MileHigh Prep Report Girls Basketball Week 7 Rankings (Class 1A thru 4A) Presented by Points West Community Bank

The opening weekend of 2024 was an exciting one with some teams grabbing huge wins. Look for changes in all four classes this week. January is always an interesting month with teams looking for momentum heading into February and the District Tournament. Good Luck to all teams this week.

Sanford lost by 4 to Mancos and also fall out of the rankings. Dayspring Christian and Monte Vista both join the rankings for the first time this season.
