Boys lacrosse rankings: Rock Canyon, Columbine join 5A poll
The top teams remained on top in this week’s CHSAANow.com boys lacrosse rankings.
Despite a loss to out-of-state Torrey Pines last week, Cherry Creek remains the top team in the Class 5A poll. The top five teams from last week all held on to their positions.
The big jump of the week was Palmer landing at No. 7, up three spots from a week ago.
Rock Canyon and Columbine each played their way into the 5A rankings with the Jaguars coming in at No. 8 and the Rebels rounding out the poll at No. 10.
The Dawson School has proven in the last week that they are the undisputed No. 1 team in 4A after beating No. 3 Cheyenne Mountain on Apr. 2 and easily handling No. 2 Windsor on Friday.
Like the 5A poll, the top five teams in the 4A rankings all held on to their positions from last week.
The only newcomer in 4A this week was Valor Christian at No. 10.
