  • Football rankings: Fairview returns to 5A poll at No. 10

    With few upsets happening over the weekend, the CHSAANow.com football rankings didn’t see too much movement, although a few new teams did manage to break in.

    Cherry Creek remained atop the Class 5A rankings after taking care of business against Overland Friday night. Pine Creek received all 16 first place votes in 4A after cruising to another victory, this one over Air Academy.

    The story remained the same for the other classes with Pueblo East (3A), Kent Denver (2A), Buena Vista (1A), Sedgwick County (8-man) and Felming (6-man) all hanging on to their places at No. 1.

    In 5A, Fairview returned to the top-10 for the first time since falling out back on Sept. 21. A 47-46 double-overtime victory against Rocky Mountain helped get the Knights back into the polls.

    No new teams entered the 4A ranking, but Dakota Ridge did leap two spots to No. 5 after a last-second field goal got them a win over this week’s No. 10-ranked Ponderosa Mustangs. Greeley West fell three spots to No. 8 after a tough loss to No. 3 Windsor.

    The Classical Academy joins the 3A ranking at No. 9. This is the first time the Titans, winners of five-straight games, have been ranked in the top-10 this season.

    After falling out of the rankings three weeks ago, Faith Christian rejoins the 2A poll at No. 10. The Eagles looked impressive in their 44-0 win over Bishop Machebeuf Friday night.

    Wiggins and Crowley County join the 1A polls at No. 8 and No. 9, respectively. It’s the second time this season that each team has made into the top-10.

    Akron made the biggest jump in the 8-man rankings, going from No. 4 to No. 2. The Rams beat Dayspring Christian 30-7 Saturday to earn the boost.

    No new teams joined the 6-man poll and the order of the team remained unchanged for the most part.

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

    Complete rankings are below.

  • Football rankings: Buena Vista moves to top of 1A

    Buena Vista has taken over the top spot of the CHSAANow.com Class 1A football rankings following their 53-12 win over Centauri and former No. 1 Paonia’s 35-0 loss against Bayfield.

    The Demons are the only new No. 1 seed after a week filled with few upsets.

    Cherry Creek remains in the top spot of 5A as the Bruins had a bye this week. They traveled to Utah two weeks ago where they beat Jordan 38-35. They return to the field Friday night to take on Cherokee Trail.

    After dropping out of the 5A rankings last week, Grandview is back in the poll at No. 9. Columbine remains at No. 2 after beating Ralston Valley 21-7 Thursday night. The Mustangs, ranked No. 3 last week, fell four slots following their loss.

    In 4A, Pine Creek remains No. 1 after drubbing Pueblo West 47-7 Saturday. But the first time this season, they were not voted there unanimously.

    The Vista Ridge Wolves gained two first-place votes after an impressive 40-28 win over Palmer Ridge, who stays in this week’s poll at No. 10. Vista Ridge is now No. 2, and faces Pine Creek on Friday.

    There were no new teams that joined the 4A rankings.

    Pueblo East is still the top team in 3A, although half the first-place votes went to other teams. The Eagles needed plenty of offense to get by Discovery Canyon Friday night. They took the game 47-36.

    D’Evelyn returned to the 3A poll after falling out two weeks ago. They got a much-needed 49-30 win over Pueblo County Friday night.

    Kent Denver remains the team to beat in 2A after they shut out Ridgeview Academy 40-0. Bayfield leapt over La Junta for the No. 2 slot after its big win over Paonia.

    A 28-7 win over Roaring Fork got Gunnison back in the rankings at No. 10. The Cowboys are the only 2A newcomers this week.

    In 1A, Buena Vista takes over the top spot with Resurrection Christian coming in at No. 2 and only trail the Demons by a single point in the voting.

    Previously unranked Limon made the biggest jump this week as they land at No. 7.

    There wasn’t a lot of movement in the 8-man rankings, but Hoehne does join the poll this week at No. 10.

    There were no newcomers to 6-man, although Hanover (No. 6) and Peetz (No. 7) each moved up one slot from last week.

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

  • Football roundup: Horizon knocks off Legacy with late safety

    Horizon was stuffed on fourth down with less than three minutes to play, and it looked like Legacy might escape with a big win in Class 5A football. But then the Hawks got a game-changing, go-ahead safety and walked away with a 22-21 win on Friday night.

    The game was a wild one.

    Legacy jumped out 14-0 in the second quarter, but Horizon battled back to tie it at 14 in the third quarter.

    Legacy took the lead when quarterback Matt Lynch, a UCLA commit, threw a touchdown pass later in that quarter. Horizon answered with a Cade Verkler rushing score, but the extra point missed, making it a 21-20 Legacy lead in the fourth quarter.

    Late in the fourth quarter, Horizon had a 4th-and-goal from the 1-yard-line. The Hawks were stuffed. But two plays later, Horizon got the key safety. It was 22-21, and the Hawks would hold on to win.

    2A/1A: (3) Bayfield 35, (1) Paonia 0

    Bayfield ended Paonia’s 26-game winning streak in stunning fashion.

    It was 22-0 at halftime, and the lead only grew from there. Bayfield forced three turnovers in an outstanding defensive effort.

    “We had to be physical up front, and we had to stop them,” coach Gary Heide told the Colorado Preps Scoreboard Show. “The plan worked to perfection.”

    Paonia’s 26-game streak was the second-longest in the state.

    “I’m kind of a low-key, one-game-at-a-time, and, ‘No game is no more important than the other’ guy, but this morning, I just realized the opportunity that Bayfield had, along with getting a win,” Heide said. “A game like this, you end up gaining a lot of confidence.”

    Bayfield quarterback Kelton McCoy threw three touchdown passes for the traditionally run-based offense.

    “We don’t pass a whole lot, but when we do, we try to do it at optimal times. Tonight, it really worked out,” Heide said. “Kelton McCoy threw some really nice passes.”

    3A: (1) Pueblo East 47, Discovery Canyon 36

    Discovery Canyon nearly pulled off a major upset, but Pueblo East was able to pull out a win.

    “It was a fun night,” Pueblo East coach Lee Meisner told the Scoreboard Show. “We knew we were going to get everything they had. … We had a heck of a game.”

    This game featured 10 ties or lead changes, including a number in the final quarter. It also had a 99-yard kickoff return.

    Discovery Canyon led 28-27 going to the fourth. Pueblo East soon went ahead 33-28, and Discovery Canyon answered to retake the lead at 36-33.

    Then, with 2:45 to go, Pueblo East took the lead for good at 40-36. The Eagles added a late touchdown to ice the game.

    Said Meisner: “We just kept preaching to our kids: ‘We have to play four quarters of football. No matter what the score is, just at the end of it, do your job, and then worry about the score.’”

    5A: Doherty 24, Fruita Monument 21 (OT)

    Doherty jumped out to an 18-0 lead at halftime, but then Fruita Monument started to chip away.

    It was 18-13 after the third quarter, and then tied in the fourth after a safety and a field goal.

    In overtime, Fruita Monument kicked a field goal on its possession, and then Doherty’s Tequan Baker scored the winner on a 6-yard run:

    1A: Limon 26, (4) Burlington 0

    Limon pulled off the upset of its rival, and improved to 4-0 this season.

    “Our kids really stepped up tonight,” Limon coach Mike O’Dwyer told the Scoreboard Show. “I thought they played really well. By far, the best game we’ve played all year.”

    Of the shutout, O’Dwyer said, “Anytime you play Burlington, they’re so disciplined and so well-coached, you have to play assignment defense and everybody has to do their job and not worry about what everybody else is doing. You just have to take care of your job. I thought tonight, our assignment defense really played very, very well.”

    1A: (5) Cedaredge 40, (10) Center 13

    It was 14-13 at halftime, but Cedaredge pulled away to notch a huge top-10 win to move to 4-0.

    “They had some turnovers and we capitalized on those turnovers,” coach Brandon Milholland told the Scoreboard Show. “Another important piece that I realized late in the fourth quarter is we’re starting to get out of our own way and kind of believe in what we’ve going on.”

    Cedaredge pulled away to 25-13 after the third quarter, then put the game away in the fourth.

    8-man: (3) Norwood 38, (4) Sargent 28

    Norwood was clinging to a 16-12 lead at halftime, but pulled away in the third quarter with two quick scores.

    “We got a lucky bounce,” coach Brandon Alexander told the Scoreboard Show. “We scored quick, and turned the ball over, and scored again. Two scores early in the third quarter, that was really huge for us.

    “Sargent was a great team, they were very athletic and fast, so it was exactly what we had to have.”

  • Football rankings: Mullen, Arapahoe and Heritage join 5A poll

    Mullen, Arapahoe and Heritage all climbed into this week’s CHSAANow.com football rankings after impressive wins over the weekend.

    The Mustangs are No. 6 in Class 5A this week, while Arapahoe is No. 8 and Heritage is No. 9.

    Cherry Creek remained the No. 1 team in 5A, getting 17 of the 18 first-place votes. Pomona dropped from No. 2 to No. 7 in Class 5A, following a stunning loss to Mullen. The Panthers held a 11-point lead in the third quarter but couldn’t hang on. As a result, Columbine takes over the No. 2 spot this week.

    Ralston Valley moved up behind the Rebels and is No. 3. Valor Christian sits at No. 4, and Regis Jesuit rounds out the top-5.

    Cherokee Trail is the No. 10 team in 5A this week.

    In 4A, Pine Creek once again received every first-place vote after they made a statement in their win over then-No. 3 Dakota Ridge on Thursday.

    But it was Vista Ridge and quarterback Elway Tubbs that turned heads this week as they trounced then-No. 7 Ponderosa 57-35 Friday night. The Wolves leapt from No. 5 to No. 3 with a date with Pine Creek still on the horizon.

    The Western Slope added two teams this week as Montrose comes in at No. 9 while Durango makes an appearance at No. 10.

    The record-breaking numbers that Holy Family put up in the previous two weeks came to a halt as they were topped by Palisade in a big 3A matchup. The Bulldogs jumped from No. 5 to No. 3 as a result and even garnered a firs-place vote. Holy Family fell to No. 6.

    Pueblo East remained No. 1 in 3A this week. Conifer was the lone newcomer in this week’s 3A poll.

    A 49-7 win over Denver West keeps Kent Denver in firm position atop the 2A rankings. But La Junta received a huge surge in votes after scoring 27 points off turnovers in a 33-14 win over Eaton. The Tigers jumped from No. 6 to No. 2.

    They are joined in the 2A rankings by Sterling (No. 7), The Academy (No. 9), and Alameda (No. 10).

    The top three spots in 1A remained intact, including No. 1 Paonia. Resurrection Christian garnered three first-place votes after an impressive 42-6 win over Platte Canyon.

    Center is the lone newcomer in 1A at No. 10.

    The 10 teams in the 8-man poll remain the same, but the order changed slightly thanks to Merino’s win over Granada. The Bobcats fell from No. 4 to No. 8 and the Rams jumped one spot to No. 5.

    Dayspring Christian remained No. 1 in 8-man.

    Cheraw and Le Veta played their way into the 6-man rankings, coming in at No. 9 and No. 10, respectively. Fleming held on to the top spot in that poll.

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

    Complete rankings are below.

    The 2015 all-state baseball teams honor the best players in the sport as judged by the leagues and coaches. They are presented by CHSAANow.com, ColoradoPreps.com and MaxPreps.

    These teams were created following a lengthy process which included nominations from leagues and coaches, and then a vote of coaches. Players had to be first-team all-league in order to be on the all-state ballot.

    Players and coaches of the year were also selected by a vote of the coaches.

    LAKEWOOD — Class 4A Jeffco League foes better not forget about Wheat Ridge once conference play starts up in a month.

    The Farmers’ tenacious pressure defense and attacking offensive style led to a 89-34 road victory against Alameda International on Monday night.

    “We’ve got to pressure you and score in transition,” Wheat Ridge coach Tommy Dowd said. “We are pretty athletic and we can roll a lot of guys out there to stay fresh. The encouraging thing is I know these guys are going to work hard every night.”

    The Farmers (2-1) scored the first 19 points Monday night on the Pirates’ home court. Alameda sophomore Anthony Lawson finally ended Wheat Ridge’s run to open the game with a bucket with 2:17 left in the first quarter.

    Wheat Ridge’s pressure defense led to turnovers and layups, widening the Farmers’ lead to 49-15 at halftime.

    “Coach Dowd likes us to put pressure on the ball and full-court press,” Wheat Ridge senior Jordan Jones said. “That’s our specialty.”

    Wheat Ridge senior Vedin Kozic led all scorers with 20 points. The smooth lefty gave praise to the Farmers’ guards for getting Wheat Ridge off to a quick start.

    “I’ve got to give credit to Jordan (Jones) and Anthony (McGinnis). They are our two guards at the top,” said Kozic, who exited the game midway through the third quarter along with the majority of the Farmers’ other starters. “They hustle and never get tired. They just run after the ball and get steals.”

    Senior DJ Roybal was the only other Farmer to reach double-digit points. Twelve of the 13 Wheat Ridge players that took the court scored.

    Sophomore Marcus Wilcox’s 10 points led Alameda (0-4).

    The Pirates moved out of the 4A Jeffco League and entered the 4A Colorado 7 League for the current two-year cycle. However, Alameda scheduled non-conference games against former league rivals Arvada, Conifer and Wheat Ridge before heading into its new conference in January.

    Alameda plays in the inaugural Tom McCormick Classic at Arvada High School that begins Wednesday. The Pirates open the tournament at 5 p.m. Wednesday against Conifer.

    Looking ahead, Wheat Ridge dives into its conference schedule Jan. 7 at Valor Christian. The league looks to be shaping up as one of the deepest in 4A.

    Two 4A Jeffco teams were ranked in the top 10 of this week’s CHSAANow.com 4A boys basketball poll. Golden entered the rankings at No. 2 with a strong 3-0 opening week. D’Evelyn hopped up a spot to No. 5. Other 4A Jeffco teams Valor, Conifer and Evergreen also received votes.

    “I think Golden is the class of the deal right now if I was to pick,” Dowd said. “It’s going to be tough. It’s going to be a pretty formidable league. I like our chances. We are going to make it hard on anybody on any night.”

    The Farmers might be able to garner some more attention if they are able to pile up more non-league victories before conference begins in a month.

    Wheat Ridge stays on the road for its next three games before the winter break. The Farmers travels to Aurora face Gateway on Wednesday. Tipoff is scheduled for 6:30 p.m.

    “I feel like we are a top team as well,” Kozic said of the ranked 4A Jeffco teams. “When we meet we’ll see what happens.”
