Back-door cuts: All but one player return from a Beavers side that claimed District 3-A gold last year, though that one player was Big 15 first-teamer Timmy Orr. Still, with Frattaroli, Colon, Pletz and Thomas back into the starting lineup, and an experienced bench behind them, Lebanon Catholic can dream not only about repeating in District 3-A but also challenging for the top spot in Section 4.
Projected order of finish in L-L Section 4: 3rd of 6
First game: Friday night, 8, at Mount Calvary
First home game: Monday, Dec. 9, 7:30 vs. Veritas Academy
