A change in the calendar brings the return of the Trib HSSN girls basketball state rankings.

Before moving ahead to the first rankings of the season, here is a look back at the teams that captured state gold in 2025.

Six districts had one team each win a state basketball title last winter.

Districts 1, 4, 5, 6, 7 and 12 were in the victory circle in Chocolate Town back in March.

The only repeat performance was from Bishop Guilfoyle in Class A as the Marauders captured their second straight and ninth state championship overall.

Neumann-Goretti won its sixth PIAA championship in Class 4A, all six coming in the last 10 seasons.

After the boys team lost in the PIAA finals the last two years, the Berlin-Brothersvalley girls team won in Class 2A for its second golden trophy with the first coming six years ago.

South Fayette won the school’s first state crown, denying Archbishop Wood in Class 5A a record fifth consecutive state championship.

The other two winners were also first-time PIAA champions with Perkiomen Valley in Class 6A and Loyalsock Township in 3A combining to win 58 games last season.

Here is the first Top 5 in each of the six classifications for 2025-2026. Teams are listed with overall record, district and last year’s final ranking.
