While the citizens of this great state have had plenty of issues to deal with in recent days, the storm and bone chilling temps have not phased the elite boys basketball teams across the commonwealth from their mission of stacking victories.

There may have been a lot of sliding this week, but zero teams slid out of the Trib HSSN weekly state rankings.

Four teams did taste defeat, but it only dropped them a spot or two and kept them in the Top 5 in their classifications.

For a second straight week, there were no changes at top in any of the six classifications with Imhotep Institute Charter in Class 6A, Neumann-Goretti in 5A, Cathedral Prep in 4A, Mohawk in 3A, Delone Catholic in 2A and Sankofa Freedom Academy in A still enjoying the view from their perch at No. 1.
