There was little change again in the Trib HSSN weekly girls basketball state rankings through district first round and quarterfinals action last week.

However, that will likely change this week with the semifinals and championship games around the commonwealth, including some head-to-head showdowns.

In Class 6A, four of the top five teams go head-to-head mid-week as Norwin faces North Allegheny on Tuesday in a WPIAL semifinals game, with the winner possibly playing Peters Township in the district title game. Spring-Ford takes on Garnet Valley Wednesday in a District 1 semifinals contest.

In Class 2A, No. 2 will face No. 3 in the district semifinals as Penns Manor battles Bellwood-Antis on Monday.

The only team to exit the state rankings this week is a team that was ousted from the WPIAL Class A playoffs this past week as Greensburg Central Catholic was knocked out in the district quarterfinals.

The Centurions are replaced by Bishop Carroll as the Huskies head to the District 6 semifinals.

Here is the PIAA Top 5 in each of the six classifications for the week of Feb. 25.
