Coming up with this week’s 10 teams was easy because they are the only teams still playing from the WPIAL.

However, ranking them in the weekly Trib 10 power poll was not easy.

Seven teams have been part of the power rankings for at least two weeks now and some have been in the Trib 10 all season.

Following this week, at least four and as many as six District 7 teams will be left standing heading into the PIAA semifinals with dreams of state gold and leftover turkey dancing in their heads.
