There were a couple of teams that switched spots, but the all three top-rated teams held their positions in the final Prep Media volleyball polls of the season.

Harrisburg in Class AA, Sioux Falls Christian in Class A, and Warner in Class B all finished the year the same way they started it, as top-ranked squads in their respective classes.

Sioux Falls Washington moved up second while Sioux Falls Jefferson slipped to third in AA this week, while Madison inched up to fourth and Rapid City Christian fell to fifth in Class A this week.

Miller, Groton and Aberdeen Roncalli are in the receiving votes category in the final Class A poll.

Northwestern remained third in Class B, while Wolsey-Wessington is in the receiving votes position.

Class A and Class B teams begin postseason play this week. Their SoDak 16 matches are set for Tuesday, Nov. 7, while the Class AA SoDak 16 matches take place Thursday, Nov. 9. The state tournament is Nov.16-18 in Rapid City.
