  • Grand Junction joins 5A girls basketball rankings

    Grand Junction has joined the Class 5A girls basketball rankings this week. The Tigers are No. 7.

    GJ is off to a 8-1 start this season, and narrowly lost to No. 2 Grandview in the championship game of the Wolves’ tournament on Saturday.

    ThunderRidge continued to lead the 5A poll, while Grandview, No. 3 Highlands Ranch, Broomfield and Monarch also stayed put in the top five. Horizon also held firm at No. 6.

    The biggest news of the new rankings may just be in 1A, where Kit Carson edged Idalia for the No. 1 spot in the classification. Idalia dropped to No. 2.

    The three other No. 1 teams all stayed the same: Valor Christian (4A), Sterling (3A) and Yuma (2A).

    Other newcomers this week include No. 9 Pueblo South in 4A, No. 9 Platte Valley in 3A, No. 8 Cedaredge in 2A, and No. 8 McClave in 1A.

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

    Complete rankings are below.

    Fossil Ridge gave Fairview volleyball its first loss last week. This week, the SaberCats have joined CHSAANow.com’s Class 5A rankings.

    Fossil Ridge (13-5) beat Fairview 3-1 on Thursday. They enter the poll at No. 10.

    Elsewhere in 5A, Rampart continued to lead the way, and Grandview moved up three places from No. 5 to No. 2 after a week which included a win over then-No. 2 Eaglecrest.

    Lewis-Palmer extended its unanimous grip on the 4A poll. The Rangers won a top-2 showdown with Cheyenne Mountain last week.

    Each of the other three No. 1 teams also held firm atop their respective rankings. Those are Eaton (3A), Resurrection Christian (2A) and Fleming (1A).

    Volleyball’s regular season is winding down. In fact, 1A and 2A are already in their districts. 3A-5A end their regular seasons on Saturday.

    As such, these will serve as the final polls of the 2014 season. Regional seeding will post on CHSAANow.com next Monday.

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

  • Regional softball roundup: Columbine stuns defending champ Legacy

    Jennifer Romero led Columbine to the biggest upset in the softball regionals on Saturday.

    The sophomore pitched in all three games her No. 31-seeded Rebels played in the Class 5A bracket, and didn’t allow a run — including a complete-game performance against No. 2 Legacy, the defending 5A champion, which clinched a berth in next weekend’s state tournament.

    “She really stepped it up a notch,” Columbine coach Brooks Roybal told CHSAANow.com on Saturday evening. “She pitched really, really well.”

    Columbine actually dropped its opening game of the 5A Region 8 bracket at Broomfield Industrial Park. That was also against Legacy, and the Rebels fell 6-0.

    But Romero entered in the final two innings of the opening game, and didn’t allow Legacy another run.

    Columbine dropped to the loser’s bracket for the second game, and face Cherokee Trail — a team the Rebels had beaten 12-11 in the second game of the season. Like the first meeting, offense ruled. Cherokee Trail led 7-6 midway through before Romero again entered again — and again shut the opposing offense down.

    Columbine went on to rally and win that game, 11-7, thanks in part to a home run from Carly Perry.

    Meanwhile, Douglas County had topped Cherokee Trail 6-0, and then beat Legacy 7-0 to win the region. It set Columbine up with a rematch, with a berth to state on the line.

    This time, Romero started. She pitched a complete-game shutout, and buoyed by a grand slam from Perry, Columbine pulled the upset, 8-0.

    “I think playing against Cherokee Trail, our bats came alive a little bit and they had a little more confidence going against Legacy that second round,” Roybal said. “Especially after we shut them down. Legacy might have been down a little bit, too, because they just got beat by Douglas County. You catch them at the right time sometimes.”

    The end result was this: Columbine, a No. 31 seed, moved on to the state tournament, while Legacy did not.

    “We told them afterwards it was probably the biggest win Columbine has had in the last eight years,” Roybal said. “We haven’t been a qualifier for seven or eight years.”

    Columbine already had a number of big wins this season, including topping Brighton and Ralston Valley.

    “They’ve got a few good wins under their belts this year which have been huge,” Roybal said. “You know, we’ve never beat Brighton, we’ve never beaten Ralston Valley. And I’m sure we’ve never beaten Legacy. We’ve always thought we could beat anybody, if we played well.”

  • Grandview moves up to No. 2 in 5A volleyball rankings

    (Kevin Keyser/KeyserImages.com)
    Grandview is No. 2 in this week’s 5A volleyball rankings. (Kevin Keyser/KeyserImages.com)

    Grandview, a winner last week over then-No. 2 Eaglecrest, has made a big jump in CHSAANow.com’s Class 5A volleyball poll this week.

    The Wolves moved from No. 5 to No. 2 following the sweep of Eaglecrest, and another of Arapahoe.

    Meanwhile, Castle View joined the 5A ranking at No. 10 following a win over No. 3 Chaparral. Chaparral remained at No. 3, just behind consistent No. 1 Rampart and Grandview.

    Rampart remained at No. 1 despite its loss to 4A No. 1 Lewis-Palmer, which owns the claim to the best team in the state at the moment.

    Each of the three other No. 1 teams also stayed put. Those are Eaton, Resurrection Christian and Fleming.

    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.
