Miller won its eighth consecutive Big Dakota Conference Tournament this past weekend, while Warner at 14-1 has more victories than any team in Class B, and tied for the most in the state with top-rated Class A Dell Rapids.

Hamlin, whose only loss of the season came at the hands of Dell Rapids last weekend, is just outside the top five in Class A. Hitchcock-Tulare, 13-0 on the season, is rated fourth in Class B. Northwestern is receiving votes.
