    Pueblo South is the team to beat in the Class 4A girls basketball rankings. At least for this week.

    The Colts are the new No. 1 team in the 4A poll, uprooting Evergreen, which fell one spot to No. 2.

    Other Pueblo-area schools shot up the rankings as well with Pueblo East coming in at No. 4 and Pueblo West going from unranked to No. 6.

    Grandview holds its spot at No. 1 in the 5A poll, taking all 15 first-place votes.

    Doherty made a significant climb, land three spots better at No. 5.

    Fossil Ridge rounds out the rankings at No. 10 and is the only new team in the 5A poll.

    Sterling and St. Mary’s each remain undefeated and have yet to relinquish their spots at No. 1 and No. 2 in 3A. 

    The Pirates looked strong in a win over Lamar on Friday and Sterling was able to edge out No. 10 Manitou Springs on Saturday.

    Liberty Common made a four-spot jump to land at No. 3 this week. There are no new teams in the 3A poll.

    Paonia is still the unanimous No. 1 team in 2A. There were no significant jumps this week, but Del Norte (No. 4), Haxtun (No. 5), Evangelical Christian (No. 7) and Highland (No. 9) are all one position better than the previous rankings. 

    There are no new teams in the 2A poll.

    Kit Carson remains the No. 1 team in 1A with Fleming and Antonio also holding strong at No. 2 and No. 3 respectively.

    South Baca improved by two spots to land at No. 7.

    La Veta (No. 8), Briggsdale (No. 9) and Holly (No. 10) are the three new teams to crack 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.

    Complete rankings are below.

    There’s a new top dog in the Class 4A CHSAANow.com girls basketball rankings. 

    Undefeated Evergreen, the 4A state runner-up last season assumes the No. 1 spot this week.

    Pueblo South is right behind the Cougars at No. 2 and D’Evelyn climbed three spots to land at No. 3.

    At No. 5 Golden also jumped three spots this week. 

    Pueblo East is the lone newcomer to the 4A poll at No. 8.

    In 5A, Grandview holds its spot at No. 1.

    Overall, the top five teams from a week ago went unchanged.

    Doherty (No. 8) and Fruita Monument (No. 10) are the two new teams in the 5A rankings.

    Like 5A, the top five teams from last week’s 3A poll remain the same, including Sterling at No. 1.

    Moffat County breaks into the 3A poll at No. 9.

    Paonia stays at No. 1 in 2A with a unanimous vote.

    Soroco (No. 4) and Lyons (No. 7) each jumped a spot from a week ago.

    Evangelical Christian is the only new team in 2A, coming in at No. 8.

    Kit Carson holds its spot at No. 1 in the 1A poll with Kit Carson also holding firm at No. 2.

    Three new teams broke into the rankings this week with De Beque (No. 7), Arickaree/Woodlin (No. 8) and South Baca (No. 9) all playing their way in.

    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.

  • All-state football teams for 2016 season

    The 2016 all-state football teams are presented by CHSAANow.com, ColoradoPreps.com and MaxPreps.

    These teams were created following a lengthy process which included nominations from leagues, and then a vote of head coaches across the state.

    Players were placed onto the first-team, second-team and honorable mention based upon the number of votes they received. In 5A-1A, spots were reserved for linemen and one kicker/punter, while 8-man reserved spots for linemen.

    CHSAA does not determine who makes or doesn’t make the team; they are created entirely from the results of the coaches’ vote.

  • Girls basketball rankings: Grandview, Valor Christian among preseason favorites

    Grandview girls basketball team
    (Matt Mathewes/MVPSportsPics.com)

    It appears that defending girls basketball state champions are going to have their work cut out for them in 2016-17.

    Only Valor Christian comes in as a No. 1 team in the CHSAANow.com preseason girls basketball rankings as a team who also finished the season hoisting a state championship trophy.

    The Eagles won their second-straight Class 4A title last year, beating league rival Evergreen 55-40.

    The Cougars will start the season at No. 4.

    Led by Michaela Onyenwere, Grandview comes in as the top team in 5A. The Wolves advanced to the Final 4 last season, but lost a heartbreaker to eventual state champion ThunderRidge.

    The Grizzlies did not break into the top 10 to start the season.

    In 3A, it’s the 2016 state runner-up Manitou Springs who comes in as the No.1 team to start the year.

    The Mustangs return senior Shelby Megyeri, who is regarded as one of the top guards in the state.

    Defending 3A champion, Lutheran lands at No. 4 in the 3A poll.

    Like the 3A poll, it’s the runner-up that will start the season at No. 1 in 2A. After falling to Yuma 55-46 in the 2A title game, Paonia will start the 2016-17 season as the top team in the class.

    Yuma isn’t far behind though as the defending champ sit at No. 2.

    A stunning upset in the first round of the 1A state tournament ended Kit Carson’s bid at a state title, but the Wildcats find themselves as the team to beat to start this season.

    They take the No. 1 spot in the preseason 1A rankings.

    Idalia comes into the season at No. 4 after claiming last year’s 1A title.

    The girls basketball regular season will begin Nov. 30.

    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.

  • Volleyball rankings: Rock Canyon back on top of the 5A poll

    Rock Canyon Legend volleyball
    (Ray Chen/ArrayPhoto.com)

    The ever-shifting Class 5A CHSAANow.com volleyball rankings has another new(ish) No. 1 team.

    Rock Canyon regains the top spot after falling off the perch in the Week 1 rankings. The Jaguars came in as the top team in the preseason rankings.

    Fossil Ridge and Denver East are also making noise this week, landing at No. 2 and No. 3 respectively.

    The Sabercats were able to knock off defending 4A champion Cheyenne Mountain on Friday, giving them the credential to come in right behind Rock Canyon.

    The Angels got a huge win over Chatfield last Wednesday, which proved to be a huge factor in their jump.

    Coronado is the only new team to break into the 5A rankings, coming in at No. 9.

    Lewis-Palmer is still the No. 1 team in 4A, getting every first-place vote in the process.

    Montrose (No. 4) and Valor Christian (No. 7) each jumped three spots this week and Niwot and Silver Creek each broke into the rankings at No. 9 and No. 10 respectively.

    Like Lewis-Palmer in 4A, Eaton is still the top team in the 3A rankings by a unanimous vote.

    Three different teams jumped a couple of spots this week as Valley climbs to No. 2, Sterling lands at No. 3 and Pagosa Springs comes in at No. 5.

    At No. 8, Coal Ridge is the only new team in the 3A poll.

    The most turnover of the week came in the 2A poll as a staggering five teams broke into the rankings.

    While Paonia holds on to the No. 1 spot, Hoehne (No 5), Ridgway (No. 6), Sargent (No. 7), Wray (No. 9) and West Grand (No. 10) are all newly ranked teams this week.

    Fleming hangs on to the No. 1 ranking in 1A, as do the other top five teams from last week.

    Kiowa jumped two spots to land at No. 8 while Nucla (No. 6) and McClave (No. 10) are new to the 1A poll.

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

    Complete rankings for all classes are below.
