Attractions in Lebanon, Kentucky

Lebanon Lancers Semi-Pro Basketball...

Come see the Kentucky Basketball Developmental League's 2008 and 2009 champion at the spectacular Roby Dome in historic downtown Lebanon. The Lebanon Lancers open the 2010 season Sat., April 10 against an opponent to be named at home.

The KBDL schedule is regionally based and allows teams to play at home and closer to home more often. The KBDL has attracted the interest of dozens of pro, semi-pro and international pro basketball players, coaches and managers since it began. Its objective is to create a minor league system that develops and trains talent for the international professional basketball leagues.

The Lancers are led by West Virginia University’s Elton Scott, Western Kentucky University star Boris Siakam, Eastern Kentucky University and former Harlem Ambassador Jute Belle and University of Tennessee Chattanooga’s Petie Spaulding,

Western Kentucky University star and 2008 KBDL Coach of the Year Mark Bell steers the Lancers along with Kentucky Wesleyan’s John Bell.

Players that have competed in the KBDL include Anthony Epps (University of Kentucky), James Brewer (University of Louisville), Brandon Stockton (University of Kentucky), Chad Schweitzer (Indiana University), Brandon Jenkins (University of Louisville), Lamont Rolland (Louisiana State University), Perrin Johnson (University of Louisville), Ravi Moss (University of Kentucky) and Preston LeMaster (University of Kentucky).
