The latest season of Lebanon County girls basketball<\/a> saw several teams represent the area at the PIAA level, and now a pair of local athletes can say the same.<\/p>\n

Following the 2026 campaign,<\/a> Lebanon senior guard Olive Brandt and New Covenant Christian junior Qynne Demler each earned second-team all-state honors to add to their showcase this past season.<\/p>\n

In Class 6A, Brandt finished 2026 with 24.6 points per game over 22 contests which came in at No. 1 among all L-L league players.<\/p>\n

Her scoring came at all levels of the court, and the Cedars senior proved her efficiency as her team’s lead guard in 2026. Brandt’s latest season ended with 2.9 3-pointers made per game while also shooting a league-high 8.4 free-throw attempts per contest, and the Cedars senior capped her career with an all-state selection as a result.<\/p>\n

Demler was a constant factor around PIAA Class 1A in 2026, and her second-team all-state honor came after leading her team to its first District 3 title in school history.<\/a><\/p>\n

Following a junior season with 19.4 points per game in 29 contests, the Flames’ star guard has shown to get better every year so far. She finished third in scoring among all Class A L-L league players, and added 1.9 3-pointers per game while shooting over 60 percent on free throw attempts by the end of her junior campaign.<\/p>\n

Demler put up a season high of 31 points in two performances this year and tallied 20-plus points in 14-of-29 total games in 2026.<\/p>\n
