The South Dakota High School basketball regular seasons are rapidly inching towards a conclusion, and one area team made quite the jump in this week's South Dakota media poll.
The Sioux Falls Lincoln Patriots are atop the most recent SD Media High School basketball poll, as both they and Mitchell passed Brandon Valley this week.
Following a week in which they stayed undefeated, and then-number one Sioux Falls Christian lost their first game of the season, the Mahpiya Luta Girls Basketball team has taken over the top spot in the latest Girls Basketball poll.
The South Dakota State Jackrabbit Women are in the midst of another stellar season both in and out of conference but still fell short of a ranking in this week's AP Top 25.
The UConn Huskies have had an uncharacteristic season under Coach Dan Hurley. The two-time defending national champions are out of the AP Top 25 this week for the first time in two years.
