Fossil Ridge gave Fairview volleyball its first loss last week. This week, the SaberCats have joined CHSAANow.com's Class 5A rankings.
Fossil Ridge (13-5) beat Fairview 3-1 on Thursday. They enter the poll at No. 10.
Elsewhere in 5A, Rampart continued to lead the way, and Grandview moved up three places from No. 5 to No. 2 after a week which included a win over then-No. 2 Eaglecrest.
Lewis-Palmer extended its unanimous grip on the 4A poll. The Rangers won a top-2 showdown with Cheyenne Mountain last week.
Each of the other three No. 1 teams also held firm atop their respective rankings. Those are Eaton (3A), Resurrection Christian (2A) and Fleming (1A).
Volleyball's regular season is winding down. In fact, 1A and 2A are already in their districts. 3A-5A end their regular seasons on Saturday.
As such, these will serve as the final polls of the 2014 season. Regional seeding will post on CHSAANow.com next Monday.
The rankings, voted upon by coaches and select media members, are the official polls of the Association. Polls are released each Monday.
Complete rankings for all classes are below.
