Legend has returned to the top of the CHSAANow.com softball rankings in Class 5A.
Following a 3-2 loss to Loveland, Mountain Range fell out of the top spot in 5A, allowing Legend to move in at No. 1 this week. The win also helped Loveland break into this week’s poll as they come in at No. 10.
Loveland was the only new addition in 5A, but plenty of other moves were made. Ralston Valley jumped from No. 5 to No. 2 on the strength of a 3-0 record from last week. Chaparral also made a significant jump this week going from No. 10 to No. 7.
In 4A, Frederick retained the top spot, and Erie stayed firm at No. 2. Valor Christian comes in at No. 3 and Wheat Ridge at No. 4, with those two teams trading places from last week.
Discovery Canyon (No. 9) and Pueblo Central (No. 10) are the new additions to the 4A poll this week.
Strasburg remains the No. 1 team in 3A after receiving every first-place vote. Brush cracks its way into the rankings at No. 9.
The rankings, voted upon by coaches and select media members, are the official polls of the Association. Polls are released each Monday during the regular season.
Complete rankings for each class are below.

For the second-straight week, there is a new team on top of the Class 5A volleyball rankings. Chatfield has taken over.
The Chargers, now 8-0, went 2-0 last week with wins at Rocky Mountain and Green Mountain.

Legend took over the top spot last week, then was swept by Lewis-Palmer, the top team in 4A, last week.
With the loss to the Rangers, the Titans fell to No. 2 this week. Legend and Cherokee Trail each only fell one spot to second and third, respectively. The biggest jump in 5A came from Brighton. The Bulldogs went from unranked to No. 10, and have now raised to sixth.
Newcomers to the 5A include Lakewood at ninth and Columbine at No. 10.
The top five teams in 4A went unchanged and the overall poll itself remains relatively unscathed from last week. It did welcome two new teams in Berthoud at ninth and Holy Family at No. 10.
St. Mary’s joins the 3A poll at ninth, thanks in part to a big win over Manitou Springs at the Bishop Machebeuf Tournament over the weekend. The Mustangs dropped to fifth as result to the loss against the Pirates, as well as a loss to Resurrection Christian. Defending champion Eaton remained the top team in 3A.
Resurrection Christian continues to cruise this season and was a unanimous pick as the top team in 2A. They the only No. 1 team this week to receive every first place vote. The bottom of the 2A poll looks vastly different this week with the addition of the Colorado Springs School (eighth), West Grand (ninth) and Swink (No. 10).
Idalia hangs on to their place atop the 1A rankings after an impressive 4-0 week. They’re joined in the top 10 by Nucla and Briggsdale.
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.

There are new teams atop the Class 5A and 4A CHSAANow.com softball polls this week. Mountain Range takes over the top spot in 5A while Frederick now stands atop the 4A poll.
Both teams went 2-0 last week while the previous top teams (Legend and Valor Christian) suffered losses.
In 5A, Brighton’s seven wins last week helped them jump from ninth to fourth. Eaglecrest and Chaparral played their way into the top 10. The Raptors came in at No. 8 while the Wolverines stand at No. 10.
The most impressive jump in the 4A poll this week was an unranked Wheat Ridge team coming in at No. 3 and even taking a first-place vote in the process. The Farmers were this week’s only addition to the 4A rankings.
After three new teams broke into the 3A poll last week, only one new addition came in this week as Valley comes in at No. 10. Strasburg remains the top team in 3A and the rest of the poll was relatively unchanged, save for Eaton jumping from No. 6 to No. 4.
The rankings, voted upon by coaches and select media members, are the official polls of the Association. Polls are released each Monday during the regular season.

AURORA — The Dave Sanders softball tournament continued on Friday with games between a variety of different teams.

[WPS_photo_gallery id=”48″]

Legend volleyball, No. 8 in the Class 5A preseason poll, has risen to the No. 1 spot after the first full week of action.
The Titans, now 5-0, beat former No. 1 Cherokee Trail, then-No. 4 Regis Jesuit and Air Academy, at the time ranked No. 9 in 4A, in the past week.
The schedule doesn’t get any easier. Legend has a date with 4A No. 1 Lewis-Palmer on Thursday.
There was much more shakeup to the 5A poll, which is conducted by CHSAANow.com. Cherokee Trail remained very high, at No. 2, but there was a lot of change behind the Cougars.
Chatfield moved up two spots to No. 3, Rock Canyon rocketed from unranked to No. 4, and Regis Jesuit moved into the top five.
Cherry Creek is No. 6, Grandview is No. 7, and then three newcomers round out the ranking: No. 8 Castle View, No. 9 Mountain Vista and No. 10 Brighton.
