St. Mary's has taken over the top spot of the Class 3A girls basketball rankings.
The Pirates notched a win on Friday night, taking down rival (and No. 10) Manitou Springs, impressing enough voters to move up from their previous spot at No. 2.
They take the spot from Sterling who falls to No. 2.
Only one new team broke into the 3A poll as Olathe comes in at No. 8.
In 5A, Grandview hangs on to the top spot while receiving the news that Michaela Onyenwere was named a McDonald's All-American.
Highlands Ranch jumps one spot to land at No. 2.

At No. 10, Rocky Mountain is the only newcomer to the 5A poll.
Pueblo South keeps the No. 1 spot in 4A with Evergreen also holding firm at No. 2.
Mesa Ridge made a three-spot jump to land at No. 4 this week.
Palisade (No. 9) and Windsor (No. 10) are the two new teams in the 4A rankings.
Paonia received 16 of 17 first-place votes to keep the top spot in the 2A rankings. At No. 6 and No. 8, respectively, Lyons and Swink each jumped two spots from a week ago.
There were no new teams in the 2A poll.
The same situation applies to the 1A poll as all 10 teams from a week ago remain in the top 10, with just a tweak here and there.
Kit Carson remains at No. 1, but Antonito takes the No. 2 spot from Fleming who falls one spot to No. 3.
South Baca (No. 6) and Kiowa (No. 7) also traded spots from last weeks rankings.
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.
