(Dan Mohrmann/CHSAANow.com)
Dec. 6 | By Dan Mohrmann
Throughout a given school year, the most exposure that fans have to their respective schools spirit teams are what they see on the sidelines during other competitions. The purpose of those teams is to generate excitement and enthusiasm for football, basketball or volleyball teams.
The 2019 all-state football teams are presented by CHSAANow.com, ColoradoPreps.com and MaxPreps.
These teams were created following a lengthy process which included nominations from leagues, and then a vote of head coaches across the state.
Players were placed onto the first-team, second-team and honorable mention based upon the number of votes they received. In 5A-1A, spots were reserved for linemen and one kicker/punter, while 8-man reserved spots for linemen.
CHSAA does not determine who makes or doesn’t make the team; they are created from the results of the coaches’ vote.
A total of seven new teams joined this week’s boys basketball rankings: Columbine (5A), Legend (5A), Centaurus (4A), Centauri (3A), Vail Christian (2A), Longmont Christian (1A) and Ouray (1A).
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.
Voted upon by coaches and media members around the state. These rankings have no bearing on postseason seeding.
First-place votes are in parentheses.

Kit Carson was just a game away from tying one of the most impressive streaks in Colorado high school basketball.
Heading into Thursday night’s game with Class 2A No. 1 Limon, the Wildcats had won 77 consecutive games. The state record for consecutive wins by a program is 78.
Sadly, it wasn’t meant to be as the Badgers won the game 50-15, putting an end to one of the most impressive runs of any team in any sport in recent memory.
The 77-game winning streak for Kit Carson (0-1 overall) began on March 11, 2016. They lost the previous day in the first round of the 1A state basketball tournament, but won their two games in the consolation bracket.
The next three seasons, Kit Carson finished 25-0, claiming three state championships in the process. They entered this season having to replace four starters from last year, which is a tough challenge for any team.
With Limon firing on all cylinders, tying the state mark just wasn’t meant to be.
“Losing hurts no matter when it is,” Kit Carson coach Sara Crawford told Kevin Shaffer of Colorado Preps. “This had a little extra sting.”
One loss does not a season make. Even though the Wildcats are starting 0-1 for the first time in over a decade, they have a chance to get back on track with a game against Wiley on Friday.
Lewis-Palmer moved up to the No. 1 spot in this week’s boys basketball 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.
Voted upon by coaches and media members around the state. These rankings have no bearing on postseason seeding.
