Volleyball polls
One new, but BSC still has three rated teams
The Big South Conference continues to have three teams rated in the latest polls by the Minnesota Volleyball Coaches Association, but one of the teams has changed.
Belle Plaine jumped from fourth to first in Class 2A after three wins over ranked teams including second-ranked Chatfield. Redwood Valley dropped out of the ratings.
In Class 3A, Marshall moved up one spot to second and St. Peter is new to the poll at No. 10. Delano is again first.
Four teams from Section 3A are rated in Class 1A, with Russell-Tyler-Ruthton going from fifth to first after the Knights posted three wins over ranked teams. Minneota is fifth, Canby sixth, and MACCRAY seventh.
Champlin Park and Lakeville North changed places atop Class 4A.
