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).
In a 2018 rematch of last year's first-round game that also pitted two of Class 4A's top-10 teams, Monarch wasn't able to rid itself of the nagging feeling Rampart continues to cause them.
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).
