It was nearly a perfect week for the teams ranked in the Week 11 edition of the Trib 10 power rankings.

Nine of the teams were victorious in their playoffs games with only No. 8 Hampton getting bounced from the chase for district gold and the HSSN power rankings.

There will be at least two teams falling this weekend with a pair of head-to-head contests set for Friday and Saturday.

On Semifinals Friday, No. 5 Moon will battle No. 10 Penn Hills in Class 5A. Then on Championship Saturday, top-ranked Mt. Lebanon squares off with No. 4 and two-time defending champion Central Catholic in the 6A title game.
