Lebo: Mt. Lebanon 23, Baldwin 13

It was wet, wet, wet in the Mt. Lebanon Stadium last night, but enthusiasm was high even though attendance was down. The team looked good, the band sounded great . . . all in all, it was a great start to the season and a reminder of how much fun the tribal pageant that we call high school football really is.

I don't know the players . . . who is No. 40? He spent most of the first half getting his left knee evaluated on the sideline. The evaluation suggested a serious injury, but he was running (on the sideline) before the end of the half. I hope he's OK and able to play.
