South Dakota Prep Media Basketball Poll 2-12-18

There are no new top ranked teams in any of the classes this week, but team's like Tea Area have made a return to the top five.

Regular season schedules are getting close to being completed for all teams around South Dakota. Team's have only two to four games left on their season. It's the final push for the Round of 16 playoffs.

This week's poll features changes in almost every class. Every team that was ranked in the top spot last week remains in the same position this week. Every class, however, has a shakeup in the top five rankings.

Sioux Falls Lincoln and Washington remained ranked in Class AA boys. The Lincoln girls are getting closer to the top ranking as they moved to second, while O'Gorman stays at fifth for another week.

Tea Area is finally back into the top five in Class A boys following another great week. The Titans have won their last seven games in a row.
