South Dakota Prep Media Football Poll for September 7, 2021

All of those ties in last week's high school football poll are gone after another week of games. Here's the latest update heading into this week's games.

Class 11AAA continues to be highlighted by the Harrisburg Tigers and Brandon Valley Lynx. Harrisburg took care of O'Gorman 44-24 in the "Tiger Bowl," while Brandon Valley pulled away from Jefferson in the second half to a 33-21 win in the "Pigskin Classic." O'Gorman remains ranked in the top-five, while Lincoln has jumped into the rankings after a 2-0 start. Roosevelt, now 0-2 with a loss to RC Stevens, has fallen out of the top-five.

The Tea Area Titans are continuing to show that changing classes won't be an issue for the growing district. Tea dominated Sturgis 52-0 to move to 2-0 on the year. Other notables from 11AA include Aberdeen Central starting 2-0 and Pierre moving to 1-1 after defeating Mitchell 35-20.

In the 9-man ranks, Class 9B continues to have the most questions. Gayville-Volin has taken the top spot in this week's rankings after starting 2-0. Former #1 Sully Buttes have fallen down to 5th after 9AA's Lyman rocked them 44-6.
