Letterman’s Club Athletes of the Week Honored
Two Greater Latrobe athletes received the honor of being the Letterman’s Club Athlete of the Week: junior Kaity Finley and senior Brandon Clark. In softball, Finley was five for eight with four singles and a double in two games this past week. She had two RBI and scored four times and her speed and left hand slapping style of hitting helped her to an on base percentage of .777. Defensively, she gave a solid performance at shortstop making a diving catch and doubling up a runner on third to end the inning and Penn Trafford’s scoring rally. In the Norwin game, she made an amazing catch over her head to keep the ball in the infield and runners in place. In baseball, Clark achieved much early in the season. In the first nine games of the season, Brandon has been up to the plate 32 times and gone 13 for 25 for a .520 batting average. His on base percentage is .600, and slugging percentage is .560 and only has one strike out. Defensively, he has played 52 innings without error. Congratulations to both athletes!
