The district playoffs are in the rear view mirror, and state gold becomes the goal.

There were plenty of changes in the final week of the district playoffs as eight ranked teams from a week ago lost in the semifinals or championships, then missed out on this week’s Trib HSSN girls basketball state rankings.

All of the top teams from last week went on to win their district and remain at No. 1 heading into the state playoffs. They include Central Dauphin (6A), Chartiers Valley (5A), North Catholic (4A), Delone Catholic (3A), Linden Hall in 2A and Jenkintown (A).
