After a long bus ride, the group arrived at Cocoa Beach. Next the group headed for its Orlando hotel and an open evening. The next morning saw an early trip to Kennedy Space Center. Then the group had fun in the sun at Wet-n-Wild. At night all traveled to Pizza Hut for a party. The highlight of this mini-vacation for most was the trip to Disney World and Epcot. Students chose to spend the day with Mickey Mouse or Figment. Following a day-long visit to Busch Gardens, at 5:00 p.m. the sad group loaded on the bus for the trek back to Pennsylvania. 38 % We love this bus!

Closing with an 9-12 overall record, this year’s team missed the playoffs and 2nd place by just one game. The Junior Varsity also did well, ending their season with a 9-11 overall record. Thus the future looks bright for both the J.V. and the Varsity basketball teams. Ursula led the team in blocks and steals.

The West Allegheny varsity baseball team came into the season with a strong mix of proven seniors and talented juniors. Among these were returning let-termen Dean Sladick, Dave Sladick, Kenny Teatino, Stanley Repos, and Dennis Cornell. The Indians finished second (tied) in a section with the likes of Moon and Montour and Hopewell. The first West Allegheny Baseball team to make the playoffs since 1956 suffered a disappointing loss to Upper St. Clair in the playoffs. Team leaders in various batting and pitching categories included Ken Teatino (6 doubles), Dave Sladick (3 triples) and Gary Lowry (4 homeruns). Dave and Dean Sladick knocked in 20 and 21 runs respectively. Dean Sladick led in batting average with a .448 clip. For pitchers Scott Jenkins led in wins (6) and strikeouts (37). Denny Cornell had the lowest earned run average (1.93).
