One local squad has entered the IndianaPrepVolleyball.com state media poll, while five others made repeat appearances.
Central came in at No. 10 in Class 4A, the first time it has been ranked this season. The Bearcats (5-3) went 2-2 over the weekend at the Avon Invitational.
Yorktown (10-0) maintained its top spot in 3A after knocking off Wapahani (6-2), which slipped into a first-place tie with Barr-Reeve in 2A. Wes-Del (9-1) and Delta (8-3) rounded out the local cadre, coming in third in 2A and 3A respectively. The Golden Bears are 6-4 with wins against Burris and Cowan.
Just outside the top 10, Jay County got one vote in 4A and Burris got four in 2A. The Patriots are 8-1 with only a loss to Delta and a four-set win last Thursday against banged-up Wapahani.
This week includes notable matchups between 4A No. 2 Hamilton Southeastern and Yorktown, Delta and Burris and Wapahani and Burris.
