We are about a week away from the 2023 PIAA girls basketball playoffs.

Most of the teams ranked in the weekly Trib HSSN girls basketball state rankings have one or two games left in their quest for district gold, which ends for most this weekend.

Four ranked teams from last week lost and are now prepping early for the state postseason. Lebanon (6A), Forest Hills (3A), Serra Catholic (2A) and Linville Hill Christian (A) all lost in their district playoffs and dropped out of the Top 5.

They have been replaced by Perkiomen Valley in 6A, Chestnut Ridge in 3A, Shenango in 2A and Mount Calvary Christian in A.

There were once again no changes at the top of the rankings with Cedar Cliff in 6A, Hollidaysburg in 5A, Lansdale Catholic in 4A, Westmont-Hilltop in 3A, Redbank Valley in 2A and Williamsburg in A all still No. 1.
