11AAA and 11AA South Dakota PRZ Poll

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Now that we are into Week 5 in the Dakotas, we re-evaluated our team rankings forr South Dakota 11AAA and 11AA. We will look at the key matchups to watch for which in 11AA, there are a couple that standout as some of the best games in South Dakota this week. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"style":{"typography":{"fontSize":"24px"}}} --> <p style="font-size:24px"><strong>11AAA</strong>:</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>11AAA Breakdown</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Since Week 1, we have a new #1 ranked team in 11AAA which is Sioux Falls Jefferson, who knocked off previous #1 ranked Brandon Valley in Week 4. These two I feel are my early pick to play for the 11AAA championship at the Dakota Dome in November, but at least the top three games are pretty wide open in my eyes. Harrisburg has been right against those two, but has the toughest upcoming three game steretch against Sioux Falls Washington (1-3), #2 ranked Brandon Valley (3-1) and continuing the battle of Sioux Falls vs. Omaha North (4-0) who is a top 5/6 team in Nebraska Class A so a lot can change in those three weeks for the Tigers. Both Sioux Falls Lincoln (2-2) and Sioux Fall's O'Gorrrman will see the meat of their schedules in their last two games of the season which is what I like about our top 5, as it feels that each one of those teams is either facing the meat of their schedule now and in the coming weeks or at the end of the season, so the full scope will be revealed in the top 5 with many games to watch between now and the rest of the season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>#1 <a href="https://prepredzone.com/team/sd/sioux-falls-jefferson/" data-type="link" data-id="https://prepredzone.com/team/sd/sioux-falls-jefferson/">Sioux Falls Jefferson </a>(4-0)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Last Game</strong>: Win over previous #1 ranked Brandon Valley 20-14</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Next Up</strong>: Away at Rapid City Central (0-4)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>#2 <a href="https://prepredzone.com/team/sd/brandon-valley/" data-type="link" data-id="https://prepredzone.com/team/sd/brandon-valley/">Brandon Valley </a>(3-1)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Last Game</strong>: Loss against new #1 ranked Sioux Falls Jefferson 20-14</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Next Up:</strong> Sioux Falls Washington (1-3) at Howard Wood</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>#3 <a href="https://prepredzone.com/team/sd/harrisburg/" data-type="link" data-id="https://prepredzone.com/team/sd/harrisburg/">Harrisburg</a> (3-1)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Last Game:</strong> Win at Rapid City Stevens 69-0</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Next Up: </strong>Home vs. #6 Sioux Falls Roosevelt (2-2)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>#4 Sioux Falls O'Gorman (2-2)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Last Game:</strong> Win vs. #6 Sioux Falls Roosevelt (2-2) 34-6</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Next Up</strong>: Home vs. Rapid City Stevens (0-4)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>#5 Sioux Falls Lincoln (2-2)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Last Game</strong>: Home win vs. Rapid City Central 58-14</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Next Up:</strong> Home vs. Omaha Central (NE) (2-2)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>#6 Sioux Falls Roosevelt (2-2)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Last Game:</strong> Home loss vs. Sioux Falls O'Gorman 34-6</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Next Up:</strong> Away at #3 Harrisburg (3-1)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>#7 Sioux Falls Washington (1-3)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"style":{"typography":{"fontSize":"16px"}}} --> <p style="font-size:16px"><strong>Last Game:</strong> Away loss at Millard North (NE) (3-1) 49-18 </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Next Up.</strong> Home vs #2 Brandon Valley (3-1)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"style":{"typography":{"fontSize":"24px"}}} --> <p style="font-size:24px"><strong>11AA</strong>:</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>11AA Breakdown</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Friday night will answer a lot of questions of who is the best team in 11AA, as our #2 ranked Tea Area (4-0) will make the 225 mile trip to #1 ranked Pierre T.F. Riggs (4-0) who has been the alpha of 11AA for years now and isn't slowing down with how well-rounded they are averaging 40+ points on offense and just over 10 points per game defensively thru the first four weeks. This game will surely be one of our best games in the Dakotas this week, and will be featured as our South Dakota Game of the Week. Another game to watch in 11AA which will determine the #3 spot this week is between current #3 ranked Yankton (3-1) and #4 ranked Watertown (2-2) which the Arrows intriguing offense makes the 180 mile trip down to Yankton for a battle for the #3 spot. I sit higher than other Soiuth Dakota football polls when it comes to Spearfish (3-1) who I have at #5 this week in front of Huron unlike most polls.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>#1 <a href="https://prepredzone.com/team/sd/pierre-t-f-riggs/" data-type="link" data-id="https://prepredzone.com/team/sd/pierre-t-f-riggs/">Pierre T.F.
