Perhaps it is the calm before the October storm, or maybe the elite teams have settled in and it\u2019s business as usual for the top schools around the state.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
With St. Joseph\u2019s Prep enjoying an open week, the other 29 ranked teams were a combined 26-3 in Week 5.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
Here are the latest Trib HSSN rankings in each of the six classifications. Teams are listed with overall record, last week\u2019s ranking and district.<\/p>\n
