There were no changes among the No. 1 teams in this week’s South Dakota Power 5 Poll, which was released Monday. However, there was some slight shuffling in each of the top-five rankings.

Sioux Falls Lincoln and Sioux Falls Roosevelt remain at Nos. 1 and 2, respectively in the Class AA boys rankings, and Harrisburg and Spearfish each jumped one spot to Nos. 3 and 4, respectively. Meanwhile, Huron falls two spots to No. 5 in this week’s poll.

In the boys’ Class A rankings, No. 1 West Central, No. 2 Sioux Falls Christian and No. 3 Clark/Willow Lake remain unchanged from last week, while Maĥpíya Lúta vaults up to No. 4, switching spots with No. 5 St. Thomas More.

Viborg-Hurley remains the team to beat in the Class B boys rankings, followed by No. 2 De Smet, No. 3 Castlewood and No. 4 Sully Buttes, all of whom saw no movement in this week’s poll. Wessington Springs replaces Aberdeen Christian for the No. 5 spot in the rankings.

The most shuffling on the girls’ side was in the Class B girls rankings. While No. 1 Lyman and No. 2 Parkston stay put at the top of the poll, Bennett County jumps Centerville for the No. 4 spot, and Ethan replaces Harding County at No. 5.

In Class AA girls, Brandon Valley and O’Gorman went unchanged at Nos. 1 and 2, respectively, while Aberdeen Central vaults ahead of Sioux Falls Washington for the No. 3 spot in the rankings. Rapid City Stevens remains at No. 5.

There was no change among the top four teams in the girls’ Class A rankings, with No. 1 Maĥpíya Lúta, No. 2 Lennox, No. 3 Hamlin and No. 4 Sioux Valley going unchanged. Meanwhile, Wagner replaces Sioux Falls Christian for the No. 5 spot in this week’s poll.
