Lamberti leads local quartet on Boys All-State Basketball Team

South Fayette senior Mike Lamberti – the first four-time selection to the Observer-Reporter All-District first team – is now a three-time all-state selection.

The 6-6 forward and West Liberty recruit was a first-team Class AAA selection in the 2010-11 Pennsylvania sports writers' boys all-state high school basketball team. The team is chosen by a statewide panel.

Lamberti was a second-team Class AA pick last year and a third-team pick as a sophomore.

Trinity's Josh Valentic may be the first boys player in school history to earn all-state recognition. The shooting guard and Wheeling Jesuit recruit with a 30-point average was a second-team pick.

South Fayette's Pat Zedreck - the O-R Player of the Year - was a third-team pick.

Monessen's Cam Johnson, who elevated his play during the Greyhounds' run to the WPIAL Class AA title and PIAA semifinals, was a second team pick.
