4A Rankings, September 30

Palmer Ridge and Mountain View retain their perches atop the 4A rankings, but...

...Niwot has been busy creeping up on folks this season. Both the Niwot boys and Niwot girls collected first-place votes as the coaches start to be convinced that the Cougars are for real.

Nobody asked me to chime in with editorial opinion here, but I'm going to tell you now that the Palmer Ridge girls are the most underrated team in 4A right now. That finish at Dave Sanders was no fluke.
