After a few quiet weeks in a row, there were plenty of changes in this week’s Trib HSSN girls basketball state rankings.

Six teams lost and fell from the fab five, including former No. 1 Central Dauphin in 6A, Mohawk and Taylor Riverside in 3A, Keystone and Windber in 2A and Northumberland Christian School in A.

Their exits opened the door for debuts for Spring-Ford, Mercyhurst Prep, Forest Hills, South Williamsport, Columbia and Harrisburg Christian School.

There was one change at the top as Rochester replaced Bishop Guilfoyle in Class A, giving the WPIAL five top-ranked teams with North Allegheny (6A), Trinity (5), North Catholic (3A), Serra Catholic (2A) and the Rams.

Both North Allegheny and Archbishop Wood (4A) tasted defeat last week for the first time this season, but both held on to their top spot in the state.
