Wolsey-Wessington, on the strength of a win over Wessington Springs last week, is now receiving votes in Class B boys in this week’s Prep Media basketball poll.

The Warbirds, gained a measure of revenge on Wessington Springs, which knocked the Spartans out of the top five this week. As a result, Leola-Frederick bumped up from fifth to fourth in the latest poll.

Castlewood continues to be rated second in Class B.

Hamlin remained second and Clark-Willow Lake fifth in Class A boys, while the Hamlin girls slipped one spot to fifth in Class A girls. Mobridge-Pollock is in the receiving votes category.

Meanwhile, Mahpiya Luta has taken over the top in Class A girls, with previous number one Sioux Falls Christian falling to second.
