Hamlin, which handed Clark-Willow Lake its only loss of the season last week, moved it way to the top of the receiving votes category in Class A in the final Prep Media volleyball polls of the season.
The Chargers were just one vote short of being in the top five this week. Clark-Willow Lake remained in the fourth spot, while Groton and Miller are also in the receiving votes category.
In Class B, Northwestern remained second, Warner third, and Hitchcock-Tulare fourth. Wolsey-Wessington is in the receiving votes category.
