South Dakota Prep Media Basketball Poll February 1, 2021

The calendar has flipped to February and that means high school basketball in South Dakota is nearly the completion of the regular season. This week's poll features a change in almost every class.

All but one of the classes for basketball in South Dakota featured at least some form of change to the top-five rankings. The biggest change came in Class A Boys where Vermillion has jumped to the top of the standings with a perfect 12-0 record. Right behind them is the surging Sioux Falls Christian Chargers. The Chargers have won four straight games including a win over former #1 Dakota Valley.

Class AA Girls is the only class that didn't see a change in the top-five this week. Aberdeen Central continues to be the favorite in the class with an undefeated 12-0 record.

Sioux Falls Washington (10-0) remains the favorite in Class AA Boys after another week that featured wins over Lincoln and Brandon Valley.
