The rest of the Class AAA list remains the same with North Allegheny in the top spot, followed by Bethel Park, Shaler, Latrobe, Hempfield, Seneca Valley, Norwin and Penn-Trafford.
There is no change to the top 10 in Class AA as Derry holds on to No. 1 for the fourth week in a row.

The remainder of the top 10 has Obama Academy at No. 6, followed by Bishop Canevin, North Catholic, Thomas Jefferson and Deer Lakes.
Section matches in both classifications conclude May 9.
