Mt. Lebanon Teams In National Spotlight

The Mt. Lebanon boys' and girls' basketball squads were easy picks as No. 1-ranked teams in their respective WPIAL divisions. Both were highly successful last year and both return almost all of their top players. But the Blue Devils' boys and girls aren't content to see how they do in district play this season. Both teams are playing schedules with a national flavor.

The girls' team will play in two tournaments this month against some of the best competition in the country. Mt. Lebanon will play in the Nike Tournament of Champions Dec. 18-22 in Phoenix. The Blue Devils girls also will play in the T-Mobile Invitational Dec. 29-30 in Birmingham, Ala.
