  • Four teams join new-look 5A baseball ranking

    Just as seemingly the entire classification heads out of state for spring break tournaments, the Class 5A baseball rankings got a facelift. Four new teams joined CHSAANow.com’s poll this week, and others made big jumps.

    Chatfield (No. 6), Columbine (No. 7), Arapahoe (No. 8) and Fairview (No. 10) all joined the 5A poll. The teams are a combined 11-1 to start the season.

    ThunderRidge continued to lead that 5A poll, following an 8-7 win over then-No. 3 Grandview at Coors Field last week.

    No. 2 Rocky Mountain also got a win at Coors Field last week, beating then-No. 7 Chaparral. The Lobos stayed put in second. Behind them, though, the change started.

    Ralston Valley moved up three places from No. 6 to No. 3, and Regis Jesuit bumped up one spot to No. 4. Grandview rounds out the top five.

    Three of the four newcomers are next, and then Cherry Creek is No. 9 after a tough 0-2 week. Fairview rounds up the top 10.

    The change didn’t stop with 5A. In 4A, Montrose took over the top spot following its win over Valor Christian on Friday. Valor, last week’s No. 1 team, fell to No. 3. Windsor, 5-0 to start the season, is No. 2.

    The 4A ranking added No. 7 Delta, No. 8 Niwot and No. 9 Palmer Ridge this week.

    The No. 1 teams stayed the same in 3A (Holy Family), 2A (Resurrection Christian) and 1A (Stratton).

    The 3A poll added No. 7 University and No. 8 The Classical Academy.

    Teams Nos. 8-10 are all new in 2A: Peyton, Hotchkiss and Ignacio.

    The lone newcomer to the 1A ranking was No. 9 Weldon Valley.

    Because of the large number of out-of-state games this week, and thus, a lack of in-state competition, there won’t be new baseball polls until April 7.

    Complete rankings for all classes are below.

  • Columbine joins 5A girls soccer poll at No. 9

    Holy Family remained the No. 1 team in this week’s 3A girls soccer ranking. (Pam Wagner)

    Columbine, off to a 6-1-0 start, has joined this week’s Class 5A girls soccer ranking.

    The Rebels were 2-0-0 last week with wins over Liberty and Dakota Ridge. They are No. 9 in CHSAANow.com’s poll this week.

    Elsewhere, the 4A poll added Windsor (No. 10), and 3A added Faith Christian (No. 6).

    The three No. 1 teams stayed the same this week. Those are Mountain Vista (5A), Cheyenne Mountain (4A) and Colorado Academy (3A).

    The next new rankings will be out on April 7, due to the relatively light in-state schedule caused by spring break.

  • Valor Christian, Resurrection Christian new No. 1s in baseball rankings

    (Jack Eberhard/JacksActionShots.com)
    (Jack Eberhard/JacksActionShots.com)

    Valor Christian and Resurrection Christian have risen to the top of their respective baseball rankings this week.

    Valor, No. 2 in the Class 4A preseason, bumped up one spot following preseason No. 1 Mountain View’s 1-2 start. The Eagles received seven of the 11 first-place votes and lead this week’s CHSAANow.com ranking. Mountain View slipped to No. 9.

    Montrose moved from No. 4 to No. 2, Windsor is now No. 3 and Longmont — which beat Mountain View twice — is No. 4. Air Academy rounds out the top 5.

    Falcon (No. 7) and D’Evelyn (No. 8) are newcomers to the 4A poll.

    Resurrection Christian, meanwhile, takes over atop 2A. The Cougars got four first-place votes and edged No. 2 Lutheran by four overall points.

    Denver Christian, the preseason No. 1 in 2A, dropped to No. 3. That ranking added Front Range Christian at No. 9.

    The other No. 1 teams remained the same this week. Those are ThunderRidge (5A), Holy Family (3A) and Stratton (1A).

    The 5A poll added No. 9 Dakota Ridge, which beat preseason No. 4 Cherry Creek last weekend.

    New to 3A are Valley (No. 7) and Basalt (No. 10). The 1A ranking added No. 9 Dove Creek.
