Three of the four boys soccer classifications have new top-ranked teams in this week's polls, with Air Academy (4A), Kent Denver (3A) and Telluride (2A) taking over at the top.
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).
A total of ten teams jumped into this week's football rankings. They are: Montrose and Monarch (4A); Fort Morgan (3A); Eaton and D'Evelyn (2A); Holyoke and Cornerstone Christian (1A); Rangely and Soroco (8-man); and Briggsdale (6-man).
A pair of quick scores gave Palisade's football team an early lead Thursday night. A key defensive play in the fourth quarter against Durango ensured the Bulldogs would keep that lead.
