First place battles can be found all across the Colorado volleyball landscape on Tuesday night.  They draw the most attention in our Top 10 Volleyball schedule as winners keep at least a share of first place or in some cases will have the position to themselves
In Class 5A, #2 Cherokee Trail and #6 Cherry Creek are both unbeaten inside the Centennial so that winner gains the inside track to the conference crown.  Another battle of league unbeatens in 5A takes place outside the rankings as Rock Canyon goes to Highlands Ranch.  The winner will remain tied with #1 Chaparral atop the Continental if the Wolverines also win at Legend.
In Class 4A, Lewis Palmer and Discovery Canyon are again ranked 1-2 this week and both won league openers last week.  They face Air Academy and Cheyenne Mountain tonight and the Kadets and Indians were also winners in their first conference game.  #10 Pueblo West and Pueblo County are also both 4-0 and tied for the South Central league lead.  West has won 80 straight in conference action.
In in the smaller school ranks, #1 Yuma is coming off a tremendous win over #1 Kit Carson (1A) in five sets on Saturday but there is no rest for the Indians as they meet #7 Merino from Class 1A.  Neither team has lost a Lower Platte league game and the winner will keep a piece of first place with #3 Wiggins.
