Mountain Vista girls basketball — Mountain Vista joined this week’s girls basketball ranking in 5A. (Taylor Blatchford/Mountain Vista Journalism)

Mountain Vista has joined this week’s CHSAANow.com girls basketball ranking in 5A.

The Golden Eagles, who have won 11 straight games, toppled then-No. 6 Rock Canyon as part of a 3-0 week last week. They are now ranked No. 9.

Aside from Rock Canyon, ranked teams in 5A went 20-0 last week. Regis Jesuit held on to the top spot in that poll.

However, there is a new team in the 2A poll, where Lutheran takes over for Yuma. The Lions moved up from No. 2 after Yuma lost to then-No. 4 Akron on Saturday. Lutheran also went 2-0 last week.

Akron moved up to No. 2 this week, while Yuma dropped to No. 4. Heritage Christian was the lone newcomer in 2A, joining at No. 10.

The other No. 1 teams stayed put. Those are Valor Christian (4A), Holy Family (3A) and Caliche (1A).

The 3A poll added No. 10 Brush, while 1A added No. 7 Briggsdale and No. 9 South Baca.

Complete rankings for all classes are below.

No. 8 Lakewood gets defensive to down Dakota Ridge in girls hoops

LAKEWOOD — It’s no secret what Lakewood’s girls basketball team is going to bring defensively night-after-night: pressure, pressure and more pressure.

“That’s what we do. We butter our bread and hang our hat on defense,” Lakewood coach Chris Poisson said after a 61-42 home victory Wednesday against Class 5A Jeffco rival Dakota Ridge. “We get a lot of points off it. That’s how we try to win.”

The Tigers (14-1, 8-0 in league) jumped out to an early 8-0 lead by forcing turnovers that led to breakaway layups. Lakewood never trailed and limited Dakota Ridge (10-5, 6-2) to 5-for-22 shooting in the first half.

The Tigers held a comfortable 33-14 lead through two quarters.

“I’ve got to give Lakewood all the credit. They stick to their plan,” Dakota Ridge coach Doug Maier said. “Their 2-2-1 (press zone defense) is excellent and Chris (Poisson) does a great job coaching them up.”

Lakewood had a good scoring balance in the first half with sophomores Mackenzie Forrest, McKenna Bishop and senior Jessica Brooks combining for 22 points at halftime.

“Our plan tonight was defense and rebounding,” said Brooks, who finished with 11 points. “We executed really well.”

Dakota Ridge seniors Lauren Wood (15 points) and Jae Ferrin (13 points) combined to score 24 points in the second half. The Eagles cut Lakewood’s lead to 15 points late in the third quarter.

However, the final quarter belonged to Forrest. The sophomore guard had a stretch of eight straight points to keep Lakewood’s lead in double-digits.

“I just felt (Dakota Ridge) was getting too close and I didn’t want to put that on my team,” said Forrest, who finished with a game-high 23 points. “I wanted to put in my own hands. If someone else was open I would have passed it.”

The majority of the sophomore’s buckets were layups or arching floaters in the lane.

“(Forrest) was on tonight and got a lot of points off her defense,” Poisson said. “We have a lot of weapons. We didn’t shoot incredibly well, but (Forrest) did.”

Lakewood is now securely in the driver’s seat of 5A Jeffco after completing a sweep through the first go-around against conference opponents. The Tigers will put their 13-game conference win streak, dating back to last season, on the line against Arvada West on Friday. Tipoff is scheduled for 7 p.m. at Lakewood High School.

“I feel awesome. It feels great to know that we are halfway there and halfway to achieving our goal of a league championship,” Brooks said. “We can just taste it.”

The Tigers’ lone loss this season came last week in a non-league game against No. 5 Castle View. Lakewood held a halftime lead at home against the Sabercats, but eventually fell 55-46.

Dakota Ridge gets a chance to end its two-game losing streak when it hosts Pomona at 7 p.m. Friday. The Eagles suffered a tough 57-56 loss to Ralston Valley (10-3, 6-1) last week.

“They are going to be must-win games at the end of the year,” Maier said of getting another shot at Ralston Valley and Lakewood. “This team knows how to win. We’ve got a good stretch of games coming up here in the conference. We’ve got to get focused. We are still in it. Anything can happen.”

While a league title is the goal at the moment, taking a deeper run in the postseason is in the back of the Tigers’ minds.

“Last year making the Sweet 16 was nice. Now we expect it,” Poisson said. “This is a really good group and fun to coach. I’m not taking this for granted. I’m riding this wave with these great kids.”

Following a one-week absence, Ralston Valley has returned to the CHSAANow.com girls basketball poll. The Mustangs are No. 10 in 5A.

Regis Jesuit extended its firm hold on the top spot in that ranking, and continued to be followed by No. 2 Highlands Ranch, No. 3 Fossil Ridge and No. 4 Grandview. Castle View moved up two places this week to round out the top 5.

Rock Canyon is sixth this week, and is followed by Cherry Creek and Lakewood. ThunderRidge is No. 9.

The other No. 1s also stayed put. Those are Bloomfield (4A), Holy Family (3A), Yuma (2A) and Caliche (1A).

The 3A ranking added Olathe at No. 10, while 2A added Sangre de Cristo, also at No. 10. 1A, too, has a new team at No. 10 this week: Gilpin County.

Complete rankings for all classes are below.

Basketball at the break: Storylines, surprises and looking ahead

Denver East Cherokee Trail boys basketball — (Kevin Keyser/KeyserImages.com)

As the 2013-14 basketball season emerges from its annual winter break on Thursday, we take a look at where things stand:

[divider]

Boys

Fossil Ridge started the preseason ranked No. 6 in 5A, so it’s not as though the SaberCats weren’t on anyone’s radar. Still, at the break, Fossil Ridge (8-0) has perhaps the most impressive resume of any big-school basketball team.

Among the wins? Defending champion Eaglecrest, at the time ranked No. 3; Grandview, which has since won five in a row and is now ranked No. 8; then-No. 5 Highlands Ranch; and Thompson Valley, at the time 4A’s No. 2 team.

The start has been so impressive that the SaberCats got eight of 19 first-place votes in the most recent CHSAANow.com poll. They still sit No. 2, behind everyone’s presumptive favorite, Denver East, but are at this point a serious contender.

The SaberCats have three players averaging double figures, all seniors: Brandon Bodnar (13.4 points), Evan Smith (12.8) and Alex Semadeni (11.3). As a team, their 69.8 points per game rank sixth in 5A.

Surprise team: Mountain Vista.

The Golden Eagles are unbeaten (8-0) and opened at No. 8 in the preseason, but not many people are talking about them. Here’s the surprise: The No. 5 Golden Eagles lead the state in scoring (85.1 points) and assists (22.1), and also lead 5A in rebounding (36.1) and steals (15.4), and rank third in blocks (5.8) and free-throws made (129). This is a complete team which should also be counted as a serious contender in 5A.

Jake Pemberton (19.1 points, 7.1 assists) is a dynamic player who led Mountain Vista to the final four for the first time in school history a season ago.

Looking ahead: Denver East remains the favorite in 5A, and the early-season performance against a tough schedule has reinforced the talent the Angels have.

Already, East has been to two out-of-state tournaments and played national-caliber competition. They are 7-2, but both losses came in Florida just prior to the winter break. (The Angels are 3-0 in Colorado, with wins over Cherokee Trail, Cherry Creek and Eaglecrest.)

CU recruit Dominique Collier again looks like a player of the year candidate (21.1 points, 4.0 rebounds, 3.7 assists, 3.3 steals per game) and his supporting cast is among the best with seniors Ronnie Harrell and Jevon Griffin and junior Brian Carey.

It’s early, but there seem to be clear-cut favorites in the other classes, as well. None of the No. 1 teams have changed since the preseason.

Valor Christian, in search of its first boys basketball championship in 4A, already owns six wins over 5A teams.

Holy Family, 7-0 in 3A, is outscoring its opponents by an average of 34 points per game this season.

Stat leaders:

Points:
1. Dylan Clark (Sand Creek, Sr.): 26.7
2. Marcus Asmus (Standley Lake, Sr.): 26.0
T3. Brandon Book (Swink, Sr.): 25.8
T3. Nathan Hagemeyer (Ridgway, Sr.): 25.8

Girls

The 5A girls field is extremely deep this year. Everyone knows about top-ranked Regis Jesuit and its impressive college-bound talent, but Highlands Ranch, ThunderRidge and others should make this a fun stretch run.

Consider that at the Nike Tournament of Champions in Phoenix just prior to the break Highlands Ranch, Castle View and Cherry Creek all won their divisions. Grandview and Rock Canyon played in the title games. That tournament draws top teams from around the country.

Defending champion Regis Jesuit remains the favorite. But the list of challengers seems to grow by the day. Among them are teams like Fossil Ridge and Lakewood — both off to surprising 8-0 starts — or Ralston Valley, which joined the most recent CHSAANow.com ranking at No. 10.

Chaparral Lakewood girls basketball — (Kevin Keyser/KeyserImages.com)

Surprise team: Lakewood.

The Tigers did get 18 votes in the preseason poll, but ultimately went unranked until Dec. 13. Now No. 6 with wins over Mountain Vista and Chaparral under its belt, Lakewood has a real opportunity to show it belongs in the top-5. It plays Ralston Valley on Jan. 4, and also has a looming date with Castle View.

Sophomore Mackenzie Forrest has been a star thus far, averaging 20.9 points, 5.4 steals and 3.3 assists per game. Along with senior Jessica Brooks’ 12.1 points per game, Forrest paces a Tigers attack which is averaging a state-best 75.1 points per game this season.

Lakewood also leads 5A in steals (25.0), is second in assists (15.9) and fourth in rebounding (37.6).

Looking ahead: Regis Jesuit has six seniors bound for Division I basketball: Diani Akigbogun (Texas), Justin Hall (Purdue), Kelsi Lidge (Drexel), Neffie Lockley (Howard), Jordan Molyneaux (Seton Hall) and Anna Ptasinski (Lafayette).

The Raiders won last season’s championship. They are ranked No. 6 in the most recent national rankings put out by MaxPreps. They’ve beat in-state opponents by an average of 40 points thus far, going 4-0.

Broomfield is the favorite in 4A. (Pam Wagner)

So, yes, Regis is the team to beat.

Things look pretty clear-cut so far in 4A, too. Broomfield (6-0) has handled everything in its path thus far, and has a average margin of victory of 31.7 points per game.

The Eagles own wins over Sand Creek, at the time ranked No. 6 in 4A, as well as 5A teams Legacy, Ralston Valley and Fairview. They’ve also topped rival Holy Family, which occupies 3A’s top spot.

Stat leaders:

Points:
1. Shannon Patterson (Pueblo South, Sr.): 24.7
2. Amber Corbett (Aurora West College Prep, Sr.): 24.4
3. Savannah Smith (Fossil Ridge, Sr.): 21.0
4. Mackenzie Forrest (Lakewood, So.): 20.9
5. Taryn Frazier (Coronado, Sr.): 20.8

2. Keturah Tatum (Limon, Sr.): 13.8
3. Elijah Daughtry (Englewood, Sr.): 13.7

Ralston Valley enters 5A girls basketball ranking at No. 10

Ralston Valley senior Janelle Feldmann, far left, and junior Morgan Nishida, far right, attempt to rip the ball away from Chatfield sophomore Peyton Gibler during the Class 5A Jeffco League opener for both teams Tuesday night. Ralston Valley came away with a 60-51 victory. (Dennis Pleuss) — Ralston Valley is No. 10 in this week’s 5A girls basketball poll. (Dennis Pleuss)

Ralston Valley has joined this week’s Class 5A CHSAANow.com girls basketball poll. The Mustangs, who went 2-0 last week, are No. 10.

Elsewhere, the No. 1 teams remained the same. Those are Regis Jesuit (5A), Broomfield (4A), Holy Family (3A), Yuma (2A) and Caliche (1A).

Mesa Ridge made the most significant jump in the 4A poll in going from No. 5 to No. 3.

The 3A poll added Sterling (No. 6) and Peak to Peak (No. 8).

These polls will serve as the rankings over the winter break, and through the first part of January. The next poll will not come out until Jan. 13.

Complete rankings for all classes are below.
