South Dakota Media Volleyball Poll September 28, 2020

All 15 schools that were ranked in last week's poll remained ranked in this week's, but there were a few changes in Class A.

Following a busy week of volleyball that included a gigantic tournament at the Sanford Pentagon, five teams from each class have separated themselves from the rest. The Class AA and B rankings for this week remain unchanged outside of a few votes shifting places, but in Class A it's Rapid City Christian jumping into third with a 14-0 overall record. Rapid City Christian and Madison both jumped ahead of Winner in Class A.

The highlighted match from the weekend was a battle between #1 in AA and #1 in B at the Sanford Pentagon. O'Gorman defeated Northwestern in two tightly contested sets 25-23 and 25-19. Tournament play (outside of state tournament) is modified to play best-of-three instead of the traditional best-of-five.
