There were a few losses here and there prior to the start of district playoff action, but for the most part, there was little movement from last week’s Trib HSSN girls basketball state rankings.

Most of the ranked teams are waiting out postseason byes earned through strong regular season performances.

The lone team to drop was St. Mary’s in Class 4A after falling to Elk County Catholic. The flying Dutch were replaced by WPIAL perennial power North Catholic.

The six top-ranked teams in each class remained the same with Upper Dublin in 6A, Oakland Catholic in 5A, Delone Catholic in 4A, Lancaster Catholic in 3A, Kennedy Catholic in 2A and Union in A still at No. 1.
