Everything is getting interesting as we are over halfway through the regular season. Only one class has a unanimous top-ranked team this week.

Pierre continues to control Class 11AA after a 72-0 win over Spearfish last week. Pierre is the only team in the poll that received every first-place vote for its class. Brookings looks to be the closest team to Pierre this season, and the two teams will meet on October 11.

Class 11AAA is a bit of a jumble with the top five teams starting to separate themselves from the bottom five. We detailed out where each team in Class 11AAA stands here heading into the last four games of the season. Brandon Valley continues to top the polls for the week with Roosevelt not far behind. Lincoln and Harrisburg switched spots in this week's poll.

Two new teams entered the poll this week in 9-man football. Herried/Selby area is fifth in Class 9B, while Howard has jumped into the poll in 9A.
