Trib HSSN Pennsylvania Boys Basketball Rankings for Jan. 16, 2024 | Trib HSSN

By: Don Rebel

A bitter wind blew for two teams that last week had a spot in the Trib HSSN boys basketball rankings but this week are chilled to discover they are out.

West Chester Henderson dropped from No. 2 in Class 6A to completely out of the Top 5 following a loss, opening the door for another District 1 team to enter as Chester debuts at No. 4.

One Central gave way to another in Class 5A as Central Mountain dropped out and Manheim Central is back in to the PIAA rankings.

At the top, there were no changes among the No. 1-ranked teams as Roman Catholic in 6A, Imhotep Charter in 5A, Neumann-Goretti in 4A, Bishop Guilfoyle in 3A, Constitution in 2A and Imani Christian in A remain on top.
