The Road to Hershey is nearing the halfway point with two rounds in the books and three rounds remaining.
Usually there are big changes at this point, but the best of the best in boys basketball across the state continue to take care of business and are now headed to the elite eight.
There were eight changes in the Trib HSSN boys basketball state rankings from last week, with two teams dropping out in 6A, 3A and 2A and one team falling out of the Top 5 in 4A and A.
That leaves Class 5A intact from last week.
Also remaining the same from a week ago are five of the six top ranked teams with the only change coming in 6A with Lower Merion getting eliminated and Roman Catholic moving back to No. 1.
The other top teams in each classification remained the same with Imhotep Charter in 5A, Neumann-Goretti in 4A, Loyalsock Township in 3A, Constitution in 2A and Imani Christian in A still at No. 1.
