For the first time in the 2019-20 WPIAL basketball season, the Trib Live High School Sports Network presents the boys and girls weekly power rankings.

Each Thursday during the high school basketball season, we will rank the top 10 for each gender. These rankings have zero classification boundaries.

As a reminder, the WPIAL boys basketball champions from last season were Mt. Lebanon, Mars, New Castle, Lincoln Park, Our Lady of the Sacred Heart and Nazareth Prep.

The girls district champs from a year ago were Peters Township, Chartiers Valley, North Catholic, Neshannock, Our Lady of the Sacred Heart and Rochester.
