A historic shuffling of the deck in the Trib HSSN state baseball rankings as the district playoffs conclude and the state playoffs begin.

Never before have the HSSN state rankings done an all-out line change with five new teams in one class turning over.

In Class 4A, the five ranked teams from last week all lost in the district finals or semifinals and five freshly minted district champions have replaced them.

We also have three new top seeds in Cathedral Prep in the new-look 4A, Martinsburg Central in 3A and Taylor Riverside in 2A.

Remaining at No. 1 heading into the two week PIAA postseason are Hazleton (6A), Franklin Regional (5) and Delco Christian (A).
