Things are pretty set at the top, but the Class 4A girls basketball poll added two new teams this week — including Centaurus, which is ranked for the first time this season.
Broomfield led the 4A coaches poll for the ninth-consecutive ranking, and Pueblo South and Mesa Ridge continued to round up the top three this week. But Canon City returned to the poll following a two-week absence at No. 9, and Centaurus also joined at No. 10.
There wasn’t much movement in the 5A poll, which continued to be led by Regis Jesuit. Grandview and Highlands Ranch swapped places in the top three, and Arapahoe jumped up two spots to No. 4. Palmer remained at fifth.
Complete rankings for all classes are below.
