North Dakota Preps

Any thoughts on the Top Ten teams in Class B (if they were to be ranked like MN does it)?

If people wanted to Private Message me their rankings I'd be willing to do a poll and post it on here like every two weeks...it would only work though if I had at least 8-10 people message me.

I've got two...need at least 6 more

I've got 4...only need at least 4 more (6 would be great though)!!

ANYONE ELSE want to send me their rankings for Class B volleyball. (please be serious about it though)

Tallied from those who sent me a message...if you would like to vote...my 2nd ranking will come out during the first week of October!

ND Class B Poll
1. Langdon (3) 48
2. Kenmare (2) 47

I think Thompson is underranked here. They are a solid team that won the Central Cass tournament two weeks ago and just took second to Langdon at the Grafton tournament this weekend.

If Thompson is underranked, so is Hillsboro. Hillsboro beat Thompson and is on top of District 2.

Agreed! I forgot about that score. Hillsboro is flying under the radar. I look at the weekend tournament scores quite a bit for my information and Hillsboro has not been involved with any tournaments that I am aware of.

I think this poll is actually pretty close. I did have Thompson as the 10th ranked team (would have been higher if not for the loss to Hillsboro). I don't think Harvey should be ranked right now. Several of the top 10 will be at the Des Lacs tourney next weekend - that will tell us a lot!

if more people would like to send me a message with what they think the rankings should be...please do so anytime from Sunday - Monday night (10/3 - 10/4) and I will tally a new ranking. I only got 5 rankings last week and it would be GREAT if I got more this week!

Also Central Valley seems like they are flying under the radar...3 wins in Pool play in Grafton; 1 close loss to Langdon and then they pushed Thompson to a close 15-13 3rd game in the quaterfinal match. I think the next poll will look very different from #5 - #10

I agree, Thompson is playing better then the first time they played Langdon, and Central Valley has been playing very good , as for Harvey we will find out if they can compete with Langdon, I believe they were invited to Des Lacs this year, and didn't Carrington just get beat by Wells County or did I hear that wrong.
All the teams in the poll, and the ones that did get votes, except Carrington will be in Des Lacs , so after that weekend the poll should be easy to do.

Thanks for compiling this. It's nice to see where teams are on a statewide basis.

Not a problem...I know MN does a ranking for each class...I most definitely think ND should have a poll for volleyball; they have one for GBB & BBB and Football.

I'm hoping for more voters this weekend so that I can have a more in-depth poll
