The Kansas Volleyball Association has released its latest set of rankings and six area teams continue to remain ranked in the Week 5 set of rankings as the season has a couple weeks left.

Two area teams continue to remain number in their respective classes and they faced off against each other earlier this week vying for the top spot in the Twin Valley League. The B&B Falcons for the second time took down the Centralia Panthers this season moving the Falcons to 27-2 on the season and in the process remaining unbeaten in league play at 10-0 to lead the league standings, helping the Falcons remain #1 in Class 1A-Division II. Falcons also recently captured another regular season tournament title winning the Valley Falls Invite.

The Centralia Panthers while they recently fell to B&B are 23-5 on the season and 10-1 in the TVL and remained number one in Class 1A-Division I rankings. Centralia is also fresh off another second place performance at a regular season tournament taking second at the Silver Lake Invite. The Panthers five losses on the season are to teams ranked in other classifications: B&B (twice), Silver Lake (#1 team in Class 3A), Wabaunsee (twice -- #7 team in Class 3A).

Class 2A continues to houses a pair of area teams in the rankings as the Jefferson County North Chargers and Washington County Tigers remained ranked second and third this week, respectively. For the Chargers they are 24-5 on the season and continue to dominate the Northeast Kansas league as they are 12-0 in league action, beating Maur Hill-Mount Academy and Pleasant Ridge recently.

For the Washington County Tigers they are 17-4 on the season and 9-2 in the TVL with their losses coming at the hands of the #1 1A teams in B&B and Centralia in league play and other losses coming to Southeast of Saline, the second ranked 3A team and a tough Marysville team.

Class 4A-Division II continued to house a pair of teams also just like 2A as Big Seven league teams in Santa Fe Trail and Jeff West both remained ranked but fell one spot each in the rankings. For the Chargers of Santa Fe Trail they are 25-4 on the season and continued to dominate in the Big Seven league sweeping Hiawatha recently to remain unbeaten league at 14-0; Chargers moved down to number two in the rankings.

The Jeff West Tigers moved down to number nine this week from number eight, as they recently took a pair of league wins home over Royal Valley to improve to 20-11 on the season and 10-3 in Big Seven league action.

With sub-state action two weeks away from this Saturday teams still have regular season tournaments or league tournaments remaining alongside multiple league matchups left to go this season.
