Whether you are a fan of a local district team or you like to know what’s going on in girls’ high school basketball around Pennsylvania, the TribLive High School Sports Network has you covered this winter.

We rank the top WPIAL teams in each class every Sunday and follow with PIAA state rankings every Monday during the high school basketball season.

One WPIAL team dropped out of this week’s rankings, leaving six District 7 teams among the top 30. One WPIAL team climbed to the top spot in their classification.

While East Allegheny was bounced from the Class 3A rankings after losing to Carlynton, North Allegheny leapfrogged Upper Dublin to take the No. 1 spot in Class 6A.
