Class 3A                                                                    Last Week

1.     Colorado Springs Christian (5-0) 1 (3 weeks)
2.     Resurrection Christian (7-0) 2
3.     Manitou Springs (8-0) 3
4.     Sterling (6-1) 4
5.     Kent Denver (6-1) 8
6.     Alamosa (5-1) 7
7.     DSST-Stapleton (5-3) 6
8.    Faith Christian (5-2) 9
9.     Colorado Academy (5-3) NR
10.   Basalt (6-1) NR
·         Others: Coal Ridge, Manual, Roaring Fork, Lutheran, Vanguard, Centauri, Frontier Academy, Brush, Pinnacle, Machebeuf, Strasburg, Jefferson Academy

Dropped out: Manual (5), Lutheran (10)

Notes: Not as big of a shake up this week but still some movement in the polls.  Your #1,2,3, & 4 all stayed the same and are all looking very dominate so far this season.  5-10 is completely different this week.  #5 Kent Denver has played great so far this year and just picked up their first loss of the season to #4 Manitou Springs. Alamosa was idle last week but have 2 impressive victories already this year.  I have DSST-Stapleton barely ahead of Faith Christian. DSST-Stapleton 2 of 3 losses where to 4A and they have better quality wins but there is not much separating the two schools.  2 Brand new Schools come into the rankings this week. Colorado Academy gets back into the rankings this week.  They have played a brutal schedule playing against 4A and 5A opponents.  The other new schools is Basalt. Basalt one loss is to #4 Del Norte (2A) and they beat another top ten school in 2A last week in Ignacio. Manual and Lutheran both drop out.  Manual has played a tough schedule and could easily see them making a return to the rankings.  Lutheran though the jury is still out on this team but once they play some more in state teams we will get a better picture.

Class 2A                                                                     Last Week

1.     Sedgwick County (5-0) 1(2 weeks)
2.     Highland (6-0) 2
3.     Paonia (5-1) 3
4.     Del Norte (6-1) 4
5.    Akron (5-0) 7
6.     Peyton (6-0) 10
7.     Fowler (4-1) NR
8.     Hotchkiss (5-2) NR
9.   John Mall (4-1) NR
10.  Ignacio (3-1) 5
·         Others: Clear Creek, Lyons, Crowley County, Dayspring Christian, Center, Holyoke, Alexander Dawson, Dolores Huerta, Colorado Springs School, Sargent, Limon,

Dropped out: Holyoke (6), Sanford (8), Ellicott (9)

Notes: Major shake up to the bottom half of the polls this week.  1 thru 4 all stay the same and are really showing that they could be the top of the class this year.  #5 Akron and #6 Peyton also have had good showings this year and are both undefeated.  7 thru 10 are completely new and only #10 Ignacio was able to hold onto a rankings spot.  They have yet to play anyone and when they faced off against Basalt they lost but Basalt is newly ranked in 3A so I left them in the top 10.  #7, #8, and #9 are all brand new teams into the rankings. Fowler makes their appearance in the rankings at #7 with their only loss to Centauri (3A).  #8 is Hotchkiss who is 5-2 but with losses to Delta (3A) and Paonia by 4 they are looking to be a tough team.  #9 is John Mall which is somewhat of a surprise I am guessing to some.  But they have 1 loss to Manitou Springs #3 (3A) and good wins against Dolores Huerta and Rocky Ford.  Three teams leave the rankings this week. Holyoke who could make a run to get back into the rankings, Sanford who recently lost to Monte Vista and are looking at a tough rebuilding process after losing a very talented senior class, and Ellicott who has gotten off to a rough start at 2-2.

Class 1A                                                                          Last Week

1.     Holly (8-0) 1 (2 weeks)
2.     Weldon Valley (5-0) 2
3.     Cheyenne Wells (5-0) 4

6.     Flagler (5-1) 7
7.     Peetz (6-0) NR
8.     Front Range Baptist (4-0) NR

10.     Shining Mountain (3-2) 8
·         Others: Kit Carson, Longmont Christian, Primero, Fleming, Sangre De Cristo, Genoa-Hugo, Heritage Christian, Denver Jewish Day, Eads

Dropped out: Fleming (5), Sangre De Cristo (8), Eads (10)

Notes:  Pretty big shake up in the 1A rankings as well. #1 Holly and #2 Weldon Valley do not move and are both looking very solid so far this year.  #3 Cheyenne Wells and #4 Sierra Grande swap places but are both playing good basketball.  Sierra Grande picked up their first loss to #4 Del Norte (2A), #5 Rocky Mountain Lutheran and #6 Flagler each move up 1 spot as well.  #10 Shining Mountain holds onto a top ten ranking.  We have 3 brand new teams into the rankings.  #7 Peetz is undefeated and playing good basketball, #8 Front Range Christian is also undefeated with three very solid victories, and #9 Jim Elliot joins the rankings with a top ten loss and 2 very good victories.  Dropping out this week is Fleming who started the season #1 overall but have only played 4 games and are 2-2, Sangre De Cristo, and Eads.
