This is a brief look at where each of the LebCo teams rank in the Power Rankings. There may sometimes be a lag in some of the Power Rankings, but this will give you an idea where each local Basketball stands as the regular season gets close to the ned.
With the conclusion of Districts in Boys Wrestling, we’d like to congratulate the ELCO Raiders and Northern Lebanon Vikings on their 3rd place finishes within their respective classifications. ELCO will begin their PIAA State Championship journey on Tuesday night.
Below the rankings for each team is an ordered list of the rankings of each LebCo team in Girls Basketball and Boys Basketball. That ranking is based on the District 3 Power Rank rating assigned to each team.
