CUACI-I'S CDR ER With the loss of six starting seniors from 1986 and only one returning senior in 1987, it appeared to be a rebuildingdyear. A very good group of juniors an sophomores gave hope to an excellent stepping stone and a possible shot at the section title, but the inexperience of the younger pla ' ers and inconsistencies on the pitch- ing mound led to a second consec- utive fourth place finish in section play For the 1988 season, the team wil return eight starters and with another year's exlperience, senior pitchers, Wendy ewis and Amy Gambrasi behind the leadership of senior team captain, Carey Balog, the prospects for a first place finish in section play is within reach. 1987 Softball Team RHS OPI' 16 Charleroi 11 14 Uniontown 10 4 Connellsville 9 2 Brownsville 13 6 Laurel Highlands 9 82 Belle Vernon 22 8 Charleroi 9 RHS 31 Uniontown 0 Connellsville 9 Brownsville 8 Laurel Highlands 3 Belle Vernon Won 4 OPP 5 1 7 10 22 Lost 175
