All of the leaders maintained their positions in this week’s media football polls.

There were no changes among the top two teams in all seven divisions and only limited movement outside of that.

Herreid-Selby Area continues to lead Class 9B with Hitchcock-Tulare second. Sully Buttes is fifth.

Warner continues to be rated second in Class 9A behind Gregory. Hamlin maintained its third spot in Class 9AA. Howard leads that class.

Aberdeen Roncalli continues to receive votes, just outside the top five in Class 11B, where Winner holds down the top spot.

Other top-rated teams are Sioux Falls Jefferson in Class 11AAA, Pierre in 11AA, and West Central in 11A.
