The Kansas Volleyball Association released their newest batch of Top 10 class rankings on Wednesday night, and ten teams from the 580 Preps coverage area are ranked, with one team new to the rankings this season.

Jackson Heights, thanks to a 27-3 record, is now ranked ninth in class 2A, their first time ranked. They replaced Oskaloosa in the 2A poll, as the Lady Bears are the only local team to have dropped out of last week’s rankings.

The capital city’s teams made some gains in the polls this week. Washburn Rural is back up a spot to second in class 6A and Seaman moved up a place to seventh in class 5A. Shawnee Heights and Hayden held on to their spots – sixth in 5A and second in 4A, respectively.
