History Begins

On the eve of the Lancaster Lebanon League Wrestling Championships presented by LAW, we are please to unveil a new section of ll-league.com:  a history of league champions.

This is still a work in progress and currently only winter sports (but not all) are chronicled.  Even those are incomplete.  As seasons progress, additional items will be added.  Omissions are not intended as an insult to any school or sport.  The simple fact is, history takes time.

Many thanks to the people who have contributed information to this archive, with extra special thanks to Rich Hinnenkamp, Athletic Director at Lancaster Catholic pushed the first snowflake in this snow ball.
