Volleyball rankings: Lewis-Palmer new No. 1 in 4A
Lewis-Palmer is back as the No. 1 team in the Class 4A CHSAANow.com volleyball rankings.
After suffering a five-set loss to Rock Canyon, Cheyenne Mountain fell out of the top spot for the first time since winning the 2015 4A state championship.
It was just one move in what is a very different looking top 10 from a week ago.
Holy Family jumped two spots to No. 3 while Berthoud jumped three spots to No. 6.
Three new teams cracked the top 10 as Montrose came in at No. 7, Thomas Jefferson  lands at No. 9 and Valor Christian rounds out the rankings at No. 10.
There was also a lot of movement in the 3A rankings, which also saw three new teams break in. Eaton held on to the top spot, but Resurrection Christian made the jump to No. 2.
Sterling (No. 5), Pagosa Springs (No. 7) and Delta (No. 10) are the three new teams in 3A.
After rattling off two wins last week, Chatfield is still the No. 1 team in the 5A rankings.
Rock Canyon and Highlands Ranch each jumped two spots to land at No. 2 and No. 3 respectively.
Fossil Ridge (No. 8) and Cherokee Trail (No. 9) are the two new teams in the 5A rankings.
Paonia remains the top team in the 2A rankings.
The biggest 2A jump of the week belonged to Dayspring Christian who jumped from No. 5 to No. 3.
There were no new teams in the 2A poll.
Fleming is the new No. 1 team in the 1A poll, taking five of eight first-place votes.
Prairie made a sizable jump from a week ago, coming in at No. 5 which is four spots better than its previous ranking.
Flagler (No. 6) and Kiowa (No. 10) are the two new teams in this week’s 1A poll.
