  • Continental League has top three teams in 5A boys basketball rankings

    (Dennis Pleuss)
    ThunderRidge is among five teams from the Continental League ranked in 5A this week. (Dennis Pleuss)

    The Continental League has an early grip on the Class 5A boys basketball rankings.

    With changes this week, league members now own the top three spots in CHSAANow.com’s poll. A total of five Continental teams are ranked this week.

    The group is led by Regis Jesuit, which continued to lead the 5A poll. ThunderRidge remained at No. 2, and Chaparral moved up one place to No. 3.

    Also ranked from the Continental League are No. 9 Mountain Vista and No. 10 Rock Canyon. Additionally, Legend received votes this week.

    The Centennial League has three teams ranked — No. 4 Overland, No. 5 Eaglecrest and No. 8 Cherry Creek. No other league has multiple members ranked this week.

    In 4A, Valor Christian and Conifer had both joined.

    The Eagles joined at No. 8 following a 77-59 win over then-No. 3 Pueblo Central on Friday. The Lobos, meanwhile, are No. 10 after starting the season 8-0.

    Elsewhere in 4A, Air Academy moved up two spots from No. 5 to No. 3, and Pueblo South jumped from ninth to fourth. Palmer Ridge, 6-0 this season, rounds out the top five after moving up from No. 8.

    Longmont retained its perch on top of the 4A poll.

    The three other No. 1 teams also stayed the same this week: Colorado Springs Christian (3A), Sanford (2A) and Sangre de Cristo (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.

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

  • Meeker’s Shelton seeking another wrestling title — but not sure on weight, yet

    [dropcap]S[/dropcap]ince T.J. Shelton was 8 years old, wrestling has been an integral part of his life. Competing in the sport has paid dividends for the Meeker High School student as he won back-to-back Class 2A state championships at 160 and 170 pounds.

    “I had a lot of experience nationally wrestling all over the country and that mat time really boosted me when I got to high school,” the 5-foot-10 Shelton said. “It was very emotional and exciting for me to win state twice. All my hard work paid off each of those years, and that was the greatest feeling in the world.”

    Meeker's T.J. Shelton.
    Meeker’s T.J. Shelton.

    Now, a junior Shelton has his eyes on another gold medal.

    “I need to keep my nose down and keep working hard,” Shelton, 16, said. “I’m going to do what I can. Some people have a target on my back, but I respect all my opponents and I’m just going to go out there and wrestle.”

    This season, Shelton has an 8-1 record and he’s ranked No. 1 by On the Mat at 182 pounds in Class 2A.

    Shelton’s next big test will come Friday and Saturday at the ultra-competitive Warrior Classic in Grand Junction at 170 pounds.

    “I haven’t quite decided if I will wrestle at 182 or 170 pounds this season,” Shelton said. “A lot of the tournaments I will be at 170s, but I’m just going to play things by ear. My goals this season is to do win the Warrior and win a state title.”

    J.C. Watt, Meeker’s coach, praised Shelton.

    “He’s a hard worker, and he has a lot of wrestling experience,” said Watt, a former two-time state wrestling champ at Meeker. “T.J. won the middle school state wrestling tournament and he just never stops working. He’s always lifting and he’s always keeping his body in good shape. I was surprised a little bit that he won state as a freshman at a heavier weight (160 pounds), but he’s just a really good competitor. He seems to always rise to the occasion, and he’s a great teammate.”

    As good as Shelton is in wrestling, he’s far from one-dimensional. As a freshman, Shelton won the 100-meter dash in state track and was second in the 200. Last year, Shelton was a state runner-up in the 100 and 200 events.

    Oh by the way, Shelton also is a standout running back and middle linebacker on the Cowboys football team.

    “I enjoy track because it works different muscles and I also really like playing football,” said Shelton, who also spends his spare time hunting. “I’m not sure what my favorite sport is between wrestling and football. I do love living in a small town. This is a great community.”

    Shelton’s work ethic also shines through in the classroom as he is a 4.0 student.

    “I have received just one B so far in high school and I’m a math and science guy,” Shelton said. “I really like all types of statistics.”

  • Montbello, Mountain Vista join new-look 5A boys basketball rankings

    Troy Green (24) and Montbello are ranked No. 8 in Class 5A this week. (Dennis Pleuss)

    Montbello and Mountain Vista have joined this week’s boys basketball rankings in Class 5A.

    The Warriors are No. 8 in CHSAANow.com’s rankings this week, while the Golden Eagles are No. 9. Both teams are 5-1.

    That wasn’t the only change. Top-ranked Regis Jesuit and No. 2 ThunderRidge stayed put, but Overland moved up to No. 3 after a solid showing at an out-of-state tournament.

    Chaparral moved into the top-5 following a big win over then-No. 3 Eaglecrest on Friday. Chaparral is No. 4 this week, Eaglecrest is No. 5.

    Cherry Creek bumped up three places to No. 6, Dakota Ridge also moved up to No. 8 and Rock Canyon remained ranked at No. 10.

    In 4A, the changes continued. Pueblo Central spear-headed the movement with its jump to No. 3 this week, while Mead (No. 6), Palmer Ridge (No. 8) and Evergreen (No. 10) are all newcomers.

    Colorado Springs Christian (3A) and Sanford (2A) both stayed put atop their respective rankings this week.

    In 1A, top-ranked McClave lost to unranked Wiley last week. As a result, McClave dropped to No. 6 and Wiley is No. 10 in this week’s poll.

    It also left a gap at the top, where Sangre de Cristo is now the No. 1 team. But voters were split, as a total of six teams received first-place votes this week.

    Arickaree/Woodlin (No. 8) also joined 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 are below.

  • Regis Jesuit now No. 1 in 5A boys basketball rankings

    After last week’s big win, it was assumed that Regis Jesuit boys basketball would take over the top spot in Class 5A. Monday, the Raiders officially moved up.

    Regis Jesuit received 15 of the 16 first-place votes in CHSAANow.com’s poll this week, and had 159 overall points. This came on the heels of a 3-0 week to open the season, which included a win over preseason No. 1 Overland.

    But Regis was far from the only mover. ThunderRidge also started its season 3-0, and has jumped from preseason No. 5 to No. 2 this week. The 5A poll also added four new teams: No. 7 Aurora Central, No. 8 Dakota Ridge, No. 9 Cherry Creek and No. 10 Rock Canyon.

    Things changed in 4A, too. Longmont stayed put as the No. 1 team, but there are three new teams — led by No. 2 Golden, which had an impressive opening week, including wins over Vista PEAK and then-No. 6 D’Evelyn. Also joining are No. 6 Pueblo Central and No. 8 Air Academy.

    In 3A, there’s another new No. 1 team. Colorado Springs Christian assumes the top spot there after Colorado Academy lost to Fossil Ridge’s JV team last week.

    New to the 3A poll are Alamosa (No. 8) and Manitou Springs (No. 9).

    The No. 1 teams stayed put in both 2A (Sanford) and 1A (McClave).

    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.
