Following a week with a lot of movement, there was little change in this week’s Section618.com Deep South Volleyball Coaches’ Poll.

Nashville remains number one after receiving 10 of the 12 first place votes. Fairfield picked up the other two first place votes and remains second. Centralia remains third, a spot ahead of Carterville.
Pinckneyville returns to the top five, switching spots with NCOE. Only four voting points separate the Lady Lions, the Lady Panthers, and the Fighting Cardinals for spots 4-6.

Du Quoin, Woodlawn, and Massac County remain 7-9 with Hamilton County rejoining the poll at number 10, with Murphysboro, Carmi-White County, and Benton also receiving votes.
