While there are two more Trib HSSN state rankings to come this basketball season, the five teams in each classification have been finalized.

The order may or may not change heading into the state finals and then following the PIAA title games, but the final five are set in each class.

There was not a lot of movement following the quarterfinals with only five teams falling out of the state top 5.

Another thing that hardly changed from last week was the top-ranked teams in each class.

Only Jeannette in Class 2A dropped from No. 1 to No. 5 and was replaced on top by Linville Hill Christian Academy.

The other five top-ranked teams heading into the state semifinals remain the same with Imhotep Charter in 6A, Neumann-Goretti in 5A, Devon Prep in 4A, South Allegheny in 3A and Neighborhood Academy in Class A.
