LANCASTER-LEBANON BOY'S BASKETBALL COMPOSITE STANDINGS SINCE 1972-1973

The league started in 1972-1973, but two schools, Lancaster Catholic and Lebanon Catholic did not enter the league until the 1974-1975 season because they were in the old PCIAA at that time and were not allowed in the league. Several years later, Lancaster Mennonite, a school that just started playing basketball in 1971 joined the PIAA and applied to the league and was accepted and began play in the league in 1980-1981. We used all three schools record since the 72-73 season despite them not being in the league, so everyone would have the same number of season's for the standings.
