  • Volleyball rankings: Mountain Vista makes jump to No. 2 in 5A

    Every No. 1 team in the CHSAANow.com volleyball rankings held their position, but there was still plenty of new looks near the top of each class.

    In Class 5A, Chatfield remains undefeated at No. 1, but they have company nipping at their heels. The Mountain Vista Golden Eagles made the jump from No. 10 to No. 2 following a sweep of 4A’s Ponderosa, a team that many would call one of the best in the state, regardless of classification.

    Undefeated Prairie View and Bright both join the rankings this week at No. 8 and No. 9, respectively.

    In 4A, Lewis-Palmer has yet to relinquish the top spot this year, but now it has Colorado Springs-area rival Cheyenne Mountain right behind them at No. 2. The Indians looked impressive during a 3-0 sweep of Doherty this week and will get their shot at the Rangers later this season.

    Ponderosa fell two spots following its loss to Mountain Vista.

    New to the 4A poll this week is Elizabeth, who comes in at No. 10.

    Eaton continues to remain dominant in the 3A rankings, even taking down last week’s No. 2 Platte Valley early last week.

    Undefeated Alamosa breaks into the 3A rankings this week, jumping all the way up to No. 7.

    Resurrection Christian says firmly in the No. 1 spot in 2A. One team did break their way into this week’s poll as Vail Christian lands at No. 9.

    The No. 1 team in 1A is still Idalia, who has yet to lose this season. McClave played its way into the 1A rankings this week, landing at No. 9.

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

  • Volleyball rankings: 5A poll sees all kinds of shakeup, adds four teams

    This week’s CHSAANow.com volleyball rankings received quite a shakeup as Cherry Creek (No. 6), Denver East (No. 7), Chaparral (No. 9) and Mountain Vista (No. 10) all broke into this week’s Class 5A poll.

    Even when there was status quo, there was change: For the first time this season, the No. 1 team in Class 5A held their spot, as Chatfield took seven of the 10 first-place votes this week.

    Both Cherokee Trail (No. 2) and Rock Canyon (No. 3) jumped one spot. Rock Canyon looked strong against then No. 5 Regis Jesuit last week, showing that they have earned their spot as a top-three team.

    Legend is fourth this week, and Lakewood moved into the top-5 from No. 9. Grandview is No. 8 this week.

    In 4A, Lewis-Palmer continues to top the poll. The Ranges looked impressive in a 3-0 sweep over Valor Christian last Thursday. Holy Family also continues to impress and they made the jump from No. 10 to No. 5 as a result.

    At 9-1, Delta breaks into the poll at No. 9.

    The teams in the 3A rankings remained the same this week, but Platte Valley leapt over CSCS to come in at No. 2. Eaton stayed in their position at No. 1 and received all 10 first-place votes.

    Resurrection Christian has yet to lose and remains the top team in 2A. They are joined in the poll this week by Union Colony (No. 9) and Ignacio (No. 10).

    Idalia held firm in the top spot of the 1A poll. There were no newcomers this week, but Briggsdale did jump from No. 10 to No. 5. Weldon Valley fell two spots, going from No. 4 to No. 2.

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

  • Football roundup: Fruita Monument beats rival Grand Junction, moves to 2-0

    For the first time since the 2012, Fruita Monument has won consecutive games. The Wildcats are 2-0 under new coach Todd Casebier following a 23-0 win over Grand Junction on Friday.

    “I’m just proud for our kids,” Casebier told Colorado Preps’ Scoreboard Show on Friday night. “They’ve had sand kicked in their face around here for a while, and our coaching staff has been great. I’m happy for Fruita.”

    Fruita finished 1-9 in Class 5A last season.

    “Any ‘W’ is important for Fruita right now,” Casebier said. “The fact that we’re 2-0 really is the most important thing, because the kids even buy in more, they work harder, and you just can kind of feel the wave going our direction.

    “I was part of a similar thing in Montrose, and some of the same things are happening for us here at Fruita. So I’m excited about that, and just happy to be a part of it. It’s just a neat deal for everybody.”

    This is also the first time Fruita Monument has beat Grand Junction since the 2012 season, when the Wildcats went 5-5 — their largest win total over the past decade.

    “I’ve just seen potential from the get-go since I’ve been here, and I really feel like it’s coming together,” Casebier said. “We’ll enjoy it this weekend and go back to work. We’ve got a big one coming up next week in Montrose.”

    Casebier was the coach at Montrose for 10 seasons prior to joining Fruita Monument, leading them to the 4A title game in 2013.

    “It’s going to be strange, for sure, being in a different locker room and looking across that field,” Casebier said. “Montrose was great to me, and I’ve got a lot of friends on the staff, all those kids I coached. So it’ll be hard that way, but at the same time, they’re competitors and of course, our guys at Fruita, we need to win. And I know Montrose wants this.

    “It’ll be a good football game. We’ll hug afterwards either way. Again, I’m not looking forward to playing those guys, but, as you said, I don’t do the schedule.”

    5A: (7) Regis Jesuit 23, (10) Mullen 17

    Michael Pavlakovich passed for a touchdown and rushed for another as No. 7 Regis Jesuit beat longtime rival Mullen, ranked No. 10, on Friday.

    The Raiders also got a rushing touchdown from Alec Barnes and solid defense all night in beating Mullen for the third season in a row.

    The win was the first for new head coach Danny Filleman, who moved from Arizona this offseason. Regis Jesuit had a tough loss against Cherry Creek in Week 1.

    The Raiders (1-1) will play Cherokee Trail next week. The Cougars beat Denver East 35-7 on Friday to move to 2-0.

    Mullen (1-1) got rushing touchdowns from Marcus McElroy Jr. and Shamond Hamilton in the loss. The Mustangs have a tough opponent in Pomona next week.

    1A: (5) Platte Canyon 36, (10) Wiggins 20

    Platte Canyon got an important early-season with thanks to a big second half that allowed the Huskies to pull away.

    Platte Canyon led just 14-8 at halftime, but extended that to 22-14 after three then scored twice in the fourth quarter to put this one out of reach.

    The game was originally scheduled for Saturday but was moved up to Friday so a few Wiggins players could attend ACT testing.

    4A: (2) Longmont 45, (5) Falcon 26

    Longmont jumped out to a 10-0 lead at halftime, then pushed it to 24-7 in the third quarter. The Trojans, last season’s 4A runner-up, would roll from there.

    No. 2 Longmont is now 2-0 this season.

    Falcon, meanwhile, opened the season against the Nos. 1 and 2 teams in the classification. The Falcons lost to Pine Creek in Week 1.

    3A/4A: (9) Greeley West 28, (8) D’Evelyn 20

    Greeley West led 14-0 at halftime, and 21-7 after three quarters, then held on for the win.

    The Spartans, who were 1-9 in 2013, have now started 2-0 in consecutive seasons.

    5A: (8) Fairview 35, Boulder 17

    Thomas Creese, the latest in a long line of successful Fairview quarterbacks, threw three touchdowns to lead the Knights to a rivalry win over Boulder on Friday night.

    Fairview led 21-0 in the first half, but Boulder rallied to make it 21-10 and later, 28-17, but Fairview held on.

    Boulder’s TJ Jones had two touchdowns in the loss.

  • 2A boys Final 4 roundup: Defense leads Sanford basketball to title game

    PUEBLO – Hard-nose in-your-face defense is trademark the Sanford boys basketball team.

    The Indians didn’t disappoint Friday night.

    Thanks a suffocating defense and Clayton Peterson’s 17 points Sanford came away with a 65-54 victory over Ignacio in a Class 2A semifinal game at Colorado State University-Pueblo’s Massari Arena.

    “We take pride in defense and it takes a great team effort when you have a bunch of good players to defend who have size and all that,” Sanford coach Rhett Larsen said. “I was real proud of our team the way they played (defense).”

    The Indians improved to 26-0 and will have the opportunity to capture back-to-back state championships when they meet top-seeded Resurrection Christian (25-0) at 7 p.m. Saturday.

    A year ago, Sanford finished the season with 26-1 record and claimed the school’s sixth state boys basketball title by beating Akron 58-53.

    “We just take one game at a time, and now we only have one game left,” Larsen said. “We are going to coach it the same way and just have the kids come ready to play.”

    The Indians clearly were up to Ignacio’s challenge.

    Peterson scored 15 of his points on five 3-pointers and he didn’t work alone. Miles Caldon (16 points), Adam Romero (13) and Griffen Peterson (11) all chipped in in Sanford’s balanced-scoring attack.

    “It’s important and crucial for us to be able to spread the ball around and have everybody who can shoot it,” Larsen said. “I thought we have good contributions from all our guys (Friday night).”

    Sanford built a 33-21 halftime lead and that advantage was too much for Ignacio (22-3) to overcome. Wyatt Hayes paced the Bobcats with 17 points on the strength of five treys. Ignacio’s Adison Jones had 14 points.

    No. 1 Resurrection Christian 71, No. 4 Simla 60

    With a chance at history possibly slipping way, Resurrection Christian’s Tanner Ervin took matters into his own hands.

    The sophomore guard scored 10 of his 22 points in the third quarter, propelling the Cougars to the win over Simla in the other semifinal game.

    Resurrection (25-0) moves to play defending state champion Sanford (26-0) at 7 p.m. today. The Cougars are trying to make history by winning the school’s first boys state basketball title. A year ago, Sanford finished the season with 26-1 record and claimed the school’s sixth state boys basketball title by beating Akron 58-53. Simla’s record dropped to 23-3.

    “We were trying to do too many things too quick and when we started reversing the ball and making their big guys come out and guard a little bit, it just changed the whole game,” Resurrection coach Bruce Dick said.

    Holding on to a slim 34-33 halftime lead, the Cougars 22-5 third-quarter spurt spelled doom for Simla. Ervin had two treys in the barrage.

    “Coach got on us at halftime for not swinging the ball enough and I was just swinging the ball and coming off good screens that were set by our bigs,” the 5-foot-8 Ervin said. “They were doing all of it. I just spotting up and shooting the shot.”

    In addition to Ervin, Koby Bishop (18 points) and Luke Fick (11 points) also scored in double-figures for the Cougars. Cody Norris and Noah Scott each had 14 points in the loss for Simla.

  • 2A boys basketball Great 8 roundup: Ignacio holds off Rye

    PUEBLO – This game came down to pressure-packed free throws and Ignacio’s Anthony Manzanares, Adison Jones and Wyatt Hayes were perfect.

    The trio combined to make 6-of-6 free throws in the final 42.7 seconds, vaulting the Bobcats to a 45-38 victory over Rye in a Class 2A quarterfinal game at Colorado State University’s Massari Arena Thursday night.

    “We absolutely practice free throws, and the guys came through when they were tired,” Ignacio coach Chris Valdez said.

    Ignacio (22-2), the No. 3 seed moves on to play No. 2 Sanford (25-0).

    “Sanford is tough, and they are the defending (2A) state champs,” Valdez said. “They are physical and they are aggressive and we are just going to go out there and give it a hard run.”

    A win seemed like the last thing the Bobcats would be celebrating early in the Rye game.

    “The thing is we came out and played so horrible in the first quarter,” said Valdez, whose team was trailing 5-2 after eight minutes of play against Rye. “We had our best player, Adison Jones in foul trouble, he had three fouls in the first quarter. The first half we wanted to hold on and stay with it and we ended up coming out with the lead.”

    The game was definitely in doubt late in the final quarter and when Rye’s Corban Pagnotta converted a 3-point play, the Thunderbolts were up 36-35.

    Instead of wilt, Ignacio answered.

    Jones drove to the basket and put in a bucket, putting the Bobcats ahead 37-36 with 2:18 left.

    The Bobcats were clinging to a 39-38 advantage when Manzanares made two free throws at the 42.7-second mark giving his team a 41-38 lead.

    Rye had a missed opportunity the next time down the court and with 20.7 seconds showing Jones made two more free throws to stretch the lead to 43-38. Hayes sealed the win with a pair of free throws with 13 seconds left.

    Hayes had a team-best 16 points and Jones added 13. Ty Zupancic had a team-high 10 points for Rye.

    Resurrection Christian 87, Burlington 32

    Top-seeded Resurection Christian jumped out to a 21-point first-quarter lead and cruised to the win.

    The Cougars ran their record to 24-0 and will play No. 4 Simla (23-2) at 8:30 Friday in the semifinals.

    Tanner Ervin (24 points) and Mike Stevenson (17 points) paced the Cougars. Resurrection Christian is aiming to win its first boys basketball title in school history.

    Simla 55, Meeker 44

    Simla’s Kyler Hamacher poured in nine of his game-high 14 points in the fourth quarter, leading the Cubs to the victory in a first-round game.

    With eight minutes to play, Simla appeared to be reeling as it was holding on to a slim 36-33 advantage after just scoring three points in the fourth quarter. The Cubs regrouped for the win and Hamacher wasn’t the only star.

    Cody Norris (11 points), Noah Scott (10) and Jason George (10) all scored in double-figures as well for Simla.

    Sanford 61, Holyoke 57

    Perennial power Sanford received 27 points from Miles Caldon to edge the Dragons.

    Sanford led 30-24 at intermission and was able to hold on and win, thanks outscoring in the fourth quarter. Caldon, a guard, scored eight points in the fourth and was 6-for-8 from the free throw line. Clayton Peterson added 10 points for the Indians and Tito Fierro had 23 points in the loss for Holyoke.

  • ThunderRidge takes over as No. 1 in 5A boys basketball rankings

    ThunderRidge took down No. 1 Regis Jesuit last week, and took over the top spot in the Class 5A boys basketball poll this week.

    The Grizzlies received 21 of the 22 first-place votes and amassed 219 total points in rising to the top of CHSAANow.com’s ranking. They beat Regis Jesuit 59-36 on Tuesday.

    Regis dropped to No. 2. Behind them, Overand (No. 3) and Eaglecrest (No. 4) held steady while Rock Canyon moved up to No. 5.

    Rangeview jumped up four places to No. 6, Dakota Ridge fell to No. 7 and two newcomers were next — eighth-ranked Mountain Vista and No. 9 Cherokee Trail. Chaparral rounds out the 5A ranking.

    There was little change to 4A, where Longmont continued to be a unanimous No. 1 selection.

    In 3A, Grand Valley joined at No. 9. Faith Christian remained atop that poll.

    Likewise, the No. 1 teams in 2A (Resurrection Christian) and 1A (Sangre de Cristo) also stayed the same.

    The rankings, voted upon by coaches and select media members, are the official polls of the Association. These will be the final polls of the regular season.

    Complete rankings are below.
