Postseason basketball is in the air as the regular season concludes.

A sure sign is the elite teams across the state are cranking it up ahead of the upcoming district playoffs.

For the first time all year, there were no teams falling out, thus no new teams cracking the Trib HSSN state Top 5 girls basketball rankings.

No, it was not a perfect week, but those teams that did taste defeat were able to hang on to their coveted spots.

There were also no changes at the top of each class as Plymouth-Whitemarsh in 6A, Cardinal O’Hara in 5A, Villa Maria Academy in 4A, Fairview in 3A, Southern Columbia in 2A and Union in A were able to hold on to their No. 1 spots.
