Fast thoughts....
6A: Looks like a power outage out west with the good teams in lower classifications or in the East.
5A: Top 4 looks awesome!
4A: Jersey #1 beat who ???? unless you count the Heckle-Jeckle team from Allentown CC.
3A: Neumann Goretti needs to be higher, above Central-Martinsburg maybe more?
2A: York Catholic at 10 after getting trounced by West Catholic? Come on fellas, at least look at the box scores.
1A: Too bad Canton and Old Forge face off next as they are probably the best two in the classification.

Only eight teams in each of Pennsylvania’s six classifications remain in the hunt for a state championship. That means the three-day festival known as the PIAA finals at Hersheypark Stadium is now merely three weeks away.
PennLive’s updated state rankings are sponsored by Renewal by Andersen of Central Pa. Teams are listed with district, record through Nov. 21 and previous rankings. NR-not ranked.
