There was little movement in the Trib 10 girls rankings from last week, but the deck was shuffled a bit on the boys side.

The top five remain unchanged in the girls power rankings with South Fayette still on top.

Lincoln Park, North Catholic and Aliquippa boys falling this past week led to changes in the Trib 10 with the reigning Class 5A champs moving into the top four.

All of the boys continue to look up to undefeated New Castle at No. 1.

Aliquippa boys and Canon-McMillan girls lost their spot in the Trib 10 for now, while the Knoch boys and Thomas Jefferson girls are the latest additions to the power rankings.

Here is the latest edition of the Trib 10 basketball power rankings. Teams are listed with overall record and last week’s ranking.
