  • The Classical Academy returns to No. 1 spot in 4A girls soccer

    The Classical Academy is back on top of the Class 4A girls soccer ranking.

    The Titans, who were supplanted by Evergreen two weeks, returned to the top of 4A with eight of the 14 first-place votes this week.

    Evergreen, which was upset by Valor Christian, dropped to No. 3. Valor is No. 2 this week.

    The other three No. 1 teams — ThunderRidge (5A), Colorado Academy (3A) and Front Range Christian (2A) — all remain the same.

    In 5A, Cherry Creek joined this week’s ranking. The Bruins came in at No. 9.

    There were no newcomers in 4A. The 3A poll added No. 10 Frontier Academy, while 2A added CS School (No. 5).

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

    These will serve as the final rankings of the year with the regular season ending on Friday.

    Complete rankings for all classes are below.

    Tatum Barton (10) and Columbine have returned to the Class 5A girls soccer poll. (Dennis Pleuss)

    Columbine, last year’s Class 5A champion, returned to the girls soccer rankings this week.

    The Rebels (7-2-0) are No. 8 in CHSAANow.com’s 5A poll, and actually just won a title game rematch with Ralston Valley last week.

    There was a lot of shakeup to the 5A rankings, including Mountain Vista’s rise to No. 2 after beating last week’s No. 2 Rock Canyon.

    Grandview also made a big jump in going from No. 8 to No. 4.

    Other newcomers this week include No. 9 Cheyenne Mountain and No. 10 Littleton in 4A; and No. 9 Middle Park in 3A.

    A week after three new No. 1 teams dotted the rankings, all four top teams held firm in their respective classifications. Those are ThunderRidge (5A), Evergreen (4A), Colorado Academy (3A) and Front Range Christian (2A).

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

  • ThunderRidge, Evergreen, Front Range Christian new No. 1 teams in girls soccer rankings

    Three new No. 1 teams sit atop this week’s girls soccer rankings from CHSAANow.com.

    ThunderRidge (5A), Evergreen (4A) and Front Range Christian (2A) all rose to the top of their respective rankings.

    T-Ridge beat Rock Canyon in a showdown of top-2 teams last week. Rock Canyon dropped to No. 2 this week.

    Behind them, Broomfield rose to No. 3, Mountain Vista is fourth and Rocky Mountain rounds out the top five. There were no new teams to this week’s 5A poll.

    Evergreen takes over the 4A ranking with eight of the 12 first-place votes. The Classical Academy, last week’s No. 1, got the other four votes. Both teams are 9-0-0.

    There was a lot of movement in 4A, which also added No. 7 Windsor, No. 9 Niwot and No. 10 Silver Creek.

    Front Range Christian, meanwhile, regained its spot atop 2A following a 2-1 win over then-No. 1 Denver Christian.

    DC fell to No. 3. Vail Mountain is second.

    In 3A, Colorado Academy is the lone No. 1 team to hold its spot from last week. That ranking added SkyView Academy at No. 10.

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

    Three new teams joined the Class 5A girls soccer rankings this week.

    Cherokee Trail (No. 8), Rocky Mountain (No. 9) and Grandview (No. 10) all joined CHSAANow.com’s poll.

    Rock Canyon continued to lead 5A at the top, receiving eight of the 11 first-place votes. ThunderRidge is second, Mountain Vista is third, Broomfield is fourth and Arapahoe rounds out the top five.

    The No. 1 teams in 4A (The Classical Academy) and 3A (Colorado Academy) remained the same. However, Denver Christian took over the top spot in 2A.

    The Crusaders got five of the six first-place votes in that class, and edged Vail Mountain, which is No. 2. Vail Mountain handed former No. 1 Front Range Christian its first loss last week.

  • Rock Canyon, The Classical Academy new top-ranked teams in girls soccer

    Rock Canyon is the new No. 1 team in this week’s Class 5A girls soccer ranking. The Jaguars received six of the 10 first-place votes from CHSAANow.com’s voters.

    But that turned out to be just the start of the upheaval in 5A, where five teams received at least one first-place vote.

    Arapahoe jumped from No. 9 to No. 2, and four newcomers joined the poll this week. Those new teams: No. 4 ThunderRidge, No. 6 Broomfield, No. 7 Grandview and No. 10 Fairview.

    Mountain Vista is No. 3 this week, and Pine Creek is No. 5.

    Things weren’t much more stable in 4A, where The Classical Academy vaulted from unranked to No. 1. Evergreen went from sixth to second, Valor Christian from eighth to third and Ponderosa from unranked to fourth.

    Wheat Ridge (No. 9) also joined the 4A poll this week.

    The No. 1 teams in 3A (Colorado Academy) and 2A (Front Range Christian) did stay put this week.

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

    Complete rankings for both classes are below.

  • 3A girls basketball Great 8 roundup: Manitou Springs advances

    GOLDEN – With Manitou Springs needing a little bit of a spark Thursday night, Shelby Megyeri turned into a wrecking ball on both ends of the floor.

    The sophomore was all over the place down the stretch for the Mustangs in the Class 3A state girls basketball quarterfinals, forcing turnovers, drawing fouls and driving to the basket for layups. Megyeri finished with a game-high 16 points, and Manitou Springs rode an impressive defensive performance to a 50-44 victory over Eaton and a berth in Friday’s semifinals at Lockridge Arena on the Colorado School of Mines campus.

    “It’s a great feeling. I’ve never experienced it,” Megyeri said. “I’m only a sophomore and I’ve only been to state (once). We got to state last year but we lost our first game. This is a new feeling – it’s hard to explain, but I’ve got the chills thinking about it.”

    Manitou Springs (23-2) takes on top-seeded Sterling (25-0) at 4 p.m., with Pagosa Springs (24-0) meeting Lutheran (24-1) at 7 p.m. in Golden.

    “We’ve very excited. Sterling’s a great basketball team,” Mustangs coach Jon Asp said. “I feel like we rise to the occasion against good teams.”

    Eaton led 37-32 late in the third quarter before Brooke Garretson knocked down a pair of free throws. Megyeri then picked off two passes that led to layups.

    A Jayla Jarnigan 3-pointer put Eaton back up 42-38, but the Mustangs rallied again. After Shelby Hard cut the lead to two points, Megyeri and Garretson combined to score the team’s final 10 points.

    Eaton was limited to only five points in the fourth quarter.

    “From here on out we had eight strong teams, and I told the girls at halftime we can’t outscore any of these teams here,” Asp said. “We’ve got to step it up on the defensive end and that starts with boxing out. We boxed out awful that first half.”

    Eaton junior Bailey Schumacher scored 13 points in the first half but was held scoreless over the final two quarters. Caiden Rexius added 11 points for the Reds.

    “Eaton’s a strong team and I felt like they had the momentum most of the game,” Asp said. “But I think our advantage is we’ve won a lot of close games these last two years. We’ve been in a lot of tough games and we’ve been able to pull it out and win those.”

    (1) Sterling 51, (25) Liberty Common 36

    The Tigers remained undefeated thanks in large part to a first-quarter surge that saw Sterling outscore the Eagles 16-5.

    Jenna Knudson led Sterling with 26 points, including a 14-of-17 effort from the free-throw line.

    Molly Gillis led Liberty Common with 12 points.

    (2) Pagosa Springs 48, (10) Centauri 33

    Payton Shahan scored 16 points and Morgan Schaaf added 10 as the Pirates moved into the semifinals with an impressive showing against Centauri.

    Schaaf added seven rebounds and six blocked shots.

    The Falcons shot just 26.3 percent in the first half and 23 turnovers. Ember Canty led Centauri with 13 points.

    (3) Lutheran 61, (6) Moffat County 32

    Four Lions players finished in double figures as Lutheran rolled into the 3A semifinals one year removed from winning the 2A state championship.

    Chandler Sturms led Lutheran with 16 points. Kaleigh Paplow and Kristen Vigil added 12 points each and Cara Thomas chipped in with 11 points.
