PRZ Dakotas Week 1 South Dakota Poll: 9AA, 9A, and 9B

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>We rolled out all three of our 9-man South Dakota PRZ Dakotas polls this morning as we put our own twist on each divisions team polls with a prospect twist to it compared to other SD Media polls. This allows us to formuate our own point of view across South Dakota in 9-man football. 9B really intrigues me on who will get to the Dakota Dome and 9AA and 9A have some storylines that will release with this week's game of highly ranked teams.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"style":{"typography":{"fontSize":"24px"}}} --> <p style="font-size:24px"><strong>9AA</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Looking at the other SD Media Polls in 9AA this week, we have a higher grade on Viborg-Hurley as they sit at #2 in our 9AA poll as we have them and #3 Bon Homme flip flopped. The other high grade we have against the grain of other polls is a flip-flop of Garretson at #5 and Platte-Geddes at #6 as the Blue Dragons seem to have more next-level talent to show off in our eyes.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong><a href="https://prepredzone.com/team/sd/parkston/" data-type="link" data-id="https://prepredzone.com/team/sd/parkston/">#1 Parkston (2-0)</a></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Last Week:</strong> Win against Platte Gedes 30-6</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Next Up:</strong> Home versus Bridgewater-Emery-Ethan (0-2)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>#2 Viborg-Hurley (2-0)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Last Week:</strong> Win against Hanson 30-28</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Next Up:</strong> Bye. next game is Sept 11th, ome versus Irene-Wakonda (1-1)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>#3 Bon Homme (2-0)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Last Week</strong>: Win against Gregory 55-6</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Next Up:</strong> Home versus Scotland-Menno (1-1)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>#4 Hamlin (1-1)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"style":{"typography":{"fontSize":"16px"}}} --> <p style="font-size:16px"><strong>Last Week:</strong> Win against Britton Hecla 34-22</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Next Up:</strong> Home versus Baltic (0-2)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>#5 Garretson (2-0)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Last Week: </strong>Win against Bridgewater-Emery-Ethan 36-12</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Next Up:</strong> Home versus Hanson (0-1)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>#6 Platte-Geddes (1-1)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Last Week</strong>: Loss against #1 Parkston 30-6</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Next Up:</strong> Away @ Sioux Falls Lutheran (1-1)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>#7 Estelline-Hendricks (2-0)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Last Week:</strong> Win against Sisseton 44-0</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Next Up: </strong>Away versus 9A #2 Castlewood (2-0)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>#8 Great Plains Lutheran (2-0)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Last Week:</strong> Win against Webster Area 34-0</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Next Up: </strong>Away @ Sisseton (1-1)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>#9 Britton-Hecla (1-1)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Last Week</strong>: Loss against #4 Hamlin 34-22</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Next Up:</strong> Away @ Webster Area (0-2)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"style":{"typography":{"fontSize":"24px"}}} --> <p style="font-size:24px"><strong>9A</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The top three we have in Freeman, Castlewood, and Howard align with the rest of the SD Media Polls in the state, but our #4 and #5 spots are flip flopped as we have Centerville at #4 and Lyman at #5.

Should be a game to watch closely this week at Doug Kraft Field in Timber Lake. There's also value in the #7 and #8 spot this week, as I had Iroquois-Lake Preston at #8 and Hitchcock-Tulare at #7 so that's another meaningrful inter 9B battle to watch this week.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>#7 Hitchcock-Tulare (2-0)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Last Week:</strong> Win against Northwestern 46-14</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Next Up</strong>: Away @ #8 Iroquis-Lake Preston (2-0)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>#8 Iroquois-Lake Preston (2-0)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Last Week</strong>: Win against Wilmot 66-54</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Next Up:</strong> Home versus #7 Hitchcock-Tulare (2-0)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>#9 Gettysburg (2-0)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Last Week:</strong> Win against Wolsey-Wessington 40-0</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Next Up:</strong> Home versus Kadoka Area (1-0)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p> </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
