Pittsburgh City’s Allderdice keeps rolling along and remains No. 1 in this week’s PennLive Class 4A state basketball rankings after a lopsided win over Obama Academy and Saturday’s 69-52 win over St. Pius X (Ga.).
Coatesville picked up a pair of wins and moved up to No. 3 and replaces Plymouth-Whitemarsh, which suffered its first loss last Tuesday against Upper Merion. In addition, once-beaten Abington Heights out of District 2 enters the top 10, while Archbishop Wood drops out.
