Girls basketball rankings: Pueblo South jumps into 4A poll at No. 6

The South Central League already had plenty of representation in the Class 4A CHSAANow.com girls basketball rankings. But Pueblo South was apparently feeling left out.

The Colts stormed their way into the 4A poll, landing at No. 6. They were unranked a week ago. They join league foes Pueblo West and Pueblo East, who have been fixtures in the poll all season.

Sand Creek still has a strong grip on the No. 1 spot in the class as they received 11 of 14 votes this weeks.

The top spot in 5A continues to be held by Highlands Ranch as the Falcons show no desire to relinquish their hold as the regular season nears its end.

Pine Creek remains in the top 10 despite a down-to-the-wire loss to Rampart on Friday.

No new teams were able to play their way into the 5A poll.

Manitou Springs couldn't overtake Pagosa Springs for the top spot in the 3A poll, despite an impressive blowout win over No. 4 St. Mary's last week.

After falling out of the rankings last week, La Junta rejoins the ranks at No. 10.

Yuma is still the unanimous No. 1 team in 2A, a welcome sight as they inch closer to the start of the playoffs.

Swink was able to give the 2A poll a fresh face as the Lions come in at No. 10.

Kit Carson hangs on to the No. 1 spot that they took over last week in 1A. While the order was somewhat different, the 10 teams in last week's 1A poll remain the same.

The rankings, voted upon by coaches and select media members, are the official polls of the Association. During the regular season, they are released each Monday.
