There were only three changes with teams dropping out of the weekly Trib HSSN state rankings as the safety net has been taken away.
We’re at a point with the district playoffs either starting or about to begin where losses not only drop teams from the Top 5, they also could end a season.
Hazleton and Downingtown West dropped from the 6A rankings while Freeport fell out in Class 3A.
They have been replaced by Coatesville, Williamsport and Bermudian Springs.
While they weren’t a lot of changes in the Top 5, there were at the top of the rankings.
Palmyra took over for Upper Moreland in Class 5A and Avonworth flip-flopped with Mt. Carmel for No. 1 in 3A.
The other top-ranked teams remain unchanged with LaSalle College in 6A, Northern Lebanon in 4A, Faith Christian in 2A and Southern Fulton in A still holding on to No. 1.
