  • Palisade takes over atop 3A football ranking

    (Courtesy photo)
    Palisade is now the No. 1 team in Class 3A. (Betsy McLaughlin/Palisade Tribune)

    Palisade edged then-No. 1 Rifle last Friday after rallying from a 27-14 halftime deficit. Tuesday, Palisade is on top of CHSAANow.com’s Class 3A football poll.

    The Bulldogs received all 13 first-place votes in moving up from No. 2 taking over at No. 1. Rifle dropped to third. Unbeaten Coronado, which has the most wins in the state at 7-0, is second.

    The 3A ranking added Roosevelt (No. 10) this week.

    In the 5A poll, Fairview has moved up to No. 2 from No. 3.

    The Knights (5-0) are 5A’s lone remaining unbeaten team, and got one first-place vote. Valor Christian got the other 23 and remained atop the ranking.

    Regis Jesuit is third this week, and is followed by No. 4 ThunderRidge and No. 5 Cherry Creek.

    Columbine rejoined the 5A ranking at sixth after its wild win over then-No. 2 Chatfield. Chatfield dropped to seventh this week.

    Arapahoe is eighth, Pomona is ninth and Cherokee Trail fell to tenth after its loss to Cherry Creek last week.

    Montrose, idle last week, remained in 4A’s No. 1 spot. Monarch moved up to No. 2, and Standley Lake is No. 3 this week. That ranking added Pueblo South at No. 8 and Durango at No. 10.

    Complete rankings for all classes are below.

  • Widespread changes as Valor Christian takes over atop 5A football poll

    The weekend’s turmoil has bled over into CHSAANow.com’s football polls.

    Though, when a total of 17 ranked teams lose in a week — including the No. 1s in classes 5A, 4A and 3A — it’s not hard to see change coming. So, yes, there are new teams atop 5A (Valor Christian), 4A (Montrose) and 3A (Rifle).

    But the change didn’t only affect the top. In 5A, where three of the top four teams lost last week, that meant Chatfield, Fairview, Cherokee Trail and Regis Jesuit all made big jumps.

    Valor Christian leads the 5A poll for the second time this season. The Eagles are 4-1, but unbeaten against Colorado competition this season, and received 21 of the 24 first-place votes.

    Chatfield moved up to No. 2 from No. 5, Fairview went from No. 7 to No. 3 and Cherokee Trail moved into fourth from sixth. Regis Jesuit, which last week knocked off then-No. 1 ThunderRidge, went from No. 9 to No. 5.

    ThunderRidge dropped to sixth, and is followed by Grandview and Cherry Creek.

    The 5A poll added two new teams this week: No. 9 Pomona and No. 10 Arapahoe.

    In 4A, Montrose takes over following its come-from-behind win over then-No. 1 Monarch. The Indians were a unanimous No. 1 pick, getting all 21 first-place votes.

    Falcon is No. 2 this week, and Monarch dropped to No. 3. Loveland stayed at No. 4, Montbello moved up one place to round out the top-5.

    Pueblo Centennial (No. 9) and Longmont (No. 10) are 4A’s newcomers this week.

    Rifle takes over atop the 3A ranking following Silver Creek’s loss to Frederick. New to 3A this week are Mead (No. 7) and D’Evelyn (No. 10).

    Brush continued to lead 2A’s poll, which added Bennett at No. 10.

    Likewise, Buena Vista remained atop in 1A. That poll added Paonia (No. 8) and Jefferson (No. 9). Jefferson’s addition is especially noteworthy because the Saints were a combined 3-85 from 2004-12.

  • Brush in charge of 2A football poll after beating Platte Valley

    (David Samples/lastingimagesbydave.com)

    Brush took down former No. 1 Platte Valley on Friday. Monday, the Beetdiggers took its spot atop CHSAANow.com’s Class 2A football poll.

    Brush, which won the game 28-10, was ranked second last week. It received all 10 first-place votes in the poll. Platte Valley dropped to third, behind Kent Denver.

    The 2A poll added Faith Christian (No. 8) and Aspen (No. 10) this week.

    In 5A, ThunderRide continued to lead the way and received 13 first-place votes to No. 2 Valor Christian’s 11. Columbine remained in third, and Ralston Valley stayed at No. 4.

    Chatfield moved up from seventh to fifth, and is followed by No. 6 Cherokee Trail and No. 7 Fairview. Grandview is eighth, Regis Jesuit is ninth, and Cherry Creek rejoined the ranking at No. 10.

    Monarch stayed atop 4A’s ranking, but there’s a new No. 2 team in that poll: Montrose, which moved up from third. It’s excellent timing, considering the two teams play Friday.

    Falcon is third this week, followed by Loveland, Wheat Ridge and Montbello, which beat former No. 2 Denver South on Saturday. South dropped to No. 8.

    Montbello and Wheat Ridge play Friday.

    Pine Creek was the lone new team to the 4A poll.

    The 3A ranking added No. 9 Delta and No. 10 Evergreen. Silver Creek remained at No. 1.

    In 1A, Meeker (No. 10) was the lone newcomer.

    There were no new teams to the 8-man poll, but 6-man added Briggsdale (No. 4).

  • Douglas County joins 5A football poll following big upset

    (Kay Livingstone)
    Douglas County is ranked sixth in this week’s 5A poll. (Kay Livingstone)

    Douglas County took down then-No. 3 Cherry Creek on Monday night. Tuesday afternoon, the Huskies find themselves ranked.

    Douglas County jumped into this week’s CHSAANow.com football poll in 5A at No. 6. It is the first time this season the Huskies have been ranked.

    Cherry Creek, meanwhile, dropped all the way out in something of a surprise.

    Cherokee Trail returned to the 5A ranking following a week on the outside looking in. The Cougars are eighth.

    ThunderRidge held on to 5A’s top spot — but only narrowly. The Grizzles edged No. 2 Valor Christian by two overall points, despite beating then-No. 4 Grandview last week.

    Columbine bumped up to third from fifth, and Ralston Valley went from sixth to fourth. Regis Jesuit rounds out the top five.

    Chatfield is No. 7, Fairview is No. 9, and Grandview dropped from No. 4 to No. 10 following its loss to ThunderRidge.

    Monarch continued to lead the 4A poll, which added Montbello for the first time this season, at ninth. Along with Denver South (No. 2 in 4A) and Denver West (No. 9 in 2A), it means Denver Public Schools has three ranked schools.

  • Lakewood joins 5A volleyball ranking at No. 6

    (Kevin Keyser/KeyserImages.com)
    Grandview is ranked third in this week’s 5A poll. (Kevin Keyser/KeyserImages.com)

    Here comes Lakewood. The Tigers, who knocked off then-No. 1 Doherty as part of a 6-0 week last week, joined the CHSAANow.com volleyball poll.

    Lakewood is now 6-3, ranked sixth, and even received one first-place vote this week.

    Doherty dropped to second this week, and was replaced by Arapahoe atop the ranking.

    Lewis-Palmer continued to lead the 4A ranking, which added Montrose (No. 8).

    The 3A poll got a facelift, of sorts. Manitou Springs jumped from No. 4 to No. 1, and that ranking added Olathe (No. 8), Frontier Academy (No. 9) and Fort Lupton (No. 10).

    Likewise, there is a new No. 1 team in the 2A ranking: Fowler. C.S. School (No. 6), Sangre de Cristo (No. 8) and Lyons (No. 9) all joined that ranking.

    The 1A poll features two new teams in No. 9 La Veta and No. 10 Rocky Mountain Lutheran.

  • 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.
