Class 1A's North Central league features four teams ranked in this week's top-10. So Friday's matchup between No. 5 Wray and No. 6 Burlington was of a little extra importance.
The first match between Longmont and Niwot has been a strong indicator of what team would be the frontrunner to win the Northern League title in each of the past several seasons.
Niwot girls cross country achieved a unique feat in finishing in first place as a team as all five scoring runners occupied the race's top five positions.
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).
