Watertown entered last week as the top team in Class AA boys but suffered a loss to Sioux Falls Washington. Is it enough to move the Arrows out of the top spot?

Class AA boys continues to balance out and become a little more difficult to judge. Watertown has now lost two games this year against Pierre and Washington. The team with the best record, Huron, sits at 10-2 with both losses to Watertown. Pierre, O'Gorman, Aberdeen Central, and Washington continue to sit just shy of the top three spots.
