Ralston Valley remains atop the hockey poll this week. (Dennis Pleuss)
Mountain Vista’s big week has made an impression on the hockey voters.
The Golden Eagles, coming off a 3-0-0 week which included a 4-3 overtime win over then-No. 6 Cherry Creek, moved up six places to No. 2 in this week’s CHSAANow.com ranking.
Ralston Valley continued to lead the poll, and received five of the six first-place votes. Monarch is third, Cherry Creek is fourth and Columbine rounds out the top-5.
These polls will serve as the rankings over the winter break, and through the first part of January. The next poll will not come out until Jan. 13.
Complete rankings are below.
