<p><strong>SOUTH DAKOTA--</strong> We move our Preseason All-State focus into 9B in South Dakota. With the season starting this week, we thought there would be no better time to release this team. What did we learn from evaluating this group of over 40+ prospects? Do not sleep on 9B just because they are the smallest division of South Dakota high school football, as there is PLENTY of hidden gems that would resonate at the next level.</p>

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>How did we put this list together?</strong> We watched tons of tape from all of these prospects, but the key component is each prospect had to have the film available from last season or was recommended by one of our scouts, high school coaches, etc. As we always say, the tape doesn't lie, and having it out there is a huge benefit to any prospect's recruiting if they want to play at the next level as you are always being evaluated. Our style for our Preseason Teams is much different than other networks; as we look at your tape from eyes, having watched 1000s of highlight tapes over the years and have seen plenty of great skillsets put out there across the Dakotas. We very seldomly look at the stats from a season ago. Without further a do, the South Dakota 2022 9B All-State Preseason Team!</p>
