Girls Basketball LebCo Power Rankings

The rankings remained unchanged this week, but a big week ahead could shift things with Lebanon facing Cedar Crest and ELCO hosting Northern Lebanon. Keep in mind that the competition is fierce, as five of the seven teams would make Districts if the playoffs started today. The two remaining teams are also not out of contention.
