Boys soccer rankings: Niwot moves up to No. 2 in 4A
Niwot is ranked No. 2 in 4A boys soccer this week. (Kai Casey/CHSAANow.com) The Niwot Cougars are making sure they aren’t forgotten when it comes to action on the pitch.
With impressive wins over Greeley West and Skyline, the Cougars made the leap from No. 6 to No. 2 in this week’s Class 4A CHSAANow.com soccer rankings.
They weren’t able to over take The Classical Academy, who held on to the No. 1 spot after claiming it last week.
Skyline was the lone addition to the 4A polls this week, coming in at No. 10. At 12-0-1, the Wolverines even earned a first-place vote this week.
There were no new teams that made their way into this week’s 5A poll. Broomfield remains the No. 1 team in the rankings and Cherry Creek made the biggest movement, jumping two spots from No. 10 to No. 8.
Kent Denver is still the unanimous No. 1 team in 3A. Vail Mountain made the jump from No. 4 to No. 2 thanks to wins over Moffat County and Colorado Rocky Mountain.
The rankings, voted upon by coaches and select media members, are the official polls of the Association. These are the final boys soccer rankings of the season with the state brackets due to be released next Sunday.
Complete rankings for each class are below.

Boys soccer rankings: Kent Denver back on top of 3A
Kent Denver has returned to the No. 1 spot in Class 3A boys soccer. (Ryan Casey/CHSAANow.com) Kent Denver has regained the top spot of the Class 3A CHSAANow.com boys soccer rankings after relinquishing the spot last week.
The Sun Devils regained their position thanks to a 10-0 win over Bishop Mechebeuf on Friday.
Boulder remained in the top spot in 5A after playing their way into that ranking last week. Two new teams joined the 5A poll as Rampart made an impressive jump up to No. 6 and Arapahoe earned enough points to take over the No. 10 spot.
Evergreen hangs on to the No. 1 spot in 4A thanks to outscoring opponents 5-0 last week. Like 5A, two new teams joined the 4A poll as Skyline comes in at No. 6 with Skyview landing at No. 10.
Along with Kent Denver regaining the No. 1 spot in 3A, Jefferson Academy and Colorado Academy each jumped four spots with the Jaguars coming in at No. 4 and the Mustangs climbing to No. 5.
Vail Mountain is the lone newcomer to the 3A rankings at No. 9 this week.

NIWOT — Mark Ramirez scored two goals as the 5th-seeded Niwot Cougars beat the 28th-seeded Skyview Wolverines 4-1 on Wednesday in the first round of the Class 4A boys soccer state tournament.
The Cougars got their first goal from Terin Tadewald on a blatant hand-ball by a Skyview defender that kept the ball out of the net on a corner kick. Ramirez scored the next two goals, and Justin Barkow added one in the second half.
Jose Martinez scored Skyline’s lone goal.
Niwot moves on to the second round where they’ll face the winner of Centaurus and Standley Lake.

Football roundup: Grandview gets big win over Cherry Creek
It’s not as though Grandview was flying under the radar. The Wolves, after all, were ranked No. 3 in this week’s Class 5A CHSAANow.com poll — and have been ranked since the preseason.
More photos. (Jack Eberhard/JacksActionShots.com) But Friday’s 24-6 win over No. 6 Cherry Creek was an announcement, of sorts: We’re to be reckoned with.
Grandview led 17-6 at the half and added a late score off a blocked punt that was recovered by Keifer Glau. Quarterback Cody Summers had a game, throwing for a score and rushing for another.
If they weren’t already, the Wolves, now 7-0, are a legitimate threat for the Class 5A title. They play Overland next week. Win that, and the season finale with Valor Christian could be for the No. 1 overall seed in the playoffs.

3A: (6) Roosevelt 34, (3) Holy Family 26
In a back-and-forth game which featured six ties or lead changes, Roosevelt pulled away in the fourth quarter to win.
Christian Majszak had four touchdowns to lead Roosevelt.
“It’s that time of year again,” coach Noland Eastin told ColoradoPreps.com’s Scoreboard Show. “We better start strapping our chinstraps on a little tighter, because that was a heck of a battle out there, and it could have went either way.
“It was back-and-forth,” he added. “It was just one of those epic battles. … The dust was flying around, kids were hanging in there. Their kids were battling. It was jsut a fun night of football. It was a good throw-back night.”
[divider]
3A: Palisade 18, (3) Rifle 10
It’s a big upset that also does wonders for Palisade’s playoffs hopes. The Bulldogs improved to 5-2.
The team teams were knotted at 10 at the break, and again after three quarters before Caleb Clarkson scored the winning touchdown on a 9-yard run with 1:45 to play. According to the Grand Junction Daily Sentinel, Palisade had actually stopped Rifle on fourth-and-2 at their own 38 prior to the winning drive.
“The only way you’re going to compete against Rifle is you have to match their discipline and toughness, and that’s what we’re built on,” Palisade coach Joe Ramunno told the paper.
Easton Wood also had a touchdown pass to John Goff for Palisade, while Ty Leyba had a 56-yard touchdown run for Rifle.

5A: (1) Valor Christian 17, Cherokee Trail 7
The top-ranked Eagles grinded out a win against yet another tough Centennial League foe.
Quarterback Dylan McCaffrey threw for a touchdown and rushed for another.
Brian Dawkins Jr. and Eric Lee Jr. both had interceptions at key moments.
[divider]
3A: (7) Delta 39, (10) Glenwood Springs 10
Delta scored the game’s final 29 points in the top-10 showdown.
Tristan Brown and Damon Jensen each had two touchdowns for Delta, running in place of a cramped Jonny Ponce, according to the Daily Sentinel.
[divider]
2A: Sterling 21, (9) Eaton 14
The Tigers pulled off the upset after scoring the game’s final 14 points.
“We kind of came in at the half and had to make some quick adjustments to some of the things they took advantage of,” Sterling coach Rob Busmente told the Scoreboard Show. “We regrouped well at halftime and came out and made some of those adjustments, and we were able to go out and perform.”
Sterling plays at No. 1 Brush next week.
“This is the Patriot League,” Busmenete said. “There’s never a week off. There’s always a tough game waiting for you on Friday.”
[divider]
2A: La Junta 21, (5) Florence 20
La Junta stopped No. 5 Florence’s two-point conversion attempt with 20 seconds to play to preserve the win in 2A.
“It was a great stop for us,” coach Clint Buderus told the Scoreboard Show. “The kids came through in the clutch and found a way to win.”
La Junta has won three games in a row after starting 1-3.
“We’re young. We’ve got 10 or 11 sophomores playing for us,” Buderus said. “We just had to get them some experience … and just had to get them rolling, get some confidence. This is a big win for us, it’s just a, ‘We can do it.’”
