They will do so with some changes in the latest edition of the Trib HSSN state top 5 girls basketball rankings.

Four teams — North Allegheny, Trinity, Mount Carmel and Faith Christian — lost their grip on one of the prized five spots, but each will try to earn their return in the postseason.

The newest members of the state rankings include Cedar Cliff in 6A, South Fayette in 5A, West Middlesex in 2A and Christian School of York in A.
