South Dakota Prep Media Volleyball Poll for October 1, 2019

For the first time in a long time, Sioux Falls Christian is not ranked number one in the Class A poll.

Sioux Falls Christian dropped a five-set match to Dakota Valley last week. Add in another loss to Sergeant Bluff-Luton of Iowa and the Chargers are positioned outside of the top spot for the first time this season. Dakota Valley jumped to #1 with the win last week over Sioux Falls Christian and wins over West Central, Milbank, Winner, and Tri-Valley.

Class AA and B remains fairly unchanged from last week. Aberdeen Central and Brandon Valley switched spots in Class AA. Faith has entered the poll in Class B for this week.
