SCOREBOARD
Week 4 in review:
Now in the second half of the season, a more steady pace settles in. The U S Steel River Raptors, hot off their win in the Mid-Season Meet, returned to Braddock mid-week and performed the largest one-day cleanup of the season, posting 5050lbs to the board and earning another point for the team.
Penn Hills & Beechview continue their weekly collections, although the Northside’s 412 Redder Uppers show some restraint, pacing themselves with a light week and strategic preparation for the final push of the season.
Will Squirrel Hill finally join the fray? Will the Litter Wizards and the ShYFT Litter Crew get back on the hunt? There are only two weeks to go!
