Rock Canyon has returned to CHSAANow.com's Class 5A boys basketball rankings. The Jaguars are No. 8 in this week's poll.
They were last ranked just prior to the break, but fell out last week. Rock Canyon's return means the Continental has five ranked teams for the fourth straight poll.
Elsewhere in 5A, Regis Jesuit remained a unanimous No. 1 selection with all 16 first-place votes. In fact, teams Nos. 1-4 stayed put, including No. 2 ThunderRidge, No. 3 Dakota Ridge and No. 4 Eaglecrest.
Overland returned to 5A's top-5, while Chaparral dropped one place to No. 6.
Mountain Vista is No. 7, Denver East is No. 9 and Montbell is No. 10.
The four other No. 1 teams also remained the same: Longmont (4A), Colorado Springs Christian (3A), Sanford (2A) and Sangre de Cristo (1A).
In 4A, Pueblo West (No. 8) and Sierra (No. 9) joined this week. The lone newcomer in 3A this week was Manitou Springs (No. 10), while 2A added Caliche (also No. 10).
The rankings, voted upon by coaches and select media members, are the official polls of the Association. Polls are released each Monday.
