  • ThunderRidge moves up to No. 1 in 5A football ranking

    The expectations were already high. Now, perhaps, things have been kicked up a notch.

    ThunderRidge, coming off a 36-18 win over then-No. 3 Ralston Valley, took over atop the CHSAANow.com football poll in 5A this week. The Grizzlies had been No. 2, but jumped Valor Christian, which lost in overtime to Bingham (Utah).

    Valor has yet to play an in-state opponent this season, and the four-time defending champion still received half of the first-place votes. Still, the Eagles are No. 2 this week.

    Cherry Creek had its own big win last week — over then-No. 6 Pomona — and moved up on place to No. 3.

    Grandview (No. 4) also moved up one place, and faces ThunderRidge this week.

    Columbine went from No. 7 to No. 5 to round out the top five.

    Ralston Valley settled in sixth following its loss, Regis Jesuit is seventh and Fairview is eighth.

    The 5A top-ten is rounded out by two newcomers: Chatfield (No. 9) and Grand Junction (No. 10).

    In 4A, Monarch continued its hold on the No. 1 spot. Denver South moved up to second, and the ranking added Standley Lake at No. 9.

    Class 1A also got a new No. 1 team this week with Buena Vista taking over at the top.

    Complete rankings for all classes are below.

  • ThunderRidge, Ralston Valley both move up in football poll ahead of Saturday’s game

    We’ve got a No. 2 vs. No. 3 showdown on our hands this Saturday in Class 5A football.

    ThunderRidge, following an impressive showing, bumped up one spot from its preseason No. 3 ranking in this week’s CHSAANow.com football poll. And Ralston Valley, the Grizzlies’ opponent this weekend, went from seventh to third after two big wins.

    Valor Christian remained in the top spot, and garnered 22 of the 23 first-place votes. Cherry Creek stayed put at fourth, while Grandview (No. 5) and Pomona (No. 6) swapped spots.

    Columbine is seventh in the 5A ranking, and Cherokee Trail dropped from second to eighth following its loss to Chatfield.

    Regis Jesuit moved up one spot to ninth, and Fairview is the lone new team to the 5A poll, at tenth. The Knights edged Chatfield with 42 total points to the Chargers’ 38. Grandview and Arapahoe are also just on the fringe.

    The 4A ranking continued to be led by Monarch, and added Montrose (No. 5), Loveland (No. 8) and Dakota Ridge (No. 10).

    Wheat Ridge jumped up one spot to second in 4A following its win over Windsor.

    Silver Creek stayed on top of 3A, which added Palisade (No. 8), Lutheran (No. 9) and D’Evelyn (No. 10).

    Platte Valley is the only new No. 1 team among all classifications, having taken over the top spot in 2A following a win over previous No. 1 Kent Denver.

    Complete rankings for all classes are below.
