The schedule hasn't been overly challenging for the Basalt softball team early on this fall, so getting to face one of the stronger teams in the state came with a bit of uncertainty.
Five new teams have hopped into this week's volleyball rankings: Longmont (4A), Coal Ridge (3A), Union Colony (2A), Akron (2A) and Flagler/Hi-Plains (1A).
Eight newcomers joined this week's football rankings. They are: ThunderRidge (5A), Ponderosa (4A), Harrison (3A), Salida and Berthoud (2A), Buena Vista (1A), Mancos (8-man), and Cotopaxi (6-man).
