the Association. During the regular season, they are released each Monday.

  • Baseball rankings: Three new No. 1 teams take over

    Three new No. 1 teams were crowned this week in the CHSAANow.com baseball rankings.

    Silver Creek now stands atop the Class 4A poll, Paonia takes over as the top 2A team and Holly comes at No. 1 in the 1A rankings.

    With new teams breaking into every poll this week, the rankings have a much different look to them than they did when the last new set was released two weeks ago.

    Silver Creek made the most impressive jump out of any other team, regardless of classification. Two weeks ago, the Raptors held the No. 7 position in 4A and after rattling off three wins in Arizona, the voters saw enough to boost their position.

    Canon City, Pueblo East and Valor Christian also had solid outings since spring break and played their way in the rankings. Canon City lands at No. 3, Pueblo East comes in at No. 4 and Valor Christian takes over the No. 7 spot that Silver Creek held in the previous rankings.

    Regis Jesuit remains the top team in 5A.

    Ralston Valley gained ground in this week’s poll, jumping from No. 9 to No. 6.

    Douglas County, ThunderRidge and Heritage join the 5A rankings at No. 8, No. 9 and No. 10 respectively.

    Eaton may still be the top team in 3A, but it’s No. 2 Bayfield who suddenly getting attention from voters. The Wolverines completed a successful road trip to Colorado Springs where they held on to beat St. Mary’s before holding off Lamar and Manitou Springs in a double-header.

    Kent Denver was the lone addition to the 3A poll at No. 9.

    Paonia’s 8-0 start to the season was good enough for the Eagles to jump three spots and take over the No. 1 spot in 2A. They swept former No. 1 Resurrection Christian in a double-header on Saturday.

    The Cougars fell to No. 5 as a result.

    Rocky Ford (No. 6) and Limon (No. 10) joined the 2A rankings this week.

    Holly made the two-spot jump after a 2-1 start to their season to become the new No. 1 team in 1A.

    Granada, who was ranked No. 7 in the previous rankings, also made a significant jump this week as the Bobcats come in at No. 2.

    Rocky Mountain Lutheran and Briggsdale are the two new teams to the 1A rankings, coming in at No. 7 and No. 8 respectively.

    The rankings, voted upon by coaches and select media members, are the official polls of the Association. During the regular season, they are released each Monday.

  • Baseball rankings: Eads new No. 1 in Class 1A poll

    It’s still early in the 2016 baseball season, but there has already been some shakeup in the Class 1A CHSAANow.com baseball rankings.

    Eads takes over the top spot in the state after a 1-0 start to their season. Former No. 1 Dove Creek, who has stumbled out of the gate fell to No. 2.

    Cotopaxi and Manzanola played their way into the still young rankings, coming in at No. 6 and No. 9 respectively.

    Nothing has changed at the top of the 5A rankings as Regis Jesuit and Cherry Creek remain the No. 1 and No. 2 teams in those rankings.

    Columbine is one of two newcomers in the poll as they land at No. 8 with Ralston Valley, the other newcomer, joining at No. 9.

    The top of the 4A rankings has the same story as the 5A poll. D’Evelyn and Lewis-Palmer remain the No. 1 and No. 2 teams in the class, with both teams undefeated on the year.

    Though, the 4A rankings did see more turnover this week than any other class as Silver Creek (No. 7), Denver North (No. 8) and Air Academy (No. 9) all broke their way into this week’s poll.

    And it was 3A who saw the least turnover of the week. Eaton still holds the No. 1 spot, but nine of last week’s 10 ranked teams all stayed in the poll this week, although a few did jump up or down in ranking.

    Buena Vista is the lone newcomer in the poll, coming in at No. 10.

    The rankings, voted upon by coaches and select media members, are the official polls of the Association. During the regular season, they are released each Monday.

    Complete rankings for all classes are below.

  • Football rankings: Bayfield moves to the top of 2A

    (Pam Wagner/CHSAANow.com)
    Bayfield is the No. 1 team in 2A this week. (Pam Wagner/CHSAANow.com)

    There’s a new No. 1 in the CHSAANow.com Class 2A football rankings. After a convincing 41-7 win over Alamosa, Bayfield comes in at the top spot of this week’s poll.

    The rest of the 2A rankings are relatively unchanged as no teams dropped out this week. Despite a 41-13 win over Brush, Sterling was unable to gain any spots, but look very dangerous as the No. 6 team in 2A.

    Columbine held on to the top spot in the 5A rankings with an impressive 31-7 win over Chatfield Friday. The big surprise in 5A comes with Grandview’s jump from No. 4 to No. 2, overtaking Valor Christian, which won a physical 10-0 game against Cherry Creek on Friday night.

    The Wolves and Eagles will play this coming Friday with the Centennial League title up for grabs. That game is scheduled for a 8 p.m. kick and Altitude will carry the broadcast.

    Fresh off a 41-3 win over Durango, Pine Creek comes in as the unanimous No. 1 team in 4A. The top four teams from last week were able to hold their positions.

    Denver South and Wheat Ridge both made their way into this week’s top 10 with the Rebels coming in at No. 9 and the Farmers taking the No. 10 spot. Wheat Ridge topped Aurora Central 37-14 Friday.

    There were very few changes to the 3A poll this week. Pueblo East remains in the top spot after a 36-21 win over The Classical Academy.

    TCA fell one spot as a result of the loss and Mean moved up to No. 9.

    Buena Vista holds on to the No. 1 in 1A this week and the rankings overall went unchanged from a week ago.

    In 8-man, Sedgwick County remains at No. 1 after a 44-18 win over No. 5 Dayspring Christian Academy. Vail Christian jumped two spots to No. 7 and Hohne is the lone newcomer to this week’s poll.

    Fleming is still the No. 1 team in 6-man. No newcomers were added to this week’s rankings, but Peetz did fall two spots to No. 7 despite a 55-13 win over Weldon Valley.

    The rankings, voted upon by coaches and select media members, are the official polls of the Association. Polls are released each Monday.

    Complete rankings are below.
