There was little movement in the Trib 10 power rankings after Week 3, but that could change after this weekend.

One week after debuting in the Trib 10, McKeesport lost and fell back out, replaced by an Aliquippa team that had been part of the power rankings, exited for a week, and is now back in.

Week 4 around the WPIAL is highlighted by a pair of head-to-head power rankings matchups.

No. 1 Thomas Jefferson visits No. 5 Belle Vernon in a Class 4A Big Eight Conference showdown while 6A powers clash when No. 3 Central Catholic visits No. 8 North Allegheny.
