With few upsets happening over the weekend, the CHSAANow.com football rankings didn’t see too much movement, although a few new teams did manage to break in.
Cherry Creek remained atop the Class 5A rankings after taking care of business against Overland Friday night. Pine Creek received all 16 first place votes in 4A after cruising to another victory, this one over Air Academy.
The story remained the same for the other classes with Pueblo East (3A), Kent Denver (2A), Buena Vista (1A), Sedgwick County (8-man) and Felming (6-man) all hanging on to their places at No. 1.

In 5A, Fairview returned to the top-10 for the first time since falling out back on Sept. 21. A 47-46 double-overtime victory against Rocky Mountain helped get the Knights back into the polls.
No new teams entered the 4A ranking, but Dakota Ridge did leap two spots to No. 5 after a last-second field goal got them a win over this week’s No. 10-ranked Ponderosa Mustangs. Greeley West fell three spots to No. 8 after a tough loss to No. 3 Windsor.
The Classical Academy joins the 3A ranking at No. 9. This is the first time the Titans, winners of five-straight games, have been ranked in the top-10 this season.
After falling out of the rankings three weeks ago, Faith Christian rejoins the 2A poll at No. 10. The Eagles looked impressive in their 44-0 win over Bishop Machebeuf Friday night.
Wiggins and Crowley County join the 1A polls at No. 8 and No. 9, respectively. It’s the second time this season that each team has made into the top-10.
Akron made the biggest jump in the 8-man rankings, going from No. 4 to No. 2. The Rams beat Dayspring Christian 30-7 Saturday to earn the boost.
No new teams joined the 6-man poll and the order of the team remained unchanged for the most part.
The rankings, voted upon by coaches and select media members, are the official polls of the Association. Polls are released each Monday.
The Classical Academy has taken over the top spot of the Class 4A CHSAANow.com soccer rankings. Broomfield and Kent Denver held on to their respective No. 1 positions in 5A and 3A.
The Titans came into the season with more returning talent than any team in 4A and have had their sights set on a state championship since day one. It appears that an early-season loss to Cheyenne Mountain hasn’t fazed them and they are now regarded as the top team in the state.
Also in 4A, Battle Mountain joined the rankings at No. 7 and Skyline made a jump from No. 5 to No. 2.
In 5A, Monarch (No. 6) and Cherry Creek (No. 10) join the rankings this week. Fairview made an impress jump from No. 6 to No. 2 and are barking at the heels of their area rival, Broomfield, for the top spot.
DSST-Stapleton and Fountain Valley are both back in the 3A top 10 after dropping out in recent weeks.
KIPP, Liberty Common and Vail Mountain each jumped three spots to land at No. 2, No. 3 and No. 4, respectively.

Chaparral has jumped back into the Class 5A volleyball rankings.
The Wolverines (9-4) are now ranked No. 5 in CHSAANow.com’s poll.
Chatfield remained atop the 5A ranking, getting nine of the 11 first-place votes. Also moving up were Prairie View, now No. 6, and Denver East, up to No. 7.
The four other No. 1 teams also stayed put: Lewis-Palmer (4A), Eaton (3A), Resurrection Christian (2A) and Idalia (1A). Lewis-Palmer and Eaton are unanimous top teams in their respective classifications.
Other newcomers include the following:
In 4A: No. 8 Valor Christian and No. 10 The Classical Academy.
In 3A: No. 9 Peak to Peak.
There were no new teams in the 2A or 1A rankings.

Kent Denver has returned to the No. 1 spot in Class 3A boys soccer. (Ryan Casey/CHSAANow.com)
Kent Denver has regained the top spot of the Class 3A CHSAANow.com boys soccer rankings after relinquishing the spot last week.
The Sun Devils regained their position thanks to a 10-0 win over Bishop Mechebeuf on Friday.
Boulder remained in the top spot in 5A after playing their way into that ranking last week. Two new teams joined the 5A poll as Rampart made an impressive jump up to No. 6 and Arapahoe earned enough points to take over the No. 10 spot.
Evergreen hangs on to the No. 1 spot in 4A thanks to outscoring opponents 5-0 last week. Like 5A, two new teams joined the 4A poll as Skyline comes in at No. 6 with Skyview landing at No. 10.
Along with Kent Denver regaining the No. 1 spot in 3A, Jefferson Academy and Colorado Academy each jumped four spots with the Jaguars coming in at No. 4 and the Mustangs climbing to No. 5.
Vail Mountain is the lone newcomer to the 3A rankings at No. 9 this week.

Boulder has ascended to the top spot in the 5A boys soccer poll. (Ray Chen/ArrayPhoto.com)
Three new teams stand atop this week’s CHSAANow.com boys soccer rankings, meaning there’s a new No. 1 team in each classification.
Boulder (Class 5A), Evergreen (4A) and KIPP Collegiate (3A) all now lead their respective classes.
In 5A, Boulder moved up due in part to former No. 1 Broomfield’s loss to Mountain Range in overtime last week. The Panthers got eight of the 10 first-place votes to take over.
Fort Collins also moved up, to No. 2, as did No. 3 ThunderRidge and No. 4 Arvada West. Fairview rounds out the top-5. ThunderRidge jumped from No. 6 to No. 3 after an impressive week in which they outscored their opponents 11-3 in three games.
Broomfield fell to sixth, Cherry Creek is seventh and Rocky Mountain is up to No. 8.
Aurora Central and Far Northeast are this week’s newcomers to the 5A poll, landing at No. 9 and No. 10 respectively.
The top seeds from last week’s CHSAANow.com boys soccer rankings all fell out of place this week. In Class 5A, Broomfield was topped by Mountain Range in overtime making Boulder the new No. 1.
Former 4A No. 1 Cheyenne Mountain was upset at the hands of Pueblo West, which helped Evergreen shoot to the top spot.
The occupants of last week’s 4A poll remain the same, but with Cheyenne Mountain falling out of the top spot, there was some shakeup in the order. Valor Christian jumped from No. 4 to No. 2 and Littleton landed at No. 6 this week, up two spots from their ranking last week.
After recording a 3-0 win over Kent Denver Thursday, the Kent Denver Sun Devils played Fountain Valley to a 1-1 draw, allowing KIPP to take over the top spot in 3A.
Other big moves were made in 3A as Faith Christian made the jump from No. 6 to No. 3. There were also three newcomers to the 3A ranks as DSST Stapleton (No. 5), Jefferson Academy (No. 8) and Fountain Valley — fresh off its tie with Kent Denver — (No. 10) all joined the poll this week
