Last week, there were zero changes to the Trib HSSN boys basketball state rankings after the first round of the PIAA playoffs.

A week later, following two more rounds, nine teams have dropped.

While five of the six top-ranked teams from last week remain alive for state gold and still sit atop their classification heading into the semifinals — Loyalsock Township in 3A is the lone exception — other spots were not as successful.

Four of the teams ranked No. 2 last week are no longer ranked.

Nine teams not ranked in last week’s Top 5 have advanced to Round 4 on the Road to Hershey.

Here is the PIAA Top 5 in each of the six classifications for the week of March 17.
