The rough waters that have existed for top teams in the PIAA calmed a bit this past week as the regular season is winding down and the district playoffs are straight ahead.
While five teams did fall out of the weekly Top 5, the song remained the same for the PIAA top-ranked teams in each of the six classifications.
Still at No. 1 this week is LaSalle College in 6A, Upper Moreland in 5A, Northern Lebanon in 4A, Mt. Carmel in 3A, Faith Christian in 2A and Southern Fulton in A.
DuBois, Central Mountain, Montoursville, Montgomery and DuBois Central Catholic all fell out of the rankings this week.
A fresh five joining the Top 5 are Chichester and Pine-Richland in 5A, Athens in 4A, Saegertown in 2A and Clarion in Class A.
