Brush took down former No. 1 Platte Valley on Friday. Monday, the Beetdiggers took its spot atop CHSAANow.com's Class 2A football poll.
Brush, which won the game 28-10, was ranked second last week. It received all 10 first-place votes in the poll. Platte Valley dropped to third, behind Kent Denver.
The 2A poll added Faith Christian (No. 8) and Aspen (No. 10) this week.
In 5A, ThunderRide continued to lead the way and received 13 first-place votes to No. 2 Valor Christian's 11. Columbine remained in third, and Ralston Valley stayed at No. 4.
Chatfield moved up from seventh to fifth, and is followed by No. 6 Cherokee Trail and No. 7 Fairview. Grandview is eighth, Regis Jesuit is ninth, and Cherry Creek rejoined the ranking at No. 10.
Monarch stayed atop 4A's ranking, but there's a new No. 2 team in that poll: Montrose, which moved up from third. It's excellent timing, considering the two teams play Friday.
Falcon is third this week, followed by Loveland, Wheat Ridge and Montbello, which beat former No. 2 Denver South on Saturday. South dropped to No. 8.
Montbello and Wheat Ridge play Friday.
Pine Creek was the lone new team to the 4A poll.
The 3A ranking added No. 9 Delta and No. 10 Evergreen. Silver Creek remained at No. 1.
In 1A, Meeker (No. 10) was the lone newcomer.
There were no new teams to the 8-man poll, but 6-man added Briggsdale (No. 4).
