It's Dayspring Christian's week to shine in the Class 2A CHSAANow.com volleyball rankings.
Powered by sweeps over Gilpin County and Dawson, the Eagles are the new No. 1 team in the rankings. They are the only new No. 1 team in any class this week.
Paonia, who sat at No. 1 a week ago, dropped only one spot to No. 2.
Yuma made a noticeable jumping, gaining three spots to land at No. 3. There were no new teams in the 2A poll this week.
Rock Canyon held its spot as the top team in 5A, but it was Arapahoe, not Fossil Ridge, coming in at No. 2. The Sabercats dropped one spot to land at No. 3.
Loveland was the lone newcomer in 5A, joining the rankings at No. 10.
Lewis-Palmer and Cheyenne Mountain remained at No. 1 and No. 2 respectively in this week's 4A poll.
The two traditional volleyball powers will face-off Thursday in a game that will in all likelihood decide the Pikes Peak Athletic Conference Championship.
Montrose jumped into the 4A poll at No. 9, the only newcomer this week.
Like 5A and 4A, the top team in the 3A poll went unchanged as Eaton holds a firm grip on that spot.
Valley made the big jump this week to land at No. 3, two spots better than last week's rankings.
Pagosa Springs (No. 9) and Coal Ridge (No. 10) were the two newcomers to the 3A poll.
Fleming hung on to the No. 1 spot in 1A with Kit Carson still biting its heels at No. 2.
Weldon Valley (No. 4) and Nucla (No. 5) each gained a spot from a week ago.
There were no new teams in the 1A poll.
The rankings, voted upon by coaches and select media members, are the official polls of the Association. Polls are released each Monday.
