<p>PHD is back to make more preseason predictions on who will make the prestigious South Dakota All-State Team in Class A. 9 of the guys on this list were All-State last season in Class A and 1 was All-State in Class B. After a great season in 2021-2022, we expect them to all be back on the All-State Team. That does not leave us with many spots open. If you didn't know this, Class A is absolutely LOADED with TALENT. There are many super talented players that did not make this list. With that being said, Look below to see who we think will make 1st Team, 2nd Team, and 3rd Team All-State!</p>
