Top 10 teams

1 Mountain View: If only all the picks were this easy. The Mountain Lions are for real.

2 Longmont: The Trojans lost only three seniors from their state tournament team.

3 Cheyenne Mountain: The Indians still have enough talent to be a 4A power.

4 Battle Mountain: The Huskies have the state's best-kept secret in Devon Abbott.

5 Skyline: The Falcons qualified for state last year and setter Mollie Jones returns.

6 Cherokee Trail: The Cougars went unbeaten in the Skyline League last season.

7 Pueblo West: A strong middle keeps the Cyclones as the dominant team down south.

8 Greeley West: The Spartans have a new coach but still are stout.

9 Berthoud: After several down years, these Spartans are garnering a lot of favorable talk.

10 Sterling: The Tigers were hit by graduation but still should be solid.

Consensus league picks: Cheyenne Mountain (Colorado Springs Metro), Denver Prep (Denver South), Ralston Valley (Jeffco), Mountain View (Northern), Cherokee Trail (Skyline), Pueblo West (South Central), Battle Mountain (Western Slope).
