Baseball rankings: 4A rankings shaken up from top to bottom
For the fourth consecutive week, the top team in the Class 4A CHSAANow.com baseball rankings has failed to hold on to its spot.
Mountain View is the new No. 1 team in the poll, and is the third different team in 4A to be ranked No. 1 this season.
They dropped a heartbreaker to Northridge on Wednesday before taking two games from Greeley Central in three days.
Fresh off taking control of the South Central League last Wednesday, the Pueblo West Cyclones climb to No. 2 and appear poised to make a run at state championship.
Valor Christian made a sizable jump this week, landing at No. 4, five spots up from its ranking a week ago.
Longmont breaks into the top-10 at No. 6, one spot higher than Windsor who is also new to the poll.
Pine Creek remains the top team in 5A and have still only lost once on the year. Grandview and ThunderRidge trade places at No. 2 and No. 3.
Fort Collins (No. 6) and Regis Jesuit (No. 7) each climb three spots from last week’s rankings.
Legacy and Dakota Ridge are the two new teams in 5A, coming in at No. 8 and No. 10 respectively.
Eaton remains the unanimous No. 1 team in 3A and have yet to yield their ranking at any time this season.
University made the climb from No. 5 to No. 2 after an impressive week where they went 5-0, including two wins over league rival Brush.
St. Mary’s jumped to No. 5 thanks in part of splitting a double-header with No. 3 Lamar on Friday.
Sheridan is the lone newcomer to 3A, landing at No. 9.
Paonia took six of 10 first-place votes to remain the No. 1 team in 2A. Swink made the biggest jump in the class, coming in three spots better than last week. The Lions land at No. 4 this week.
There were no new teams in the 2A poll this week.
There was no change at the top of the 1A poll as Granada remains the No. 1 team. The top five teams from last week held on to their position.
Genoa-Hugo is the only new team in the 1A poll, coming in at No. 8 this week.
