Mountain Vista makes big jump in hockey ranking
Mountain Vista’s big week has made an impression on the hockey voters.
The Golden Eagles, coming off a 3-0-0 week which included a 4-3 overtime win over then-No. 6 Cherry Creek, moved up six places to No. 2 in this week’s CHSAANow.com ranking.
Ralston Valley continued to lead the poll, and received five of the six first-place votes. Monarch is third, Cherry Creek is fourth and Columbine rounds out the top-5.
These polls will serve as the rankings over the winter break, and through the first part of January. The next poll will not come out until Jan. 13.
