MileHigh Prep Report Week 2 Power Rankings

Week 1 is in the books.  There was only a handful of games in week 1 but the action really picks up in week 2.  I will give a full breakdown of the rankings for each class as the week goes on.

Class 2A                                                                    Last Week

1.     Bayfield (1-0) 1 (2 weeks)
2.     Platte Valley (1-0) 2
3.     Faith Christian (0-0) 3
4.     Resurrection Christian (1-0) 4
5.     Basalt (0-0) 5
6.     Rifle (0-0) 6
7.     Kent Denver (0-0) 7
8.    La Junta (1-0) 10
9.     Salida (1-0) 9
10.   Alamosa (0-0) 8
·         Others: Berthoud, Sterling, Classical Academy, Elizabeth, Brush, Machebeuf, Aspen

Dropped out:

Notes: Just slight changes this week.  I moved La Junta up to #8, Salida stayed put at #9 and Alamosa moves down to #10.  Alamosa only moves down due to La Junta and Salida picking up statement wins.

Class 1A                                                                     Last Week

1.     Limon (0-0) 1 (2 weeks)
2.     Burlington (0-0) 2
3.     Centauri (0-0) 3
4.     Strasburg (1-0) 4
5.    Yuma (0-0) 6
6.     Wray (1-0) 9
7.     Crowley County (1-0) 8
8.     Peyton (0-0) 7
9.    Cornerstone Christian (0-0) 10
10.  Meeker (0-1) 5
·         Others: Paonia, Monte Vista, Olathe, Buena Vista, Colorado Springs Christian, Grand Valley, Platte Canyon,

Dropped Out:

Notes:  Meeker opens the season with a loss to 2A Aspen who was a playoff team a year ago.  Meeker stays in the rankings but drops down to #10.  The reason why is Aspen lost their main offensive threat and their head coach but maybe they are better than what we thought.  Wray moves up to #6 following a very impressive blowout win over Highland and Crowley County follows right behind at #7.

Class 8 man                                                           Last Week

1.     Sedgwick County (0-0) 1 (2 weeks)
2.     Holly (1-0) 2
3.     West Grand (1-0) 3
4.     Fowler (0-0) 4
5.     Hoehne (0-0) 5
6.     Merino (1-0) 6
7.     Caliche (1-0) 7
8.     Akron (1-0) NR
9.     Dayspring Christian (0-1) 8
10.    Rangely (1-0) NR
·         Others: Sanford, Sargent, Haxtun, Mancos, Pikes Peak Christian, Springfield

Dropped Out: Dayspring Christian (8), Springfield (9)

Notes:  Opening weekend in 8-Man had the bottom 3 teams in 8-man all lose and 2 of the 3 drop out of the rankings.  Dayspring Christian is the lone team to hold onto a spot.  Akron and Rangely are new to the rankings after impressive wins.  Akron beat #9 Springfield handily and Rangely got by Norwood.  Sanford also picked up an impressive win in week #1 and nearly moves into the rankings.

Class 6 man                                                            Last Week

1.     Stratton/Liberty (0-0) 1 (2 Weeks)
2.     Otis (1-0) 3
3.    Kit Carson (0-0) 2
4.     Fleming (0-0) 4
5.     Peetz (0-1) 5
6.     Cheyenne Wells (0-0) 6
7.     Prairie (0-0) 7
8.     Granada (0-0) 8
9.     Flagler/Hi Plains 9
10.    Arickaree/Woodlin 10
·         Others:  Briggsdale, Idalia, North Park, Mountain Valley, Walsh

Dropped Out:

Notes: Only 1 games in the 6-man ranks in week 1 and the win was enough for me to move Otis ahead of Kit Carson at #2.  Everything else stayed the same.
