Only two teams fell out of the state rankings, but after holding steady for several weeks, there are changes at the top of two classifications.

Lincoln Park saw its 83-game section win streak snapped by Aliquippa, bumping the Leopards from the top spot in Class 3A, where Loyalsock Township takes over.

After losing by 12 to Martin Luther King, defending PIAA Class 2A champion Constitution fell behind the team it beat in the state finals a year ago, Our Lady of the Sacred Heart.

Pottsville in Class 5A and Sewickley Academy in Class 2A fell out of the Trib HSSN state rankings, opening the door for West Chester East and Farrell to move in.

Sewickley Academy’s fall dropped the WPIAL representation from five to four. Joining Lincoln Park and OLSH are Mars at No. 2 and Moon at No. 3 in Class 5A behind Mastery Charter North.
