Not a ton of movement, however SF Lincoln did lose but remain #1. Their loss was to the #2 ranked team in 4A in Minnesota, Hopkins HS. Harrisburg and Rapid City Central remain unbeaten. SF O’Gorman drops to 5 after the loss to Class A #3 SF Christian. Biggest noticeable change is that Aberdeen Central (preseason #1) is no longer in the top ten after back to back home losses to Rapid City Central and Rapid City Stevens. SF Roosevelt and SF Washington jump back in as Watertown falls out of the poll.
