Girls basketball rankings: Valor Christian returns to 4A poll

Valor Christian Golden girls basketball

(Matt Mathewes/MVPSportsPics.com)

Valor Christian returned to the Class 4A CHSAANow.com girls basketball rankings this week after narrowly beating Golden on Wednesday.

The Eagles, now 11-9, are ranked No. 10 this week.

The top three teams in 4A remained the same with No. 1 Pueblo South leading the pack. No. 2 Evergreen avoided an upset against Green Mountain to stay in the hunt. 

The biggest mover of the rankings goes to Heritage Christian (16-0) in 1A. The school is up three spots in this week’s poll at No. 2. The Eagles defeated No. 8 Briggsdale to leap in the rankings behind No. 1 Kit Carson.

In 5A, Ralston Valley continued its 17 game win streak to keep pace at No. 3 in the rankings.

5A’s lone shakeup comes with Fossil Ridge and Fairview. Fossil Ridge, ranked No. 10 in last week’s poll, switched spots with Fairview at No. 7.

3A added Faith Christian at No. 10, and Eaton moved up two spots to No. 8.

Paonia stayed at No. 1 in 2A with minor shakeup beneath them.

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

Complete rankings are below.

Pueblo South remains the top team in 4A and are still undefeated against Colorado teams this season.

Air Academy (No. 5) and Pueblo West (No. 6) each gained two spots from their position last week.

St. Mary's Lamar girls basketball

(Dan Mohrmann/CHSAANow.com)

St. Mary’s has taken over the top spot of the Class 3A girls basketball rankings.

The Pirates notched a win on Friday night, taking down rival (and No. 10) Manitou Springs, impressing enough voters to move up from their previous spot at No. 2.

They take the spot from Sterling who falls to No. 2.

Only one new team broke into the 3A poll as Olathe comes in at No. 8.

In 5A, Grandview hangs on to the top spot while receiving the news that Michaela Onyenwere was named a McDonald’s All-American.

Highlands Ranch jumps one spot to land at No. 2.

At No. 10, Rocky Mountain is the only newcomer to the 5A poll.

Pueblo South keeps the No. 1 spot in 4A with Evergreen also holding firm at No. 2.

Mesa Ridge made a three-spot jump to land at No. 4 this week.

Palisade (No. 9) and Windsor (No. 10) are the two new teams in the 4A rankings.

Paonia received 16 of 17 first-place votes to keep the top spot in the 2A rankings. At No. 6 and No. 8, respectively, Lyons and Swink each jumped two spots from a week ago.

There were no new teams in the 2A poll.

The same situation applies to the 1A poll as all 10 teams from a week ago remain in the top 10, with just a tweak here and there.

Kit Carson remains at No. 1, but Antonito takes the No. 2 spot from Fleming who falls one spot to No. 3.

South Baca (No. 6) and Kiowa (No. 7) also traded spots from last weeks rankings.

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