    It appears that defending girls basketball state champions are going to have their work cut out for them in 2016-17.

    Only Valor Christian comes in as a No. 1 team in the CHSAANow.com preseason girls basketball rankings as a team who also finished the season hoisting a state championship trophy.

    The Eagles won their second-straight Class 4A title last year, beating league rival Evergreen 55-40.

    The Cougars will start the season at No. 4.

    Led by Michaela Onyenwere, Grandview comes in as the top team in 5A. The Wolves advanced to the Final 4 last season, but lost a heartbreaker to eventual state champion ThunderRidge.

    The Grizzlies did not break into the top 10 to start the season.

    In 3A, it’s the 2016 state runner-up Manitou Springs who comes in as the No.1 team to start the year.

    The Mustangs return senior Shelby Megyeri, who is regarded as one of the top guards in the state.

    Defending 3A champion, Lutheran lands at No. 4 in the 3A poll.

    Like the 3A poll, it’s the runner-up that will start the season at No. 1 in 2A. After falling to Yuma 55-46 in the 2A title game, Paonia will start the 2016-17 season as the top team in the class.

    Yuma isn’t far behind though as the defending champ sit at No. 2.

    A stunning upset in the first round of the 1A state tournament ended Kit Carson’s bid at a state title, but the Wildcats find themselves as the team to beat to start this season.

    They take the No. 1 spot in the preseason 1A rankings.

    Idalia comes into the season at No. 4 after claiming last year’s 1A title.

    The girls basketball regular season will begin 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.

    Complete rankings are below.

    2016 CHSAA State Baseball Championships Class 2A regional/state bracket

    The higher-seeded team is the home team through the championship.

  • Baseball rankings: Silver Creek returns to No. 1 in 4A

    For the third time this season, Silver Creek sits atop the Class 4A CHSAANow.com baseball rankings.

    The Raptors came away with two key wins last week, one against Northridge and one against Greeley Central. They’ll finish their regular with one game against Greeley Central and two against Mountain View this week.

    Mountain View was the No. 1 team in last week’s poll and sits at No. 2 this week.

    Denver North is the only new team in the poll, landing at No. 8.

    Pine Creek holds on to their No. 1 spot in 5A. The Eagles will see action every day this week as they close out the regular season.

    Ralston Valley (No. 6) and Rocky Mountain (No. 8) are the new additions to the 5A poll this week.

    Eaton remains the unanimous No. 1 team in 3A.

    La Junta jumped four spots this week to land at No. 6 ahead of the Tri-Peaks League crossover games this weekend.

    Brush is back in the 3A poll, taking the No. 10 spot this week.

    Paonia is still undefeated and as a result, still the No. 1 team in 2A.

    County Line (McClave/Wiley) jumped a couple of spots to land at No. 3 and even snagged two first-place votes along the way.

    Crowley County is the only new addition to the 2A poll as the Chargers land at No. 9.

    Granada hung on to the No. 1 spot in 1A.

    Gilpin County broke into that poll, taking the No. 10 spot this week.

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

    With some regular seasons already over, and others winding down, these will serve as the final rankings of the regular season in all classes. Postseason brackets will be released on CHSAANow.com when they become available.

    Complete rankings for all classes are below.

  • Baseball rankings: 4A rankings shaken up from top to bottom

    For the fourth consecutive week, the top team in the Class 4A CHSAANow.com baseball rankings has failed to hold on to its spot.

    Mountain View is the new No. 1 team in the poll, and is the third different team in 4A to be ranked No. 1 this season.

    They dropped a heartbreaker to Northridge on Wednesday before taking two games from Greeley Central in three days.

    Fresh off taking control of the South Central League last Wednesday, the Pueblo West Cyclones climb to No. 2 and appear poised to make a run at state championship.

    Valor Christian made a sizable jump this week, landing at No. 4, five spots up from its ranking a week ago.

    Longmont breaks into the top-10 at No. 6, one spot higher than Windsor who is also new to the poll.

    Pine Creek remains the top team in 5A and have still only lost once on the year. Grandview and ThunderRidge trade places at No. 2 and No. 3.

    Fort Collins (No. 6) and Regis Jesuit (No. 7) each climb three spots from last week’s rankings.

    Legacy and Dakota Ridge are the two new teams in 5A, coming in at No. 8 and No. 10 respectively.

    Eaton remains the unanimous No. 1 team in 3A and have yet to yield their ranking at any time this season.

    University made the climb from No. 5 to No. 2 after an impressive week where they went 5-0, including two wins over league rival Brush.

    St. Mary’s jumped to No. 5 thanks in part of splitting a double-header with No. 3 Lamar on Friday.

    Sheridan is the lone newcomer to 3A, landing at No. 9.

    Paonia took six of 10 first-place votes to remain the No. 1 team in 2A. Swink made the biggest jump in the class, coming in three spots better than last week. The Lions land at No. 4 this week.

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

    There was no change at the top of the 1A poll as Granada remains the No. 1 team. The top five teams from last week held on to their position.

    Genoa-Hugo is the only new team in the 1A poll, coming in at No. 8 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.

  • Baseball rankings: Three new No. 1 teams in the polls, including Pine Creek atop 5A

    Three out of the five No. 1 positions in the CHSAANow.com baseball rankings have a different look from a week ago.

    Pine Creek takes over as the top team in Class 5A, Silver Creek returns to the top spot in 4A and Granada comes in as the new No. 1 team in 1A.

    The Eagles take over as No. 1 in 5A after beating Palmer 10-0 last week, avenging a loss to the Terrors that occurred only days earlier. It is the only loss of the season for Pine Creek.

    ThunderRidge is nipping right at the heels of the Eagles as they sit only nine points back in voting. The Grizzlies took down Douglas County last Wednesday in a big Continental League win.

    Lakewood (No. 7) and Cherokee Trail (No. 8) are the new additions to the 5A rankings this week.

    Silver Creek takes back the top spot in 4A only a week after losing a grasp on the position. The Raptors went 2-0 last week, topping Northridge and Longmont to improve their record to 9-2 overall.

    The bottom half of the rankings saw an influx of new teams as Northridge comes in at No. 7, Pueblo South lands at No. 8 and Palmer Ridge rounds out the rankings at No. 10.

    The still-undefeated Eaton Reds remain the unanimous No. 1 team in 3A this week.

    St. Mary’s is the only new team to that poll coming off a double-header sweep of La Junta on Friday. The Pirates come in at No. 8 this week.

    Paonia edged out Sedgwick County by three points to remain the No. 1 team in 2A this week. Akron and Dayspring Christian are the new additions in 2A, coming in at No. 9 and No. 10 respectively.

    A 10-6 win over then No. 1 Holly on Friday was good enough to boost Granada to the top spot in the 1A poll.

    Manzanola was able to break into the rankings at No. 6 while Stratton/Liberty is the other new addition, coming in at No. 10.

    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.

  • Baseball rankings: Chatfield takes over as No. 1 in 5A

    Chatfield was the big benefactor of two Regis Jesuit losses last week.

    The Chargers come into this week as the new No. 1 team in the Class 5A CHSAANow.com baseball poll. Monday they topped Arapahoe, and had a huge Thursday showdown with the then No. 1 Raiders.

    Regis Jesuit was coming off a loss to Fairview and was looking to bounce back, but a seven-run sixth inning for the Chargers was good enough to get the win. As a result, despite losing to Bear Creek on Saturday, Chatfield sits atop the 5A rankings.

    ThunderRidge made the most impressive jump of the week to land at No. 2. They were the No. 9 team in last week’s poll.

    Fort Collins has played well enough that it broke into the rankings this week at No. 9 respectively.

    The 4A rankings also saw a new No. 1 team emerge as D’Evelyn reclaims the top spot that Silver Creek had taken a week ago.

    There were two new teams in the 4A poll as Mountain View comes in at No. 5 and Pueblo Centennial rounds out the rankings at No. 10.

    The Eaton Reds remain undefeated on the year and also remain the No. 1 team in the 3A poll. The top four teams from a week ago held on to their spot this week.

    The Academy was the only new team to break into the 3A rankings, landing at No. 10.

    Paonia swept all four games they played last week to hold on to their No. 1 ranking in 2A.

    Front Range Christian, who remains undefeated on the year at 8-0, breaks into the 2A polls at No. 9. The Falcons were the only newcomer this week.

    Holly is still the No. 1 team in 1A, getting five of nine first-place votes.

    Fleming jumped two spots to land at No. 2 and Gilpin County is the only new team in the 1A poll, landing at No. 8.

    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.

  • Baseball rankings: Three new No. 1 teams take over

    Three new No. 1 teams were crowned this week in the CHSAANow.com baseball rankings.

    Silver Creek now stands atop the Class 4A poll, Paonia takes over as the top 2A team and Holly comes at No. 1 in the 1A rankings.

    With new teams breaking into every poll this week, the rankings have a much different look to them than they did when the last new set was released two weeks ago.

    Silver Creek made the most impressive jump out of any other team, regardless of classification. Two weeks ago, the Raptors held the No. 7 position in 4A and after rattling off three wins in Arizona, the voters saw enough to boost their position.

    Canon City, Pueblo East and Valor Christian also had solid outings since spring break and played their way in the rankings. Canon City lands at No. 3, Pueblo East comes in at No. 4 and Valor Christian takes over the No. 7 spot that Silver Creek held in the previous rankings.

    Regis Jesuit remains the top team in 5A.

    Ralston Valley gained ground in this week’s poll, jumping from No. 9 to No. 6.

    Douglas County, ThunderRidge and Heritage join the 5A rankings at No. 8, No. 9 and No. 10 respectively.

    Eaton may still be the top team in 3A, but it’s No. 2 Bayfield who suddenly getting attention from voters. The Wolverines completed a successful road trip to Colorado Springs where they held on to beat St. Mary’s before holding off Lamar and Manitou Springs in a double-header.

    Kent Denver was the lone addition to the 3A poll at No. 9.

    Paonia’s 8-0 start to the season was good enough for the Eagles to jump three spots and take over the No. 1 spot in 2A. They swept former No. 1 Resurrection Christian in a double-header on Saturday.

    The Cougars fell to No. 5 as a result.

    Rocky Ford (No. 6) and Limon (No. 10) joined the 2A rankings this week.

    Holly made the two-spot jump after a 2-1 start to their season to become the new No. 1 team in 1A.

    Granada, who was ranked No. 7 in the previous rankings, also made a significant jump this week as the Bobcats come in at No. 2.

    Rocky Mountain Lutheran and Briggsdale are the two new teams to the 1A rankings, coming in at No. 7 and No. 8 respectively.

    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.
