Some of the 12 district tournaments across the state are already completed while others are winding down. Only the district champions can be a part of this year’s PIAA postseason.

So the district playoffs this year are truly one and done.

As we inch closer to the Road to Hershey, only four teams lost their grip on a top 5 spot in this week’s Trib HSSN girls basketball state rankings, and two of them were in Class 2A.

The state rankings said so long to Gettysburg (5A), Gwynedd-Mercy Academy (4A) and the tandem of former No. 1 Linden Hall and South Williamsport (2A).

Entering the state rankings this week are Warren (5A), Eastern York (4A) and the duo of Winchester Thurston and Southern Columbia (2A).

The top-ranked teams all remained the same this week as North Allegheny (6A), Trinity (5), North Catholic (3A), Serra Catholic (2A) and Rochester (A) continue to be the best in their respective classifications.
