There was little movement in the final Trib 10 power rankings of the season.

In baseball, two teams swept WPIAL and PIAA gold, and it is Indiana in 4A that remains on top, edging out 3A winner Riverside.

Shaler and Freedom finish No. 3 and 4 after winning WPIAL championships in their respective classifications but having to settle for state silver.

Eden Christian Academy earns a Top 5 spot despite not winning gold in either postseason tournament but ending up as the PIAA runner-up in Class A for the third time in five years.

In softball, it’s another accolade for Neshannock.

The Lancers celebrated a fourth straight district crown, a second straight state title and third in four years, a third perfect season in the last four years, a record 52 straight victories and a top ranking in the Trib 10 power rankings.

Union is also a WPIAL and PIAA champion as the Scotties finished second while PIAA 5A winner Penn-Trafford is third.

Rounding out the top 5 is WPIAL 6A champ Hempfield at No. 4 and WPIAL 2A runner-up and state semifinalist Chartiers-Houston at No. 5.

Here are the final power rankings for the 2025 season. Teams are listed with overall record and last week’s ranking. These weekly rankings have zero classification boundaries.
