Wednesday is normally a quiet night for Top 10 basketball teams but that’s not the case this week as 14 games involving ranked teams are on the schedule.  And two of them pit a ranked team against another.  Those two are both important league matchups as #6 Manual tangles with #8 Jefferson Academy in the Class 3A Metro and #2 Smoky Hill battles #6 Grandview inside the 5A Centennial.
In Class 4A, top ranked Lewis Palmer plays host to a Vista Ridge team coming off an upset of #5 Cheyenne Mountain and #2 Longmont is challenged by in-city rival Longmont.  In Class 3A, #2 Coal Ridge looks for a tenth straight win to open the season as they begin play in the Western Slope at home against Basalt.  The one game in Class 1A is important to post-season bracketing as #1 Cornerstone Christian takes on Longmont Christian.  Cornerstone is unbeaten while Longmont Christian continues an important stretch where they’ve split games with 2A league rivals Heritage Christian (W) and Dawson (L).
The entire schedule is available below.  Final scores can be sent to Colorado Preps by text to 970.380.7737.
