Chaska starts volleyball season ranked No. 1

Thanks in part to a young lineup and a set of very tough Section 2-3A teams, Chaska did not complete a 'three-peat' of state volleyball titles last season.

But the Hawks are a year older, and, based on the first coaches' association poll, are the team to beat.

The Hawks are the No. 1-ranked team in the pre-season Class 3A poll, receiving five of the seven first-place votes.

Fellow 2-3A team and defending state champion Shakopee is No. 2. Other 2-3A squads in the poll include Waconia at No. 7 and Eden Prairie, which received votes.
