The final pre-holiday Trib HSSN weekly boys basketball state rankings are here with few changes from the original top five.

A pair of District 2 teams were bounced and are the only teams to drop out of the original rankings.

They are replaced by WPIAL teams Penn Hills in 5A and Quaker Valley in 4A.

The top-ranked teams of Kennedy Catholic, Archbishop Wood, Archbishop Carroll, Lincoln Park, Math, Civics and Sciences and Vincentian Academy remain on top of their classifications.
