There were some changes in the Trib HSSN girls basketball state rankings from week in the two top classifications, but little movement in the bottom four classes.
Following a second loss this season to rival Downingtown East, Downingtown West fell from the top spot all the way out of the Top 5 in Class 6A. The Whippets’ spot was taken by the same Cougars team that swept the regular season series from them.
In 5A, Mount St. Joseph and Archbishop Wood dropped out of the Top 5, replaced by Dallas and Punxsutawney.
While no teams fell out of the state rankings this week in Class A up to 4A, there was a flip-flop as No. 1 in 3A as Shady Side Academy bumped Camp Hill Trinity.
The WPIAL now has three top-ranked teams with South Fayette in 5A, Blackhawk in 4A and Shady Side Academy in 3A.
The other three top-ranked teams are District 12 Archbishop Carroll in 6A, D-10 Kennedy Catholic in 2A and D-6 Bishop Guilfoyle Academy in A.
