The final state basketball rankings for the regular season are in, and no WPIAL boys team will enter the postseason with a No. 1 ranking.
The cityofbasketballlove.com released its rankings today and two WPIAL teams are ranked as high as No. 2 - Quaker Valley in Class 4A and Sewickley Academy in Class 2A. Lincoln Park (Class 3A) and Our Lady of the Sacred Heart (2A) also are ranked No. 2. The WPIAL has at least one team ranked in the top in every classification but 6A. However, Allderdice, a City League team, is no. 9 in Class 6A.
Here are the rankings, compiled by Mike Bullock and cityofbasketballlove.com. There will not be rankings again until the end of the season.
