When Trib HSSN last ranked the top teams in Pennsylvania, most of the second-round games in the 2020 PIAA basketball playoffs had just been completed with the quarterfinals looming.

However, what was hoped to be a brief interruption to the state basketball playoffs never materialized. A delay of days turned into weeks and then months thanks to the pandemic known as covid-19.

And just when the delay seemed to be over, a new shutdown hit.

However, trying to stay optimistic, this is the first edition of the weekly state rankings.

Once play resumes, Trib HSSN will release new boys and girls state basketball rankings every Wednesday during the season.

Here is the 2020-2021 boys preseason Top 5 in each of the six classifications. Teams are listed with last year’s record and district.
