As the district continues to dig out from all that snow, boys and girls basketball teams try to avoid the deep freeze and keep playing red hot hoops.

On the boys side, nearly half the teams did taste defeat this past week, but they only slid down as no teams dropped from the Trib 10.

There were no changes to the top 5 in the girls basketball power rankings, but Baldwin fell out and North Catholic moved back in thanks in part to a win over Norwin, which dropped the Knights four spots.
