    Broomfield (No. 2), Highlands Ranch (No. 3), Grandview (No. 4), Monarch (No. 5) and Horizon (No. 6) also remained in their respective rankings.

    Denver East bumped up one spot to No. 7, while Lakewood fell three places to No. 10.

    Elsewhere, there’s a new No. 1 team in the 2A ranking. Peyton shot up from No. 5 to the top spot this week after taking down former No. 1 Yuma 65-45 on Saturday. The Panthers are 8-0.

    Each of the three other No. 1 teams remained the same: Valor Christian (4A), Sterling (3A) and Kit Carson (1A).

  • Regis Jesuit girls basketball No. 1 in preseason 5A rankings

    Fossil Ridge Regis Jesuit girls basketball
    Regis Jesuit girls basketball leads the preseason 5A poll. (Ray Chen/arrayphoto.com)

    Regis Jesuit girls basketball, winner of the last two Class 5A titles, heads the classification’s preseason poll.

    The Raiders received 11 of the 16 first-place votes in CHSAANow.com’s poll, which was released Monday. They also had 139 overall points, edging preseason No. 2 Broomfield (130).

    Regis hasn’t lost to an in-state team since dropping a game to ThunderRidge in Feb. 2013. That’s a span of 28 consecutive wins against Colorado teams. The school is also 42-1 against in-state teams since the start of the 2012-13 season.

    Broomfield lost in last season’s 4A title game, and is making the move to 5A this season.

    Grandview is No. 3, and No. 4 Highlands Ranch and No. 5 Fossil Ridge round out the top 5.

    Also ranked in the preseason are No. 6 Lakewood, No. 7 Cherry Creek, No. 8 Rampart, No. 9 Horizon and No. 10 ThunderRidge.

    In 4A, Valor Christian is the preseason No. 1. Pueblo South is No. 2, and defending champion Mesa Ridge is No. 3. Holy Family, winner of last year’s 3A title which has moved up to 4A, is No. 7.

    Sterling leads 3A’s preseason poll. Pagosa Springs, last season’s runner-up, is No. 2.

    Yuma is the favorite in 2A. It was runner-up last season to Lutheran, which opens as No. 3.

    Briggsdale heads the 1A ranking. Defending champion Norwood is No. 3.

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