PRZ Dakotas Week 1 South Dakota Poll: 11A and 11B

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Next up, we move our PRZ Dakotas Week South Dakota to 11A and 11B, as our poll aligns a little different especially in 11B compared to other football media polls throughout the state. Learn who in our mind is the #1 overall team in 11B along with some others in the top 5 that catch our attnetion higher than others.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"style":{"typography":{"fontSize":"24px"}}} --> <p style="font-size:24px"><strong>11A</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Compared to other South Dakota media polls in 11A, we align right on with their rankings. I think spots 3-5 with West Central, Lennox, and Madison have room to flip-flop between those there throughout the season based on the next-level athletes they all have. No doubt that Sioux Falls Christian and Dell Rapids have the easiest paths to victory this week.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>#1 Sioux Falls Christian (1-0)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Last Week:</strong> Win against Lennox 38-20</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Next Up:</strong> Home vs. Custer (0-1)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>#2 Dell Rapids (1-0)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Last Week</strong>: Win against Madison 15-14</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Next Up</strong>: Away at Belle Fourche (0-1)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>#3 West Central (1-0)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Last Week</strong>: Win against Dakota Valley 37-0</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Next Up:</strong> Away at Milbank (1-0)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>#4 Lennox (0-1)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Last Week</strong>: Loss against #1 Sioux falls Christian 38-20</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Next Up</strong>: Away at Vermillion (0-1)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>#5 Madison (0-1)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Last Week: </strong>Loss against #2 Dell Rapids 15-14</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Next Up</strong>: Away at Tri-Valley (0-1)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>#6 Canton (1-0)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"style":{"typography":{"fontSize":"16px"}}} --> <p style="font-size:16px"><strong>Last Week:</strong> Win against Vermillion 21-7</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Next Up:</strong> Away at Dakota Valley (0-1)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>#7 Milbank (1-0)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Last Week</strong>: Win against Tri-Valley 27-15</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Next Up</strong>: Home vs. #3 West Central (1-0)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"style":{"typography":{"fontSize":"24px"}}} --> <p style="font-size:24px"><strong>11B</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Our PRZ Dakotas South Dakota 11B poll is a little different than other media polls throughout the state. Most have Elk Point-Jefferson at #1, but we feel 2025 state champion Rapid City St. Thomas More is still the team to beat in 11B until proven otherwise. Another one we have is a flip-flop of Deuel at #3, and Winner at #4, as I feel Deuel has played a more competitive schedule thus far and gets another rivalry game this week against Sioux Valley which should really define if they belong in the #3 or #4 spot.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>#1 Rapid City St. Thomas More (2-0)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Last Week:</strong> Win against Belle Fourche 51-8</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Next Up</strong>: Away at Hot Springs (0-2)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>#2 Elk Point Jefferson (1-0)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Last Week:</strong> Bye</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Next Up</strong>: Home vs. Parker-Marion (0-1)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>#3 Deuel (2-0)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Last Week</strong>: Win against McCook Central-Montrose 8-7</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Next Up:</strong> Home vs. Sioux Valley (1-1)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>#4 Winner (2-0)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Last Week: </strong>Win against Miller-Highmore-Harrold 60-6</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Next Up:</strong> Home vs. MVP (0-2)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>#5 Clark-Willow Lake (2-0)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Last Week</strong>: Win against Sioux Valley 30-28</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Next Up</strong>: Home vs. Aberdeen Roncalli (1-1)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>#6 Beresford (2-0)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Last Week:</strong> Win against Groton Area 28-7</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Next Up:</strong> Away at Flandreau (0-2)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>#7 Wagner (2-0)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Last Week</strong>: Win Against Hot Springs 28-3</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Next Up:</strong> Home vs. Miller-Highmore-Harrold (0-2)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
