Perhaps it is the calm before the October storm, or maybe the elite teams have settled in and it’s business as usual for the top schools around the state.

Time will tell, but for a second straight week, there was very little movement in the Trib HSSN state rankings at the midway point of the season.

With St. Joseph’s Prep enjoying an open week, the other 29 ranked teams were a combined 26-3 in Week 5.

Two teams that lost remained in the Top 5 as Farrell dropped from No. 2 to No. 3 in Class 2A after a loss to Ursuline (Ohio), and Washington dropped two spots to No. 4 after losing to No. 3 Clairton.

The only team to fall out of the Trib HSSN Top 5 was South Fayette in 4A. The Lions were bumped for undefeated North Pocono.

There were no changes again at No. 1 with Central Catholic in 6A, Pine-Richland in 5A, Shamokin in 4A, Northwestern Lehigh in 3A, Southern Columbia in 2A and Bishop Guilfoyle Academy all still on top of their classifications.

The only head-to-head clash of ranked teams in Week 6 comes out of District 4 when Class 3A No. 4 Mt. Carmel hosts 2A top-ranked Southern Columbia.

Here are the latest Trib HSSN rankings in each of the six classifications. Teams are listed with overall record, last week’s ranking and district.
