WPIAL championship game results forced a shuffling of the deck in the first post-district playoff edition of the Trib 10.

Belle Vernon had been No. 1 on the boys side, but a semifinals loss dropped them out of the power rankings.

Trinity has been on top of the girls since defeating North Allegheny in February, but they fell as well after losing to Chartiers Valley in the WPIAL 5A title game.

So heading into the champions-only PIAA playoffs, OLSH boys and North Allegheny girls sit atop the Trib HSSN power rankings with all of the other District 7 basketball champs right behind them.

Here are the latest rankings. Teams are listed with overall record and last week’s ranking.
