  • Boys basketball rankings: Lewis-Palmer, Holly move to No. 1 spots

    There are two brand new No. 1 teams in this week’s CHSAANow.com boys basketball rankings.

    Lewis-Palmer ascends to the top spot of the Class 4A rankings while defending 1A champion Holly now sits atop the 1A poll.

    The Rangers have been one of the most dominant teams in 4A this season. They took down league foe Sand Creek last week, getting their second double-digit win over the Scorpions this season.

    They assume the top spot after Pueblo South suffered a shocking loss to Air Academy on Saturday.

    Valor Christian took over the No. 2 spot thanks to avenging a Jan. 8 loss to Golden.

    Though several teams changed position in the 4A poll, the 10 teams making up the rankings remain the same from a week ago.

    Undefeated Rangeview still holds the No. 1 ranking in 5A with Eaglecrest sticking right behind them at No. 2.

    Rock Canyon jumped three spots to land at No. 4 this week thanks in part to a one-point win over ThunderRidge on Friday.

    Cherokee Trail rejoins the 5A poll at No. 10 after falling out of the rankings last week.

    The Denver School of Science and Tech-Stapleton hangs on to the top spot in the 3A poll, but Faith Christian jumped two spots to land right behind them at No. 2.

    Manitou Springs also made a two-spot jump which put the Mustangs at No. 7 ahead of their league showdown with defending 3A champ, No. 3 Colorado Springs Christian School.

    No new teams were added to the 3A poll this week.

    Sanford is still the top team in the 2A poll, snagging 10 of 11 first-place votes this week.

    Landing at No. 9, Highland is the lone newcomer to the 2A rankings.

    Holly’s taking over the top 1A is all the more impressive considering the team is playing nothing but road games this year.

    Shining Mountain made the biggest jump in 1A this week, coming in at No. 7 which is three spots higher than a week ago.

    Faith Baptist joins the 1A rankings at No. 10 this week.

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

    Complete rankings are below.

  • Girls basketball rankings: Highlands Ranch firms up No. 1 spot in 5A

    It seemed like Highlands Ranch was poised to get knocked off the top spot of the Class 5A CHSAANow.com girls basketball rankings.

    But the Falcons had other ideas.

    They trailed at halftime Friday night against ThunderRidge but rallied to take down the Grizzlies, cementing their status as the No. 1 team in state. The ThunderRidge effort only dropped them one spot, setting up a potential high-profile rematch in the state playoffs.

    The 5A rankings saw only one new team join this week as Horizon comes in at No. 9.

    Sand Creek remained the top team in the 4A poll, a position they have held all year. Evergreen and Windsor each jumped one spot to come in at No. 8 and No. 19 respectively. There were no new teams in the 4A rankings.

    Pagosa Springs remains the top team in 3A rankings after winning both their games last week. Manitou Springs jumped one spot to land at No. 2.

    Like 4A, there were no newcomers to the 3A poll.

    Yuma is still the No. 1 team in 2A, getting 14 of 16 first-place votes. Highland made the biggest jump of the week by landing at No. 7, up three spots from where they were in the previous rankings. No new teams made 2A poll this week.

    Although three teams remain undefeated in 1A, Sangre de Cristo is still the team holding the top spot in 1A. McClave is the only newly ranked team this week, coming in at No. 10.

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

    Complete rankings are below.

  • Girls basketball rankings: Centaurus, Windsor join 4A poll

    It seems that the top girls basketball teams in the state have no desire to relinquish their spots in the CHSAANow.com girls basketball rankings.

    After very few changes to last week’s rankings, things are looking just as — if not more — consistent this week.

    Highlands Ranch, Sand Creek, Pagosa Springs, Yuma and Sangre de Cristo all maintained the top spots in their respective polls and by decisive margins.

    The No. 1 teams went a combined 9-0 last week.

    The 5A rankings only saw two teams shift positions as Lakewood and Ralston Valley traded spots from last week. The Tigers come in at No. 5 while the Mustangs fall to No. 6.

    The top four 4A teams continue to look good as they went a combined 8-0 in play last week.

    Centaurus and Windsor were able to do enough to make their case as they break into the rankings at No. 8 and No. 10 respectively.

    In 3A, it continues to look like a three-team race at the top with Pagosa Springs, Sterling and Manitou Springs locking up the positions they have held for pretty much the entire season.

    Eaton made a two-spot jump this week to land at No. 4 and Monte Vista is the new addition as they come in at No. 9.

    West Grand (No. 9) and Highland (No. 10) break into the 2A rankings this week. Cedaredge jumps one spot to take over the new spot. The Bruins remain the only undefeated team in the 2A rankings.

    South Baca and Otis made up the most ground this week in the 1A poll with each team jumping two spots. Otis lands at No. 4 while Otis jumped up to No. 9.

    There were no new teams in the 1A rankings.

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

  • Girls basketball rankings: Centauri moving up in 3A poll

    Although the Class 3A CHSAANow.com girls basketball rankings are loaded with talent at the top, breaking into those ranks is not impossible and Centauri is proving just that.

    After sitting at No. 8 last week, the undefeated Falcons leapt to No. 4 after a 62-33 win over Buena Vista. They now sit right behind Pagosa Springs, Sterling and Manitou Springs, the three preseason favorites to take the state title. Pagosa Springs held on to the top spot that they grabbed from Manitou only a week ago.

    The only new addition to the 3A poll this week is Trinidad who gave Manitou Springs its toughest test of the year Friday night.

    In 5A, Highlands Ranch remains the top team, while nine teams from last week’s rankings remained in the top 10 this week.

    The only team to break in is Rocky Mountain, who comes in at No. 10.

    Sand Creek remains  the top-ranked team in 4A and are looking every bit the part. Like 3A, the 4A rankings are top-heavy with talented teams as Mesa Ridge (No. 2), Valor Christian (No. 3) and Longmont (No. 4) all look like contenders early in the season.

    Centaurus is the only new team to the 4A poll as they land at No. 9 this week.

    Yuma still has a grasp on the No. 1 ranking in the 2A polls, although Akron and Cedaredge are both undefeated and getting first-place recognition.

    Hasten makes a splash this week as they land at No. 7 after being unranked only a week ago.

    Sangre de Cristo edged out Kit Carson by one point to remain the No. 1 team in 1A this week.

    The 1A rankings added the most teams this week as Prairie (No. 7) and Jim Elliot (No. 9) break into the poll.

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

    Complete rankings are below.
