    St. Mary’s has taken over the top spot of the Class 3A girls basketball rankings.

    The Pirates notched a win on Friday night, taking down rival (and No. 10) Manitou Springs, impressing enough voters to move up from their previous spot at No. 2.

    They take the spot from Sterling who falls to No. 2.

    Only one new team broke into the 3A poll as Olathe comes in at No. 8.

    In 5A, Grandview hangs on to the top spot while receiving the news that Michaela Onyenwere was named a McDonald’s All-American.

    Highlands Ranch jumps one spot to land at No. 2.

    At No. 10, Rocky Mountain is the only newcomer to the 5A poll.

    Pueblo South keeps the No. 1 spot in 4A with Evergreen also holding firm at No. 2.

    Mesa Ridge made a three-spot jump to land at No. 4 this week.

    Palisade (No. 9) and Windsor (No. 10) are the two new teams in the 4A rankings.

    Paonia received 16 of 17 first-place votes to keep the top spot in the 2A rankings. At No. 6 and No. 8, respectively, Lyons and Swink each jumped two spots from a week ago.

    There were no new teams in the 2A poll.

    The same situation applies to the 1A poll as all 10 teams from a week ago remain in the top 10, with just a tweak here and there.

    Kit Carson remains at No. 1, but Antonito takes the No. 2 spot from Fleming who falls one spot to No. 3.

    South Baca (No. 6) and Kiowa (No. 7) also traded spots from last weeks rankings.

    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.

    (Dan Mohrmann/CHSAANow.com)

    Pueblo South is the team to beat in the Class 4A girls basketball rankings. At least for this week.

    The Colts are the new No. 1 team in the 4A poll, uprooting Evergreen, which fell one spot to No. 2.

    Other Pueblo-area schools shot up the rankings as well with Pueblo East coming in at No. 4 and Pueblo West going from unranked to No. 6.

    Grandview holds its spot at No. 1 in the 5A poll, taking all 15 first-place votes.

    Doherty made a significant climb, land three spots better at No. 5.

    Fossil Ridge rounds out the rankings at No. 10 and is the only new team in the 5A poll.

    Sterling and St. Mary’s each remain undefeated and have yet to relinquish their spots at No. 1 and No. 2 in 3A. 

    The Pirates looked strong in a win over Lamar on Friday and Sterling was able to edge out No. 10 Manitou Springs on Saturday.

    Liberty Common made a four-spot jump to land at No. 3 this week. There are no new teams in the 3A poll.

    Paonia is still the unanimous No. 1 team in 2A. There were no significant jumps this week, but Del Norte (No. 4), Haxtun (No. 5), Evangelical Christian (No. 7) and Highland (No. 9) are all one position better than the previous rankings. 

    There are no new teams in the 2A poll.

    Kit Carson remains the No. 1 team in 1A with Fleming and Antonio also holding strong at No. 2 and No. 3 respectively.

    South Baca improved by two spots to land at No. 7.

    La Veta (No. 8), Briggsdale (No. 9) and Holly (No. 10) are the three new teams to crack the 1A rankings.

    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.

  • Girls basketball rankings: Grandview, Valor Christian among preseason favorites

    Grandview girls basketball team
    (Matt Mathewes/MVPSportsPics.com)

    It appears that defending girls basketball state champions are going to have their work cut out for them in 2016-17.

    Only Valor Christian comes in as a No. 1 team in the CHSAANow.com preseason girls basketball rankings as a team who also finished the season hoisting a state championship trophy.

    The Eagles won their second-straight Class 4A title last year, beating league rival Evergreen 55-40.

    The Cougars will start the season at No. 4.

    Led by Michaela Onyenwere, Grandview comes in as the top team in 5A. The Wolves advanced to the Final 4 last season, but lost a heartbreaker to eventual state champion ThunderRidge.

    The Grizzlies did not break into the top 10 to start the season.

    In 3A, it’s the 2016 state runner-up Manitou Springs who comes in as the No.1 team to start the year.

    The Mustangs return senior Shelby Megyeri, who is regarded as one of the top guards in the state.

    Defending 3A champion, Lutheran lands at No. 4 in the 3A poll.

    Like the 3A poll, it’s the runner-up that will start the season at No. 1 in 2A. After falling to Yuma 55-46 in the 2A title game, Paonia will start the 2016-17 season as the top team in the class.

    Yuma isn’t far behind though as the defending champ sit at No. 2.

    A stunning upset in the first round of the 1A state tournament ended Kit Carson’s bid at a state title, but the Wildcats find themselves as the team to beat to start this season.

    They take the No. 1 spot in the preseason 1A rankings.

    Idalia comes into the season at No. 4 after claiming last year’s 1A title.

    The girls basketball regular season will begin Nov. 30.

    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 are below.

  • District baseball brackets released for first time under RPI system

    Back in January, the Legislative Council approved the recommendation of the CHSAA baseball committee to fast track the use of RPI as the system to determine the playoff fields.

    Wednesday saw the results of that vote for the first time as district brackets for Class 3A through 5A were released. Unlike the Wild Card system used previously, the RPI format takes into account the overall strength of schedule for each team and combines it with their win/loss record to create the field of 32 teams.

    Pine Creek came away with the top overall seed in 5A, and will host this weekend. Other host schools are Regis Jesuit, Lakewood, Heritage, Rock Canyon, Grandview, ThunderRidge and Mullen.

    Rock Canyon, which won last year’s 5A championship, is the No. 5 overall seed and will play Bear Creek in their first game. If they advance they’ll see the winner of Dakota Ridge and Chaparral.

    Three of the final four teams left in last year’s playoff field made it back to the tournament with Grandview landing at No. 6, Chatfield at No. 26. District play will begin this weekend with the state tournament starting next week.

    Mountain View leads the way in 4A, taking the top overall spot in the class. They’ll host their district where they will play Roosevelt. The winner of that game will meet the winner of Palisade and The Classical Academy.

    The other host schools in 4A are Canon City, Valor Christian, Windsor, Pueblo West, Fort Morgan, Denver North and Delta.

    Two-time defending state champion Green Mountain did not make it inside the top 32 teams and did not qualify for district play.

    Last year’s runner-up, Lewis-Palmer, drew the No. 26 seed and will head to District 6 and play host Fort Morgan. The potential of a showdown with league rival Palmer Ridge is there as the Bears play Longmont in that same district. Lewis-Palmer swept the season series against the Bears this year.

    Of last years final four teams in the tournament, only Lewis-Palmer and Ponderosa (No. 29) qualified for districts this year.

    Defending 3A champion Eaton held strong as the No. 1 team in that class all season and is the No. 1 seed coming into districts. The Reds will face Olathe in their first district game with the winner of that game playing the winner of No. 16 Lutheran and No. 17 The Academy.

    University, St, Mary’s, Lamar, Faith Christian, La Junta, Valley and Kent Denver are the other host teams in 3A.

    All four of last year’s final four teams in the tournament qualified for districts this year. Eaton and University are the top two teams in the brackets, Brush comes in at No. 9 and will play No. 24 Buena Vista in District 2 at Kent Denver and Sterling lands at No. 21 and will play No. 12 Colorado Academy in District 4 at Faith Christian.

  • Girls soccer rankings: Top teams holding strong

    The top teams are holding strong in the CHSAANow.com girls soccer rankings. Grandview, Lewis-Palmer, Kent Denver and Vail Mountain all held on to their No. 1 spots as the regular season comes to a close this week.

    There was not a lot of over change in the Class 5A rankings. There were no newcomers and the only change in position was Regis Jesuit moving up one spot to No. 6. They simply traded places with No. 7 Broomfield.

    A similar occurrence happened in the 4A rankings. There were no new teams to play their way in and any change in place happened mostly by one or two spots.

    In 3A, the top four teams all held on to their spot from a week ago. Peak to Peak climbed to No. 5, SkyView Academy climbed to No. 8 and Manitou Springs jumped to No. 9.

    Sterling is the only newcomer to any classification this week, landing at No. 10 in the 3A rankings.

    The same five teams from last week occupy the 2A rankings. the Dawson School jumped one spot to No. 2 and Front Range Christian dropped one spot to land at No. 3.

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

    With the regular season wrapping up this week, these will serve as the final rankings of the regular season. The state tournament brackets will be announced on CHSAANow.com on Sunday.

    Complete rankings for all classes are below.
