Washington falls and Harrisburg climbs in Class AA South Dakota volleyball media poll

Harrisburg continues a strong start to the season, climbing to Class AA's No. 2 in the South Dakota high school volleyball media poll. The young Tigers are 7-0 and replace last year's runner-ups Sioux Falls Washington, who fell all the way to five, as second in the rankings.
