Listed below is the up-to-date list of all Lancaster-Lebanon League boys basketball players who have had their name called as a member of the Pennsylvania All-State Basketball Team as selected by either the Associated Press, UPI, or Pennsylvania Sports Writers. Although other players likely received All-State accolades prior, this list only consists of players who played during the league’s officially known existence (1972-73 school year).
