There were several changes in the three largest classifications this week in the Trib HSSN state rankings, but the three small school classes were unchanged.
Two perennial state powers and champions from 2023 were ousted in Week 10 with state title reigns for Aliquippa in Class 4A and Southern Columbia in 2A coming to an end with season-ending losses in their district semifinals.
Another team at the top of the rankings for the last month in Class 6A was also ousted, as LaSalle College tasted defeat for the first and only time this fall with a District 12 semifinals loss to defending champion St. Joseph’s Prep.
Speaking of the Hawks, they have another showdown this week as they battle 2023 Class 5A champion and the current No. 2 team in Class 6A, Imhotep Charter, in the District 12 championship game on Saturday.
Two ranked teams collide in Class 5A when newly minted top-ranked Upper St. Clair battles No. 5 Peters Township in a District 7 semifinal.
USC took over for Chester, which lost in the District 1 playoffs, while St. Joe’s Prep replaces LaSalle College at No. 1 in Class 6A.
The other four classes remain the same on top with Lampeter-Strasburg in 4A, Northwestern Lehigh in 3A, Troy in 2A and Fort Cherry in Class A.

Where did people move to in 2025? Here’s what U-Haul says and how Pennsylvania ranks
Are Trump’s signature tariffs even legal?
Rising health care costs, limits on executive power and two ongoing conflicts are all substantive issues Trump faces in the new year as midterms near.
A new report from U-Haul shows where Pennsylvania residents are leaving to and where new residents are coming from in 2025. Here’s what to know about U-Haul’s top 10 states with the most and least growth numbers.
Eight warm weather states made U-Haul’s top 10 growth list for 2025, while eight states in the colder Northeast and Midwest filled out the bottom 10, including Pennsylvania and neighboring New York, New Jersey, and Ohio. Delaware ranked 21 out of 50 states in growth for 2025.
U-Haul also noted besides geography, that seven of the 10 states with the most growth featured Republican governors, nine of which went red in the last presidential election, and 9 out of 10 in the bottom growth states featured Democrat governors, seven of which went blue in the last presidential election.
“We continue to find that life circumstances — marriage, children, a death in the family, college, jobs and other events — dictate the need for most moves,” said John “J.T.” Taylor, U-Haul International president in press release. Adding, “But other factors can be important to people who are looking to change their surroundings. In-migration states are often appealing to those customers.”
U-Haul ranks states growth based on their one-way customer transactions that rented trucks, trailers or moving containers in one state and dropped it off in another state. Their growth index included over 2.5 million annual one-way transactions across the United States and Canada.
Texas holds the number one U-Haul growth state for the seventh time in the last 10 years while California ranked last for the sixth year in a how.
Pennsylvania’s growth rank for 2025 remained at a low 46 out of 50 states, same as 2024, and compared relatively similar to its growth numbers over the last 10 years, according to U-Haul’s data, with the exception during 2022-2023 when its highest growth numbers hit 24 out of 50 in 2022 and 38 out of 50 in 2023.
Oregon, Mississippi, Colorado, Nevada, New Mexico, Louisiana and Montana were among the biggest year-over-year gainers in 2025 compared to U-Haul’s 2024 rankings, while Ohio, Virginia, Indiana, Iowa, Delaware and Nebraska saw the biggest drops.
While the national average rent in the U.S. sits at approximately $1,623 per month (0.4% higher than this time last year) the Keystone State boasts a lower rent average at approximately $1,526 per month (1.9% higher than last year), according to Apartments.com. It is ranked 34th least expensive rent by state.
Here’s what to know about Pennsylvania and what states saw the most and least growth in 2025 according to U-Haul.
