A few classes were flipped upside down in this week’s volleyball rankings, while others stayed the exact same as the previous Kansas Volleyball Association’s rankings.

Wichita Northwest remained steady at No. 5 in 6A, as well as the four teams above it. Washburn Rural remains as the top-ranked team in 6A. Valley Center moved up from No. 4 to No. 3 this week and Kapaun moved from No. 5 to Valley Center’s old spot of No. 4. St. James Academy stayed at the No. 1 spot.

McPherson improved to 33-4 this week as it stayed atop the 4A ranks. The Lady Blue Comets of Chanute moved from No. 3 to No. 2. Chanute bumped Topeka Hayden down to No. 3 and Rose Hill became the fifth-ranked team in 4A.

Hillsboro has lost just two matches on the year as it retains the top spot in 3A. The biggest movements happened in 1A Div. 1, where previous No. 4 Centralia became the top-ranked team in the class, and Olpe, the previous top team moved into the No. 4 spot.
