South Dakota Prep Media Football Poll for Week of August 30, 2021

We're hoping that by the time this poll comes out next week that the Dakota Bowl game between Roosevelt and O'Gorman has concluded.

Dakota Bowl has been postponed twice due to weather. The Knights lead the Rough Riders 7-6 with the second half left to be played. They will take the field again on Tuesday (August 31) afternoon at 4:00 PM to play out the rest.

Tea Area made an impressive debut in Class 11AA last week as they marched to a 47-21 win over Brookings. The Titans are now tied with Yankton for the top-ranked spot in Class 11AA.
