  • Volleyball rankings: Dayspring Christian moves up to No. 1 in 2A

    It’s Dayspring Christian’s week to shine in the Class 2A CHSAANow.com volleyball rankings.

    Powered by sweeps over Gilpin County and Dawson, the Eagles are the new No. 1 team in the rankings. They are the only new No. 1 team in any class this week.

    Paonia, who sat at No. 1 a week ago, dropped only one spot to No. 2.

    Yuma made a noticeable jumping, gaining three spots to land at No. 3. There were no new  teams in the 2A poll this week.

    Rock Canyon held its spot as the top team in 5A, but it was Arapahoe, not Fossil Ridge, coming in at No. 2. The Sabercats dropped one spot to land at No. 3.

    Loveland was the lone newcomer in 5A, joining the rankings at No. 10.

    Lewis-Palmer and Cheyenne Mountain remained at No. 1 and No. 2 respectively in this week’s 4A poll.

    The two traditional volleyball powers will face-off Thursday in a game that will in all likelihood decide the Pikes Peak Athletic Conference Championship.

    Montrose jumped into the 4A poll at No. 9, the only newcomer this week.

    Like 5A and 4A, the top team in the 3A poll went unchanged as Eaton holds a firm grip on that spot.

    Valley made the big jump this week to land at No. 3, two spots better than last week’s rankings.

    Pagosa Springs (No. 9) and Coal Ridge (No. 10) were the two newcomers to the 3A poll.

    Fleming hung on to the No. 1 spot in 1A with Kit Carson still biting its heels at No. 2.

    Weldon Valley (No. 4) and Nucla (No. 5) each gained a spot from a week ago.

    There were no new teams in the 1A 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 for all classes are below.

  • Volleyball rankings: University inches closer to Eaton in 3A

    It’s not going to be easy to knock Eaton off its perch as the top team in the Class 3A CHSAANow.com volleyball rankings, but University is certainly making moves with those hopes.

    The Bulldogs jumped to No. 2 in the rankings this week and are one of only four teams to even take a set from the Reds.

    Bayfield also jumped up in this week’s poll, coming in at No. 7 which is two spots better than their previous ranking.

    No new teams broke into the 3A poll this week.

    Rock Canyon remains the No. 1 team in the 5A poll, but Arapahoe is certainly gaining attention as the Warriors jump to No. 3 this week. They were sitting at No. 6 a week ago, but going 2-0 – including a win over Cherry Creek – certainly helped in their leap.

    Fairview is the lone addition to the 5A rankings, landing at No. 10.

    A still undefeated Lewis-Palmer team hangs on to the No. 1 spot in 4A with a unanimous vote.

    Cheyenne Mountain and Valor Christian also held on to their positions at No. 2 and No. 3 respectively.

    Pueblo West has continued to play well and jumped two spots to land at No. 4.

    Thomas Jefferson (No. 9) and D’Evelyn (No. 10) are the two new teams in the 4A poll.

    Paonia is still the No. 1 team in 1A with Dayspring Christian still sitting firm at No. 2.

    There is a new No. 3 team, however, as the Colorado Springs School jumped two spots from last week’s rankings.

    There are two new teams in the 2A poll this week as Fowler breaks in at No. 9 and John Mall comes in at No. 10.

    Like all other classes, the No. 1 spot in 1A went unchanged as Fleming still sits on top of the poll.

    La Veta jumped to No. 3 this week after improving to 16-0 on the season.

    Otis (No. 9) and Prairie (No. 10) are the two new teams in the 1A poll.

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

  • Volleyball rankings: Pueblo West joins 4A poll

    Pueblo West has jumped into the Class 4A CHSAANow.com volleyball rankings at No. 6. The Cyclones have rattled off four-straight wins and haven’t even dropped a set since Sept. 16

    Lewis-Palmer is still the unanimous No. 1 team in 4A and is looking more like the team that won back-to-back state championships in 2014 and 2015.

    Berthoud also broke into the 4A poll this week, coming in at No. 9.

    Rock Canyon is still the No. 1 team in a very competitive 5A class. The Jaguars are undefeated in league play and have not lost since Sept. 3.

    Mountain Vista (No. 4) and Highlands Ranch (No. 8) are both two spots better than they were in last week’s poll.

    At No. 8, Ralston Valley is the only new team in the 5A poll.

    Eaton is still receiving every first-place vote in 3A to hang on to the position it has held all season long.

    Colorado Springs Christian School jumped three spots to come in at No. 2, but University had the biggest jump of the week, improving four spots to land at No. 4.

    Bayfield is the only new team in the 3A poll, coming in at No. 9.

    Paonia still has a firm grasp on the No. 1 spot in 2A with Dayspring Christian still holding strong at No. 2.

    Yuma jumped three spots to land at No. 4.

    There were no new teams in the 2A poll this week.

    While Fleming held its position at No. 1 in 1A, there were plenty of changes to speak of in that poll.

    McClave jumped a staggering five spots to come in at No. 4 this week.

    There were also three new teams in the 1A poll, the most of any class in this set of rankings.

    Holly comes in at No. 8, Heritage Christian lands at No. 9 and Sierra Grande rounds out the poll at No. 10.

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

    There were no new teams in 5A this week.

    The Rangers hold firm at No. 1 in 4A with rival Cheyenne Mountain climbing one spot to land at No. 2.

    Simla (No. 6) and Denver Christian (No. 10) are the two new teams in the 2A rankings this week.

  • Volleyball rankings: Rock Canyon back on top of the 5A poll

    (Ray Chen/ArrayPhoto.com)

    The ever-shifting Class 5A CHSAANow.com volleyball rankings has another new(ish) No. 1 team.

    Rock Canyon regains the top spot after falling off the perch in the Week 1 rankings. The Jaguars came in as the top team in the preseason rankings.

    Fossil Ridge and Denver East are also making noise this week, landing at No. 2 and No. 3 respectively.

    The Sabercats were able to knock off defending 4A champion Cheyenne Mountain on Friday, giving them the credential to come in right behind Rock Canyon.

    The Angels got a huge win over Chatfield last Wednesday, which proved to be a huge factor in their jump.

    Coronado is the only new team to break into the 5A rankings, coming in at No. 9.

    Lewis-Palmer is still the No. 1 team in 4A, getting every first-place vote in the process.

    Montrose (No. 4) and Valor Christian (No. 7) each jumped three spots this week and Niwot and Silver Creek each broke into the rankings at No. 9 and No. 10 respectively.

    Like Lewis-Palmer in 4A, Eaton is still the top team in the 3A rankings by a unanimous vote.

    Three different teams jumped a couple of spots this week as Valley climbs to No. 2, Sterling lands at No. 3 and Pagosa Springs comes in at No. 5.

    At No. 8, Coal Ridge is the only new team in the 3A poll.

    The most turnover of the week came in the 2A poll as a staggering five teams broke into the rankings.

    While Paonia holds on to the No. 1 spot, Hoehne (No 5), Ridgway (No. 6), Sargent (No. 7), Wray (No. 9) and West Grand (No. 10) are all newly ranked teams this week.

    Fleming hangs on to the No. 1 ranking in 1A, as do the other top five teams from last week.

    Kiowa jumped two spots to land at No. 8 while Nucla (No. 6) and McClave (No. 10) are new to the 1A poll.

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

  • Volleyball rankings: Lewis-Palmer new No. 1 in 4A

    Lewis-Palmer volleyball team
    (Matt Daniels/MattDanPhoto.com)

    Lewis-Palmer is back as the No. 1 team in the Class 4A CHSAANow.com volleyball rankings.

    After suffering a five-set loss to Rock Canyon, Cheyenne Mountain fell out of the top spot for the first time since winning the 2015 4A state championship.

    It was just one move in what is a very different looking top 10 from a week ago.

    Holy Family jumped two spots to No. 3 while Berthoud jumped three spots to No. 6.

    Three new teams cracked the top 10 as Montrose came in at No. 7, Thomas Jefferson  lands at No. 9 and Valor Christian rounds out the rankings at No. 10.

    There was also a lot of movement in the 3A rankings, which also saw three new teams break in. Eaton held on to the top spot, but Resurrection Christian made the jump to No. 2.

    Sterling (No. 5), Pagosa Springs (No. 7) and Delta (No. 10) are the three new teams in 3A.

    After rattling off two wins last week, Chatfield is still the No. 1 team in the 5A rankings.

    Rock Canyon and Highlands Ranch each jumped two spots to land at No. 2 and No. 3 respectively.

    Fossil Ridge (No. 8) and Cherokee Trail (No. 9) are the two new teams in the 5A rankings.

    Paonia remains the top team in the 2A rankings.

    The biggest 2A jump of the week belonged to Dayspring Christian who jumped from No. 5 to No. 3.

    There were no new teams in the 2A poll.

    Fleming is the new No. 1 team in the 1A poll, taking five of eight first-place votes.

    Prairie made a sizable jump from a week ago, coming in at No. 5 which is four spots better than its previous ranking.

    Flagler (No. 6) and Kiowa (No. 10) are the two new teams in this week’s 1A poll.

    A trio of new teams are taking over No. 1 spots in the CHSAANow.com volleyball rankings this week.

    With plenty of changeover in the Class 2A poll, Paonia comes in as the new top team. The Eagles have not dropped a set yet and cruised to a 2-0 start.

    Dayspring Christian jumped three spots to No. 5, but it was the bottom of the poll that showed the most change.

    Highland (No. 7), John Mall (No. 8), Simla (No. 9) and Telluride (No. 10) are all new to the 2A rankings, showing that a title run in that class could be wide open come November.

    The same theory could hold true for 5A. Chatfield comes in as the new No. 1 team, jumping two spots in the process.

    Despite a five-set loss to Cheyenne Mountain, Caparral jumps from No. 2 to No. 6.

    Three new teams broke into the 5A rankings with Highlands Ranch landing at No. 5, Mountain Vista coming in at No. 8 and Lakewood breaking in at No. 9.

    Cheyenne Mountain and Lewis-Palmer hang on to the No. 1 and No. 2 spots in the 4A poll.

    Holy Family notched the biggest jump of the week, leaping three spots to land at No. 5.

    At No. 10, Eagle Valley is the only new team to the 4A poll.

    Only one team broke into the 3A rankings as well as Middle Park comes in at No. 10. Resurrection Christian made a big jump to land at No. 4 this week. The Cougars were sitting at No. 9 in the preseason rankings.

    Eaton holds on to the top spot in 3A.

    Kit Carson takes over the No. 1 spot in 1A thanks to a 2-0 start. Previous No. 1 Fleming is also undefeated on the year, but dropped one spot to No. 2.

    Weldon Valley (No. 4) and McClave (No. 10) are the two newcomers to the 1A poll.

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