With the preseason No. 1 losing earlier in the week, that left preseason No. 2 Broomfield as the presumptive No. 1.
Until ThunderRidge knocked off the Eagles on Saturday.
So when the dust settled on Monday morning, it was the Grizzlies (3-0) who assumed the No. 1 spot in CHSAANow.com's Class 5A girls basketball rankings. They got nine of the 17 first-place votes, and had 139 overall points.
Broomfield remained at No. 2 with three first-place votes and 129 points.
Regis Jesuit, which lost to Monarch last Tuesday, fell to No. 8. Monarch is No. 3 this week after going unranked in the preseason.
Also joining the 5A poll this week is No. 6 Ralston Valley.
Elsewhere, there are also new No. 1 teams in 3A (Pagosa Springs) and 1A (Idalia).
The rankings, voted upon by coaches and select media members, are the official polls of the Association. Polls are released each Monday.
Complete rankings are below.
