Pine Creek, Discovery Canyon top seeds in 4A, 3A football playoffs
Pine Creek is the No. 1 seed in Class 4A. Falcon also made the field. (Photo: District 49) AURORA — Pine Creek and Discovery Canyon were selected as the top seeds when the Class 4A and 3A playoff football brackets were announced on Sunday morning.
Both teams went unbeaten at 10-0 during the regular season, and were atop the final Wild Card points standings for their respective classifications.
Pine Creek is the defending 4A champion. The Eagles are riding a 21-game winning streak, the largest of any 11-man team. Their last loss came to 5A Columbine on Sept. 12 of last season. Pine Creek hasn’t lost to a 4A team since dropping a game to Ponderosa in Oct. 2012 — a span of 23 games.
The Eagles went wire-to-wire as the No. 1 team in CHSAANow.com’s rankings during the regular season. They own wins over five teams which made the playoff field.
Other top seeds, and those hosting first-round games, include: No. 2 Fort Collins, No. 3 Montrose, No. 4 Denver South, No. 5 Pueblo South, No. 6 Dakota Ridge, No. 7 Longmont and No. 8 Windsor.
Montrose was the runner-up in last year’s 4A title game. The Indians (9-1) have yet to lose to a 4A team this season, with the lone loss coming to 5A Lakewood.
Discovery Canyon heads the 3A field. (Pam Wagner) Discovery Canyon, meanwhile, has been No. 1 in the CHSAANow.com poll and the Wild Card points for a few weeks now. The Thunder have a number of key wins, including on the road at Holy Family and over Pueblo East. They also beat Rampart, a 4A playoff team.
On Friday, Discovery Canyon held off an upset attempt by beating Canon City in overtime.
Other first-round hosts in 3A are No. 2 Evergreen, No. 3 Roosevelt, No. 4 Pueblo East, No. 5 Lutheran, No. 6 Rifle, No. 7 Holy Family and No. 8 Conifer.
One thing’s for sure: There will be a new champion in 3A. Coronado, which won last year’s title, moved up to 4A (and made the playoffs). Likewise, last year’s runner-up Silver Creek also moved up.

Classes 5A, 2A, 1A, 8-man and 6-man are already in the postseason. All five of those classification completed their first rounds this past weekend.

Grandview nabs No. 1 ranking after 5A football poll shaken up
Quarterback Cody Summers and Grandview are now the top-ranked team in Class 5A football. (Jack Eberhard/JacksActionShots.com) Grandview, now 8-0, is the new No. 1 team in CHSAANow.com’s Class 5A football rankings this week.
The Wolves took over the top spot previously occupied by Valor Christian, which lost an in-state game for the first time in 28 outings on Friday when then-No. 9 Cherry Creek upset the Eagles 33-17.
Grandview is unbeaten to this point in the rugged Centennial League, and beat Cherry Creek in Week 7. It topped a very solid Overland team 53-13 last Thursday.
But it wasn’t a clear-cut, unanimous vote.
Led by senior Andrew Wingard, Ralston Valley is No. 2 in the 5A poll. More photos. (Matt Mathewes/MVPSportsPics.com) Ralston Valley also had a good claim to the top ranking. The Mustangs are 8-0, too, and won a monster game over then-No. 3 Pomona on Friday. They settled into the No. 2 spot this week, just 10 overall points behind Grandview.
Grandview received 10 first-place votes; Ralston Valley got five.
Meanwhile, Fairview moved up two places to No. 3 after escaping an upset bid from Fossil Ridge.
Pomona dropped one spot to fourth, Cherry Creek rocketed up from No. 9 to No. 5, and Valor fell all the way to sixth. Regis Jesuit is seventh, dropping one place despite a good win over then-No. 7 Mountain Vista.
Rocky Mountain remained at No. 8, Mountain Vista fell to No. 9 and Doherty rejoined the 5A poll at No. 10.
Speaking to the uncertainty in the 5A ranking at the moment, spots Nos. 4-7 are separated by a mere five points. Things could get much more clouded â Valor Christian and Grandview play in their regular season finale on Friday.
In the other six classificatoins, none of the top-ranked teams were displaced. It means Pine Creek (4A), Discovery Canyon (3A), Brush (2A), Paonia (1A), Dayspring Christian (8-man) and Arickaree/Woodlin (6-man) stayed on top.
There were no newcomers in the 4A ranking this week, though 3A added Palisade (No. 10), and St. Mary’s (No. 9). Eaton (No. 10) joined the 2A poll. 1A added Crowley County (No. 10), and North Park joined 6-man’s ranking at No. 9.
The rankings, voted upon by coaches and select media members, are the official polls of the Association. Polls are released each Monday.

Lujan spearheads No. 9 Dakota Ridge football in win over Kennedy
Kennedy junior Victor Horta (4) has his punt blocked by Dakota Ridge senior Nick Gultig in the first quarter Thursday at Jeffco Stadium. (Dennis Pleuss) LAKEWOOD — The only thing that stopped Dakota Ridge running back Jeremy Lujan in the first half Thursday night was a yellow flag.
The junior had 15 carries for 223 yards and four touchdowns before halftime as the Eagles soared to a 44-0 lead on Kennedy in the opening half at Jeffco Stadium. Lujan would have had five scores, but his 22-yard touchdown run in the second quarter was called back on a holding call.
“He (Lujan) breaks that first line he’s got some magic. His moves have moves,” Dakota Ridge coach Ron Woitalewicz said after his Eagles took a 44-6 victory in the 4A Plains League contest. “He gets one-on-one he is going to win that battle. He is a tough kid. We’ll keep riding that horse as long as we can.”
Lujan has nearly 1,500 yards rushing and has scored 22 total touchdowns for the No. 9 ranked team in this week’s CHSAANow.com 4A football poll. The junior was relegated to spectator the entire second half with the 40-point mercy rule in effect with a running clock.
Dakota Ridge quarterback Adam Clary (3) drops back to pass Thursday night during the Class 4A Plains League game against Kennedy at Jeffco Stadium. (Dennis Pleuss) “I never love standing on the sideline,” Lujan said. “These are our games and you only get so many.”
Since dropping their conference opener to Ponderosa, the Eagles (5-1, 1-1 4A Plains League) have reeled off big victories against Green Mountain, 47-0, and Kennedy, 44-6. Woitalewicz pointed to playing a tough non-league schedule getting his team ready for this stretch run.
“I think our non-league schedule kind of helped. I schedule games, not wins. Playing Pine Creek, Standley Lake and Wheat Ridge really got us prepped to play a good football team,” Woitalewicz said. “Our goal right now is to finish out strong and try to get into the playoffs. See what happens.”
What happened in the opening quarter Thursday night went all Dakota Ridge’s way. After back-to-back scoring drives that ended with Lujan finding the end zone, a bad snap by Kennedy gave the Eagles a safety. Lujan zipped through the Commanders’ defense for a 44-yard touchdown run 17 seconds after the defensive scored to put the Eagles ahead 23-0.
Dakota Ridge’s defense got into the scoring act again when senior Nick Gultig recovered a fumble by Kennedy quarterback Victor Horta and took it 30 yards for another Eagles’ touchdown.
“I kind of hesitated at first, but then I realized it was still a live ball and just picked it up,” Gultig said of his touchdown that Kennedy coaches believed should have been ruled an incomplete pass.
With 2:53 left in the first quarter Dakota Ridge staked a 30-0 lead on Kennedy (6-2, 1-2).
Dakota Ridge junior Jeremy Lujan (1) heads toward the end zone as Kennedy junior Jovanni Torres (28) chases after Lujan on Thursday night at Jeffco Stadium. Lujan had 15 carries for 223 yards and four touchdowns in the first half of the Eagles’ 44-6 victory. (Dennis Pleuss) Lujan scored his fourth touchdown on a 4-yard run with 8:39 left before halftime. Dakota Ridge quarterback Adam Clary hooked up with senior Nick Cohn for a 4-yard touchdown pass late in the second quarter to make the score 44-0.
Kennedy prevented the shutout with a 57-yard touchdown pass from Horta to senior Rece Krueger early in the fourth quarter.
The Commanders attempt to break its two-game losing streak when it squares off against another Jeffco school next week. Kennedy stays on the road to play Green Mountain at 4 p.m. Friday, Oct. 24, at Trailblazer Stadium.
Dakota Ridge returns to the field next week to face Lincoln at 6 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 23, at Trailblazer Stadium in Lakewood.

Pomona is third, and Ralston Valley is fourth. Those two cross-town rivals play one another on Friday night.
Fairview rounds out 5A’s top five, Regis Jesuit is sixth, Mountain Vista moved up to No. 7 and Rock Mountain is No. 8. Cherry Creek fell three places to No. 9.
The other No. 1 teams also remained put, including Pine Creek (4A), Discovery Canyon (3A), Brush (2A), Paonia (1A), Dayspring Christian (8-man) and Arickaree/Woodlin (6-man).
