On the final Friday of the regular season, the combined record of the Trib 10 teams was 9-1.

The one loss came when West Allegheny stunned Montour in overtime to forge a tri-championship in the Class 4A Parkway Conference.

That loss did not cost the Spartans a spot in this week’s power rankings, but it did drop them significantly from No. 2 to No. 7.

Don’t expect a lot of changes next week either as four teams have earned first-round byes while Central Catholic and North Allegheny have the week off before the 6A playoffs begin Nov. 8.

After quick changes at No. 1 in recent weeks, undefeated Upper St. Clair remains at the top of the power rankings heading into the start of the district playoffs.
