Prep basketball media poll: Lakota Tech girls move into rankings | News

The Lakota Tech girls basketball team had been flirting around the top five in the prep basketball media polls this season, spending the last few weeks on the outside looking in.

But after dominating 46-point and 30-point wins over Hot Springs and Little Wound, respectively, last week, the Tatanka have moved into the Class A rankings and are now in a three-way tie with Flandreau and St. Thomas More.

Lakota Tech, currently riding a nine-game winning streak, increased in votes received from 11 to 18, equaling Flandreau and STM. It’ll host St. Francis and Todd County this week.

Elsewhere in the latest poll, released Monday, the White River girls squad made the jump from No. 4 to No. 3 after blowing past Colome 87-18 and Aberdeen Christian’s drop to No. 5 after falling to Herreid/Selby by 18 points.
