It’s still early in the 2016-17 boys basketball season, but George Washington has already made some impressive moves.
The Patriots come in as the new No. 1 team in the Class 5A CHSAANow.com boys basketball rankings. In the two weeks since the release of the preseason rankings, they have gone 5-0 which included a three-point win over No. 2 Rock Canyon and a 13-point win over defending state champion Overland.
With a five-point loss to Rock Canyon, preseason No. 1 Eaglecrest falls to No. 5.
Grandview jumped two spots to land at No. 7 while Smoky Hill (No. 8) and Chatfield (No. 10) are the two new teams in the 5A poll.
A 3-0 record over the first week and a half of the season has kept Pueblo West as the No. 1 team in 4A.
Valor Christian also holds tight at N0. 2, despite a season-opening loss to 5A No. 9 Doherty.
Vista PEAK has looked good early in the year, starting with a 6-0 run to start the season. The Bison made a five-spot jump to come in at No. 4 this week.
Lewis-Palmer is the only new team to the 4A rankings, coming in at No. 10.
Colorado Springs Christian holds its spot as the No. 1 team in 3A. Resurrection Christian jumped five spots to come in at No. 2. Manitou Springs (No. 3) and Alamosa (No. 4) each moved up two spots from the preseason rankings.
At No. 7 and No. 10 respectively, Frontier Academy and Kent Denver are the two new teams to the 3A rankings.
Sedgwick County takes over as the No. 1 team in the 2A poll after Sanford’s 74-game winning streak came to an end last week.
The Indians now sit at No. 6.
There was a high turnover rate in the 2A rankings as four new teams broke into the poll this week.
Akron comes in at No. 4, Del Norte lands at No. 5, Dayspring Christian sits at No. 7 and Peyton breaks in at No. 9.
Starting 5-0 has meant good things for Holly, the No. 1 team in 1A this week.
The Wildcats snagged six firs-place votes in the process.
Like the 2A poll, there was significant turnover in 1A this week.
Weldon Valley (No. 3), Eads (No. 7), Peetz (No. 9) and Sangre de Cristo (No. 10) are all newcomers to the rankings.
Fleming, who came in as the preseason No. 1 comes in at No. 6 this week.
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.

For the most part, the defending state champions come into the 2016-17 basketball season as the big dogs in the yard.
Pueblo West, Colorado Springs Christian, Sanford and Fleming all took the top spot in their respective CHSAANow.com preseason basketball polls.
The only defending champion to not hold the top spot is Overland, which did not make the top 10 in the Class 5A rankings.
The top spot in that class goes to Eaglecrest, which finished runner-up last season. Colbey Ross will be back for his senior season and will look to lead the Raptors to another state title.
Rock Canyon (No. 2), Denver East (No. 3), ThunderRidge (No. 4) all got first-place votes to start the season.
(Matt Mathewes/MVPSportsPics.com)
In 4A, the two teams that ended last season all top will start this season in the same position. Pueblo West holds the top spot in 4A with Valor Christian nipping at the heels of the Cyclones at No. 2.
Pueblo West came away with a 70-51 win over the Eagles to take the state championship. David Simental returns for his senior season at Pueblo West and is looking to turn heads as he did in last year’s state tournament.
He’d also like to win a second-straight title for the Cyclones.
Colorado Springs Christian takes the No. 1 spot in 3A after winning it’s second-straight championship. The Lions lose big man Sam Howard, but guard Justin Engesser does return for his senior year.
If the Indians win their season opener, they will set the record for most consecutive wins in state history. They currently sit tied with Ridgway, who won 73 straight games from 1993-96.
After missing out on the 2015 state title by a point, Fleming rebounded to capture last year’s 1A championship and will start the season at No. 1 as a result.
The boys basketball regular season begins Nov. 30.
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.

Defending Class 4A champion Windsor had a challenge to open its season, and the Wizards responded.
Playing for the first time under new coach Skylar Brower, No. 1 Windsor beat sixth-ranked Vista Ridge 33-21 on Friday night.
“Vista Ridge is a great program,” Brower told the Colorado Preps Scoreboard Show afterward. “They’re big and physical, and they were battling all night. Our guys did a great job in the third quarter.”
The Wizards jumped out to a 20-6 lead in the second quarter, but Vista Ridge stormed back to take a 21-20 lead shortly before the break.
And yet, the Wizards had some magic just before the half. Jake Hammond had a touchdown reception with 4.9 seconds remaining, giving his team a 26-21 advantage.
Last season, Holy Family had all kinds of wild games as their offense set records seemingly every week.
Hey, why not pick up where they left off?
The Tigers, ranked No. 9 in 3A, beat No. 6 Palisade 52-48 on Friday night. Quarterback Stone Samaras, a sophomore, had another big game after throwing four touchdowns a week ago.
“He’s done really well. He’s got a lot of good weapons around him, and the kids have kind of rallied around him and brought him along,” Holy Family coach Mike Gabriel told the Scoreboard Show.
Holy Family moved to 2-0, following a Zero Week win over Mountain View. The Tigers have a bye week next week, and then play at Fort Morgan on Sept. 16.
The game was back-and-forth in the first half, with Chatfield holding a 28-19 edge at the break. But Chatfield scored early in the third quarter off a blocked punt, and that really underlined the Chargers’ presence in the game.
Chatfield hosts Palmer next week, while Pine Creek has defending 4A champ Windsor on Saturday.
D’Evelyn began its tenure in 2A with a big top-10 win.
“Our kids just came out with a lot of heart,” coach Jeremy Bennett told the Scoreboard Show. “I’ve told everybody: 3A, 2A — it doesn’t matter. There is good football to be played at that level, and it was a good game tonight.”
The Jaguars rallied in the fourth quarter to win. Geoff Farmar had a pick-6 late which gave D’Evelyn the lead for good.
