The first two teams have been bounced from Trib 10 power rankings after head-to-head showdown losses in Week 2.

For now, both Penn-Trafford and Aliquippa are on the outside looking up at the Trib 10 teams that include two newcomers.

The Warriors lost to then-No. 8 Belle Vernon last week while the Quips were edged by No. 4 Central Valley.

This opened the door for the Leopards to leap three spots and for a pair of Tigers to join the power rankings as undefeated Moon and McKeesport debut this week.
