The Clarion Area Lady Cats Softball Team, led by a pair of masterful performances, in the circle, by Kait Constantino, recorded road wins over Clarion-Limestone last Monday (April 1st) and Brookville on Wednesday (April 3rd).

The Lady Cats downed the Lions 9-1 and the Lady Blue Raiders 9-0, as the Clarion bats came alive also.
