Local Teams Shine in Early Basketball Rankings
The state's activities association has just released its preseason rankings, and local teams are already making some noise.
Boys' Basketball
- Sanford: Sitting pretty at number two in Class 2A
- Centauri: Holding down the seventh spot in Class 3A
- Sierra Grande: Making waves at number eight in Class 1A
These rankings show that the San Luis Valley has some serious talent this season.
Girls' Basketball
- Alamosa: Tied for sixth in Class 4A
- Centauri: Right up there at number two in Class 3A
- Sanford: Making a strong showing at number two in Class 2A
- Sargent: Not far behind at sixth in Class 2A
Even teams that didn't make the top ten, like Monte Vista, Center, and Del Norte, are getting some love with votes in their respective classes.
The Season Ahead
These rankings set the stage for the season ahead, but remember, they're just a starting point. The real action begins the first week of December, and that's when we'll see if these teams can back up their rankings on the court.
Community Spirit
It's always exciting to see local teams get recognition. But more than that, it's a reminder that high school sports bring communities together. Whether you're a student, a parent, or just a fan, there's something special about rallying behind your local team.
