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

    (Ray Chen/MaxPreps.com)
    (Ray Chen/MaxPreps.com)

    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.

  • Valor Christian grabs preseason No. 1 ranking in CHSAANow.com football poll

    Valor Christian is the preseason No. 1 team in Class 5A. (Jack Eberhard/JacksActionShots.com)
    Valor Christian is the preseason No. 1 team in Class 5A. (Jack Eberhard/JacksActionShots.com)

    Football is back, and things seem to be picking up right where we left them.

    Valor Christian leads the first-ever CHSAANow.com 5A football poll, which is voted on by coaches and media members across the state. The Eagles are four-time defending champions across three classifications, and beat Cherokee Trail to win last year’s 5A crown. Cherokee Trail, not surprisingly, is No. 2 in the preseason poll.

    ThunderRidge, a semifinalist a year ago, is third, followed by Cherry Creek and Pomona. Grandview is No. 6 to begin the season, Ralston Valley is No. 7, while Columbine (No. 8), Chaparral (No. 9) and Regis Jesuit (No. 10) round out the 5A poll.

    A total of three teams received first-place votes in the ranking: Valor Christian got 14, while Cherokee Trail and Cherry Creek received one each.

    Monarch, the defending 4A champion, leads the preseason ranking in that classification, while Denver South, runner-up a year ago, is second. Wheat Ridge, Pine Creek and Pueblo West round out 4A’s top five teams.

    In fact, each of the defending champions lead their respective preseason rankings. That includes Silver Creek (3A), Kent Denver (2A), Cedaredge (1A), Hoehne (8-man) and Fleming (6-man).

    Complete polls for all classifications are below.
