Third In District After defeating second-place Nelson 16-14, the Cavalettes burst for joy, and the Nelson players trudge from the field. With the Nelson players leaving, players from the outfield and off the bench rush to congratulate each other. A collision occurs at second, but Sheree Turpin man¬ ages to put the runner out.

With the same coach and with most of their players the same as the girl's basket¬ ball team, the girl's softball team was able to avenge their earlier losses from the winter season. Finishing the regular sea¬ son with a record of 10 wins and 5 losses, the Cavalettes placed third in the district and met second-place Nelson in the dis¬ trict tournament. Although they had beaten Nelson just a few days earlier, the Cavalettes could n ot hold on and saw their lead vanish in the last inning, losing 12-11. For a first year team comprised of mainly sophomores, this showing is in¬ deed something to be proud of. Next year, an even better showing is expected, due to the large number of returning players. 1st Row: N. Evans, S. Turpin, S.- Branch, F. Pollard, P. Owen, A. Price. 2nd Row: K. Humphreys, E.

Although some of the potential play¬ ers were not eligible to compete, and school support was not totally coming their way, the team was able to overcome these obstacles and take second place in the district for the regular season. Losing twice to first-place Altavista, confidence was high that tournament play might allow an even better showing, particularly since the district tourna¬ ment was being held on the Cavaliers' home course of Colonial Hills. Instead, the Cavaliers had one of their worst days, and finished fifth. The team's season ended with Eddie Putney going to the regional tour¬ nament, although he did not place. ■ .
