  • Volleyball roundup: La Veta bounces back to grab a win over Springfield

    La Veta got a scare in its first set against Springfield. The Class 1A CHSAANow.com No. 8-ranked Longhorns grabbed an impressive 11-point win in that set, apparently setting the tone for the match.

    But No. 6 La Veta bounced right back to win the next three and get a 14-25, 25-20, 25-21, 28-26 win.

    La Veta moves to 6-0 on the season and look to remain undefeated when it travels to Manzaonla on Friday.

    Springfield has another looming top-10 showdown on Tuesday when it heads to Holly.

  • All-state football teams for 2016 season

    The 2016 all-state football teams are presented by CHSAANow.com, ColoradoPreps.com and MaxPreps.

    These teams were created following a lengthy process which included nominations from leagues, and then a vote of head coaches across the state.

    Players were placed onto the first-team, second-team and honorable mention based upon the number of votes they received. In 5A-1A, spots were reserved for linemen and one kicker/punter, while 8-man reserved spots for linemen.

    CHSAA does not determine who makes or doesn’t make the team; they are created entirely from the results of the coaches’ vote.

  • 2016 Volleyball regional brackets, matchups released

    (Renee Bourcier/CHSAANow.com)
    (Renee Bourcier/CHSAANow.com)

    The 2016 regional volleyball brackets were released on Monday, and the qualifying schools all found out who they’d be playing and where they’d be going.

    Find every regional bracket here:

    The 3A-5A brackets had their fields set by the RPI, and the teams were seeded by the final RPI standings, as well, with some changes made due to geography and first-round league matchups. Teams in 1A and 2A qualified for the regional round after playing in districts last week.

    In Class 5A, it was Fossil Ridge who earned the top overall seed after finishing with the highest RPI rating. As a result, the Sabercats will their region.

    Rock Canyon, Fairview, Chatfield, Denver East, Chaparral, Mountain Vista, Rampart, Fruita Monument Arapahoe, Loveland and Ralston Valley are the other 5A host teams.

    In 4A, undefeated Lewis-Palmer rightfully sits in the No. 1 spot. The Rangers are looking to reclaim the 4A title that they lost to Cheyenne Mountain last year.

    Along with the Rangers, it will be Eagle Valley, Cheyenne Mountain, Montrose, Pueblo West, Valor Christian, Holy Family, Berthoud, Thomas Jefferson, Silver Creek, Niwot and Palisade hosting for 4A regionals.

    Eaton stands tall as the top overall seed in 3A regionals and is looking to claim a fourth-consecutive title in 2016.

    Valley, Colorado Springs Christian, University, Bayfield, Resurrection Christian, Faith Christian, Middle Park, Salida, St. Mary’s, Sterling and Pagosa Springs are the other teams that earned the right to host.

    After the completion of district play in 2A, the eight host-site teams were determined. Unlike 3A-5A, which is seeded by RPI, 2A regional brackets are seeded by district results.

    Hoehne, Dayspring Christian, Paonia, Denver Christian, Del Norte, Yuma, Telluride and Colorado Springs School will all host regional play this weekend.

    Like 2A, the 1A regional brackets are determined by the outcome of district play. As a result, it will be La Veta, Kit Carson, Flagler, Rocky Mountain Lutheran, Nucla, Springfield, Kiowa and Weldon Valley who will serve as regional hosts.

    The results of regionals will set the state tournament pairings for all classes.

  • 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.
