MileHigh Prep Report Boys Basketball Week 5 Rankings (Class 3A thru 1A)
We move into 2023 and I feel this is when things really start to matter in terms of Districts, Regionals, and State. I feel the basketball season has 4 parts. Part 1 is before Christmas, Part 2 is after Christmas/League Play, Part 3 is the District Tournament/Regionals, and Part 4 is the State Tournament. Also, this week or next week look for an article by Kerry Sherman on 1A Boys and Girls basketball.

| 1. Holy Family (5-2) | |
| 2. Eagle Ridge Academy (6-1) | |

| 4. Kent Denver (6-2) | |
| 5. Severance (5-2) | |
| 6. Pagosa Springs (7-1) | |

| Others: University, Aspen, Jefferson Academy, DSST-Green Valley, Weld Central, Fort Lupton, DSST-Montview, Lutheran, Coal Ridge Dropped out: None | Notes: This is my initial rankings for Class 4A. I am still digging into Class 4A and expect my rankings to change from this week to next week. |
Class 3A
| Last Week Result | |
| 1. Faith Christian (5-0) | 1 (2 weeks) |
| 2. Prospect Ridge Academy (6-1) | 2 |
| 3. Centauri (7-1) | 3 |

| 8. Yuma (2-1) | 8 |
| 9. Vanguard (4-0) | 9 |
| 10. Manual (1-1) | 10 |
| Others: Lake County, Rye, Cedaredge, Bayfield, Florence, Brush, Pinnacle Dropped out: None | Notes: No movement in Class 3A from the end of 2022 to the beginning of 2023. Class 3A is still very interesting with most teams playing a mixed schedule of either 4A or 2A teams. I am hoping to start seeing a clear picture in Class 3A after this week. |
Class 2A
| Last Year’s Results | |
| 1. Limon (2-0) | 1 (3 weeks) |
| 2. Crowley County (7-0) | 2 |
| 3. Wray (2-3) | 3 |
| 4. Custer County (3-1) | 4 |
| 5. Evangelical Christian (5-0) | 5 |
| 6. Wiggins (4-2) | NR |
| 7. Merino (3-2) | 6 |
| 8. Simla (5-2) | 7 |
| 9. Byers (3-1) | 9 |
| 10. Holly (6-1) | 8 |
| Others: Sanford, Haxtun, Plateau Valley, Vail Christian, Hoehne, Monte Vista, Front Range Christian, Burlington, Golden View Classical Dropped out: Sanford (10) | Notes: We had some small changes in Class 2A with Wiggins moving into the top 10 after a great run at the NJC tournament. Sanford falls out of the top 10 due to Wiggins having that great run. Still a lot to figure out in Class 2A. |
Class 1A
| Last Year’s Results | |
| 1. McClave (4-2) | 1 (2 weeks) |
| 2. Denver Jewish Day (4-0) | 2 |
| 3. Belleview Christian (7-0) | 3 |
| 4. Granada (2-2) | 4 |
| 5. Genoa-Hugo (5-0) | 5 |
| 6. Flatirons Academy (6-1) | 7 |
| 7. Stratton (2-1) | 7 |
| 8. Briggsdale (3-0) | 8 |
| 9. Cheraw (5-1) | 9 |
| 10. Dove Creek (6-2) | 10 |
| Others: Fleming, Ouray, Wiley, Sierra Grande, Pikes Peak Christian, Deer Trail Dropped out: None | Notes: No movement from the end of 2022 to the start of 2023. Class 1A I believe will be a blast to watch which teams come out on top. Only a handful of teams with more than 5 games so expect changes as we move deeper into the year. |
