    Mullen, Arapahoe and Heritage all climbed into this week’s CHSAANow.com football rankings after impressive wins over the weekend.

    The Mustangs are No. 6 in Class 5A this week, while Arapahoe is No. 8 and Heritage is No. 9.

    Cherry Creek remained the No. 1 team in 5A, getting 17 of the 18 first-place votes. Pomona dropped from No. 2 to No. 7 in Class 5A, following a stunning loss to Mullen. The Panthers held a 11-point lead in the third quarter but couldn’t hang on. As a result, Columbine takes over the No. 2 spot this week.

    Ralston Valley moved up behind the Rebels and is No. 3. Valor Christian sits at No. 4, and Regis Jesuit rounds out the top-5.

    Cherokee Trail is the No. 10 team in 5A this week.

    In 4A, Pine Creek once again received every first-place vote after they made a statement in their win over then-No. 3 Dakota Ridge on Thursday.

    But it was Vista Ridge and quarterback Elway Tubbs that turned heads this week as they trounced then-No. 7 Ponderosa 57-35 Friday night. The Wolves leapt from No. 5 to No. 3 with a date with Pine Creek still on the horizon.

    The Western Slope added two teams this week as Montrose comes in at No. 9 while Durango makes an appearance at No. 10.

    The record-breaking numbers that Holy Family put up in the previous two weeks came to a halt as they were topped by Palisade in a big 3A matchup. The Bulldogs jumped from No. 5 to No. 3 as a result and even garnered a firs-place vote. Holy Family fell to No. 6.

    Pueblo East remained No. 1 in 3A this week. Conifer was the lone newcomer in this week’s 3A poll.

    A 49-7 win over Denver West keeps Kent Denver in firm position atop the 2A rankings. But La Junta received a huge surge in votes after scoring 27 points off turnovers in a 33-14 win over Eaton. The Tigers jumped from No. 6 to No. 2.

    They are joined in the 2A rankings by Sterling (No. 7), The Academy (No. 9), and Alameda (No. 10).

    The top three spots in 1A remained intact, including No. 1 Paonia. Resurrection Christian garnered three first-place votes after an impressive 42-6 win over Platte Canyon.

    Center is the lone newcomer in 1A at No. 10.

    The 10 teams in the 8-man poll remain the same, but the order changed slightly thanks to Merino’s win over Granada. The Bobcats fell from No. 4 to No. 8 and the Rams jumped one spot to No. 5.

    Dayspring Christian remained No. 1 in 8-man.

    Cheraw and Le Veta played their way into the 6-man rankings, coming in at No. 9 and No. 10, respectively. Fleming held on to the top spot in that 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 are below.

  • Football roundup: Chaos reigns in Week 1 of the season

    It was not a good week to be ranked as the 2015 football season began in earnest.

    When the dust settled on Friday night, here’s what we were left with:

    • Three No. 1 teams lost on Friday night. 5A’s Valor Christian was clipped by No. 3 Pomona. 2A’s Brush, the defending champion, last to 3A No. 2 Fort Morgan, and 8-man’s Caliche fell to unranked Kiowa.
    • Ranked teams are just 35-23 so far in Week 1. That includes three ranked 4A teams which lost to unranked opponents on Friday alone.
    • In all, there have been 16 upsets so far in Week 1, including 13 ranked teams losing to unranked opponents.

    To the games.

    3A/2A: (2) Fort Morgan 47, (1) Brush 7

    Fort Morgan controlled this rivalry game from start to finish — a game that had a new twist with new Brush coach Reid Kahl, who graduated from Fort Morgan.

    “I consider Reid Kahl one of my good friends. When I got to Fort Morgan, the Kahls took me in,” Fort Morgan coach Harrison Chisum told Colorado Preps’ Scoreboard Show. “I’m glad it’s over. It’s tough coaching against friends. He’s an outstanding coach and I have a lot of respect for him. … I’m just glad it’s done and we’re still friends.”

    Brush had won five consecutive games in the rivalry.

    “It was a little more enjoyable this year,” Chisum said. “Five years in a row, they’ve had our number. To finally come out on top, it feels good. The boys did a good job.

    “I didn’t realize it was five years. I think I was trying to forget some of those years. … It’s pretty nice to be able to start off with a win.”

    [divider]

    8-man: Kiowa 12, (1) Caliche 6

    In a rare low-scoring game, Kiowa knocked off the No. 1 team, and defending champions.

    Kiowa led 12-0 after the first quarter, and it turned out to be all the points it would need.

    The win avenged last season’s 49-6 loss to Caliche. Kiowa went on to finish 2-7 in 2014. This win actually snapped a six-game losing streak.

    Conversely, Caliche had won nine games in a row — including a Zero Week game against Soroco.

    [divider]

    4A: Loveland 36, (5) Denver South 18

    Quarterback Ayden Eberhardt had four total touchdowns to lead Loveland to the upset of Denver South.

    The senior rushed for three, and passed for another — and, according to the Loveland Reporter-Herald, kicked a field goal.

    “Our quarterback is just a great, nifty little runner and can do things,” Loveland coach Wayne McGinn told the newspaper. “You don’t know where he’s going. I don’t know where he’s going half the time.”

    [divider]

    6-man: (3) Arickaree/Woodlin 58, (5) Peetz 50

    Arickaree/Woodlin, the defending 6-man champion, out-gunned Peetz in a shootout despite having a young roster.

    “Our starting six or seven have a lot of experience, but they’re in some different positions this year,” Arickaree/Woodlin coach David Saffer told the Scoreboard Show. “And we’ve got a bunch of young kids and they’re just kind of learning high school football and adjusting to the speed and learning what it takes to win at this level.”

    [divider]

    Notables

    • Arvada beat Sheridan 27-14, and in doing so, snapped an 18-game losing streak which dated to 2013. The Bulldogs’ last win came on Sept. 13, 2013, in overtime against Skyview. The program had been 1-22 over its past 23 games going back to 2012.
    • Manitou Springs recovered five onside kicks in its game against Faith Christian. Faith Christian, however, won 46-32.
    • It was a top-5 matchup in 2A as No. 5 Platte Valley beat No. 3 Strasburg 30-7.
    • Cross-classification showdown: 4A No. 7 Windsor beat 3A No. 6 Roosevelt 25-12.
    • In 3A, Mitchell beat Widefield 34-28 in double overtime. It wasn’t the night’s only extra time. 1A’s Olathe beat Hotchkiss in overtime, 29-27, and in 5A, Cherokee Trail beat ThunderRidge 22-15.
    • In 1A, No. 1 Paonia beat No. 7 Monte Vista 21-7.
    • Dakota Ridge, ranked No. 3 in 4A, opened with a big 38-9 win over 5A Monarch. “We challenged our kids all week that they needed to play physical and play tough,” coach Ron Woitalewicz told the Scoreboard Show. “Our kids really rose to that expectation.”
    • Eaglecrest led 5A No. 9 Ralston Valley 14-13 at halftime, but the Mustangs stormed back to take a 33-27 win. Ralston Valley nearly fell victim to a comeback of its own, as it held a 33-14 lead in the fourth quarter but had to hold on.
    • 5A No. 6 Fairview led Grand Junction 21-0, but had to hold on for a 21-12 win.
    • Lakewood handed 5A No. 8 Fountain-Fort Carson its second straight loss, this one a 31-21 decision.
    • Douglas County rallied to beat Arvada West 27-26 late.
    • Chaparral played 5A No. 7 Grandview tough early, but the Wolves pulled away for a 29-12 win.
    • Six more Colorado teams played out-of-state opponents on Friday, going 4-2. Durango, Holly, La Junta and Sedgwick County all notched wins, while Wray and Montezuma-Cortez lost on Friday. So far in 2015, Colorado teams are 8-2 against out-of-state foes.

    It doesn’t get much bigger for Zero Week: One defending champion, one runner-up — both from different classifications.

    On Friday, Longmont, the Class 4A runner-up last season, held off Pueblo East, the reigning 3A champ, with a 48-27 victory. The Trojans got five touchdowns from Conlon Berger, according to BoCoPreps’ Brad Cochi.

    The game was actually knotted at 21 at halftime, but Longmont seized a two-touchdown lead just two drives into the second half. Pueblo East fumbled on the next possession, and Longmont’s Berger scored on the very next play.

    Longmont, ranked No. 2 in 4A’s preseason poll, cruised thereafter to knock off top-ranked Pueblo East.

    1A/2A: (4) Resurrection Christian 15, (5) Platte Valley 13

    Resurrection Christian scored two touchdowns in a span of 1:28, and it would be all the Cougars needed to upset 2A foe Platte Valley, 15-13.

    Scoreless at halftime, Resurrection Christan got a touchdown from John Hecker midway through the third quarter. Less than two minutes, a blocked punt led to another score.

    Platte Valley battled back, and even scored a touchdown to make it 15-13 with 2:37 remaining, but couldn’t convert the two-point attempt to tie the game.

    [divider]

    3A: (9) Delta 38, The Classical Academy 35

    In a game that featured seven lead changes, Delta was finally able to hold off The Classical Academy.

    TCA led 28-24 with 8:29 to go in the third quarter, but Delta was able to rally to take a 31-28 lead heading to the fourth.

    The Classical Academy drove down to the Delta 1-yard-line with a chance to take the lead, but turned the ball over. Delta scored on the ensuing possession to make it 38-28.

    [divider]

    8-man: (10) Sargent 40, (8) Springfield 28

    Sargent built at 32-14 lead at halftime, and was able to pull the upset of Springfield.

    The game looked to be a back-and-forth affair early on, but a 66-yard kickoff return for a score made it 24-8 and broke the game open.

    [divider]

    5A: Cherry Creek 31, Heritage 0

    Cherry Creek, the defending 5A champion, shook off some Zero Week jitters to cruise to a season-opening win.

    Joe Caplis threw three touchdowns, while JC Chery added a rushing score.

    Players and coaches of the year were also selected by a vote of the coaches.
