A new year brings the return of the Trib HSSN boys basketball state rankings.

Before we move ahead, here is a reminder to the teams that captured state gold in 2025.

It was a golden state postseason for the Philadelphia Catholic League with Father Judge in Class 6A, Neumann-Goretti in 5A, Devon Prep in 4A and West Catholic in 3A all winning PIAA titles.

It was back-to-back state crowns for Devon Prep, the 10th state title for Neumann-Goretti, second in three years for West Catholic and first PIAA championship for Father Judge.

Two other first-time winners were Linville Hill Christian Academy in 2A and The Neighborhood Academy in A.
