  • Lots of changes to girls basketball rankings, including Lakewood at No. 3

    This week’s CHSAANow.com girls basketball rankings look mighty different than they did a week ago.

    No, there are no new No. 1 teams in any of the five classifications. However, there were a number of big movers.

    Included, in 5A: Lakewood going from No. 6 to No. 3, Mountain Vista from No. 9 to No. 4 and Cherry Creek from No. 8 to No. 6.

    Lakewood has now won eight games in a row. Mountain Vista, meanwhile, beat then-No. 5 ThunderRidge last week.

    Rock Canyon shoulders at least part of the blame for the shakeup. The Jaguars upset then-No. 4 Highlands Ranch last week as they went 3-0, and are now ranked No. 10.

    Highlands Ranch tumbled to No. 9 after losing its third-straight game. ThunderRidge dropped to No. 8.

    Regis Jesuit stayed atop 5A, and Grandview remained at No. 2.

    The week’s other big mover was Peak to Peak, which went from No. 9 to No. 4 in 3A. That ranking added three new teams this week: No. 7 Platte Valley, No. 8 Grand Valley and No. 10 Trinidad.

    Other newcomers: No. 10 Palmer Ridge in 4A and No. 10 Heritage Christian in 2A.

    Broomfield (4A), Holy Family (3A), Lutheran (2A) and Caliche (1A) all stay atop their respective polls this week.

    Complete rankings for all classes are below.

    Chatfield senior Jaelyn Gonzales, left, and Ralston Valley junior Morgan Nishida battle for a loose ball Tuesday during a Class 5A Jeffco League opener at Chatfield High School. Nishida scored a game-high 16 points in the Mustangs' 60-51 victory. (Dennis Pleuss)
    Ralston Valley is back in the 5A girls basketball ranking this week. (Dennis Pleuss)

    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.
