The song remains the same for the most part in this week’s Trib HSSN boys basketball state rankings.

There are two more weeks before most teams in District 12 begin their brief regular season. Thus the nine teams in the latest rankings remain unchanged.

Those teams that are playing in the other district around Pa. are off to good starts, so there is little movement in this week’s Top 5.

The two exceptions are in Class 3A, where top-ranked Lancaster Catholic dropped three spots after falling to Berks Catholic, opening the door for Loyalsock Township to take over as the new No. 1 team.

The only other significant change was in Class A, where a pair of losses dropped Farrell and Chester Charter out and allowing for Mont Calvary Christian School and Philadelphia-Montgomery Christian Academy to debut.

Here is the latest Top 5 in each of the six classifications. Teams are listed with record, district and last week’s ranking.
