1. Denver East (12-3) – The Angels have a nice little 3 game schedule this week. First, they take on an up and coming 8-6 Denver West at West,a team that has been competitive in every game this season tip time is set for 5:30 Tuesday. Then on Thursday at 5:30 East welcomes Lincoln and then finish the week with the always interesting game versus Montbello at the ThunderDome at 1:00 on Saturday.

2. Fossil Ridge ( 15-0) – The Sabercats face Monarch tomorrow night at 6:30 at Monarch. The Cyotes have a tough combo in Beauchamp and McIntyre, will they be enough to knock off the Sabercats.

3. Mountain Vista (14-1) – If Mountain Vista can beat Regis tomorrow night 1/28 it will solidify their Top 3 ranking.

4. Eaglecrest (12-3) – The Raptors sit atop of the Centennial league for now, with games versus No. 10 Overland and Grandview that could change.
