Boys basketball rankings: Pueblo South takes over top spot in 4A
The Pueblo South Colts are putting together a nice season. They carry their momentum into this week as they take over the No. 1 spot in the Class 4A CHSAANow.com boys basketball rankings.
Their week was highlighted with a 79-51 win over Pueblo Central on Tuesday. The Colts looked absolutely dominant and are legitimate 4A title contenders.
Former No. 1 Longmont fell to No. 3 after losing to the FNE Warriors on Saturday.
The 4A poll saw two newcomers this week as Holy Family and Rifle come in at No. 8 and No. 10 respectively.
There were very few changes in the 5A poll. Rangeview proved to be the real deal after taking a hold of the No.1 ranking last week. They topped Regis Jesuit 60-52 to prove that they are indeed worthy of the state’s top spot.
The Raiders fell one spot to No. 4 as a result of the loss.
Rock Canyon climbed one spot to No. 7, trading spaces with Chatfield, who gave Denver East all the Angels could handle Monday.
There were no new teams added to the 5A rankings.
Colorado Springs Christian School hangs on to the top overall spot in the 3A rankings as they prepare for a big Tri-Peaks League showdown with St. Mary’s on Friday. The Pirates handed the Lions their only loss last season and the Lions will be out to even the score.
Faith Christian jumped three spots to No. 6 this week and the 3A poll saw one newcomer as the Manitou Springs Mustangs come in at No. 10.
Sanford is still the No. 1 team in 2A this week after cruising to a 63-35 win over Centauri. The top five seeds from last week all maintained their position.
The bottom five spots saw some shuffling, but overall the 10 ranked teams from last week remained in this week’s poll.
Fleming takes over the top spot in the 1A after defending champion Holly and Wiley handed South Baca its first two losses of the year.
Kit Carson jumps from No. 4 to No. 2 and Holly jumped from No. 6 to No. 3.
No new teams played their way into the 1A rankings this week.
