One week remains of the regular girls high school volleyball season as teams jockey for position in conference races and among regional foes. While there was no change at the top of all four divisions this week, some loaded regional and sectionals may need to consult some RPI or even the WVCA coaches poll in order to break ties for those seeding meetings this week.

Here are this week's results, released by the Wisconsin Volleyball Coaches' Association for Week 4 (October 11).

Division 1
Burlington continued its streak at No. 1 this season, despite suffering nine season losses on the year. In fact, only two teams in the top ten have fewer than 10 losses on the season, that being the Demons and Verona, who is still a perfect 32-0 on the season at No. 8. Verona is one of just three unbeatens left in the entire state this season--the other being the top ranked team in Division 3 and the No. 5 in Division 4. Otherwise, Division 1 was a relatively stable week as compared to the last poll after the results of the LaPorte Sprawl played heavy on those votes.

The big story from D2 this week is the descent of Racine St. Catherines, who despite having another exceptional record after going undefeated last season in D3, is thrown in with the big dogs in one of the deepest divisions this season. The Angels fell two spots to No. 8 this week and has a big showdown with Division 4 favorite Catholic Central this week to decide who takes the Midwest Classic South title.

Grantsburg and Oostburg remained the top two squads, while Wisconsin Heights held steady at No. 3.
