A pair of top-ranked teams and five schools lost their spot in the Top 5 across the state as the second half of the regular season began last week.

We have a new No. 1 team in both Class 3A and 2A in the latest Trib HSSN boys basketball state rankings.

North Penn-Mansfield is the new top team in 3A, replacing Penn Cambria, while Eden Christian Academy takes over the top spot in 2A after Constitution lost to No. 3 Bishop Canevin.

Besides those two changes at the top, the other No. 1 teams from a week ago remain on top. Roman Catholic in 6A, Imhotep Institute Charter in 5A, Neumann-Goretti in 4A and Linville Hill Christian in A all continue to sit at No. 1 in their classifications.

Five new teams join the Top 5 including Spring-Ford, Hampton, Columbia, Executive Education Academy and Portage while we say so long for now to Cumberland Valley, Laurel Highlands, Penn Cambria, Our Lady of the Sacred Heart and Northumberland Christian School.
