After practicing just four times since late November, Mt. Lebanon coach Joe David could only wonder what his basketball team might look like this season.
There were out-of-sync plays in Friday’s opener and moments that felt sluggish, but the third quarter was vintage Blue Devils: 3-pointers, defense. It was all there.
Mt. Lebanon made seven 3-pointers in that quarter alone led by hot-shooting sophomore Mike Pfeuffer and tightened its press defense just after halftime to rally past host Baldwin, 58-51, in Section 2-6A. Pfeuffer scored his team-high 15 points entirely in the second half including three 3s in the third.

Just before the PIAA soccer finals, Gov. Tom Wolf and Pa. Secretary of Health Dr. Rachel Levine announced ramped-up guidelines that would make sports teams wear face coverings during competition.
The rules later were loosened, and athletes did not have to wear masks during play, only on the sidelines, if their district officials ruled that way.

Columbia joined Page’s official decision process in late September when she received an offer from the Lions.
Page hopes to help keep up the success at Chartiers Valley. In her first two varsity seasons, the Colts didn’t lose a game and went a combined 57-0 with back-to-back WPIAL championships.
Chartiers Valley, the top-ranked Class 5A team in the WPIAL and the state, is 1-0 this season with a 59-48 nonsection victory over Baldwin on Dec. 11, one day before the shutdown of high school sports in Pennsylvania ordered by Gov. Tom Wolf as part of mitigation efforts to slow the covid-19 spread.
