A starting lineup in sports refers to the set of players actively participating in the event when the game begins. The players in the starting lineup are commonly referred to as starters, whereas the others are substitutes . Camarillo coach Bill Dowden, whose team already has outlasted section favorite Long Beach Wilson and powerhouse Torrance - both now eliminated - feels his Scorpions have the front-end quality and the depth to contend for the CIF/WSCGA's upper ranks after finishing within 10 strokes of undefeated champion Dos Pueblos of Goleta in the section final.

Granada Hills, a winner of back-to-back City Section team titles in its first two seasons of girls' golf, has modest but realistic goals Tuesday: The Highlanders would like to finish ahead of at least one team from another section after placing last in their first attempt in the competition among Southern, Central, City and San Diego San Diego (săn dēā`gō), city (1990 pop. 1,110,549), seat of San Diego co., S Calif., on San Diego Bay; inc. 1850.

Moreover, they will be helped by a CIF/WSCGA scoring system Noun 1. scoring system - a system of classifying according to quality or merit or amount rating system classification system - a system for classifying things that counts only the best four scores - as City Section teams have played all year - rather than the five-player scoring used in Southern Section. Thompson will be relying heavily on his underclass duo of sophomore Alyson Golditch and junior Lucy Davies, the best 1-2 combination in the City ranks this season. Golditch won nearly every match and the Valley 1 League championship for the 12-1 Highlanders, while Davies kept getting better throughout this, her first season of golf. After breaking 90 for the first time three weeks ago in the league championship, Davies dipped to 79 to take third place in the City championship. ``She's got it all "She's Got It All" is a single by country music singer-songwriter Kenny Chesney that reached the top of the Billboard Hot Country Singles & Tracks chart, marking his first Billboard No. 1. ahead of her,'' said Thompson, who suspected from the beginning of the year that Davies had the skills to have a bright future in golf. ``She's just got to work on her game and her mental toughness.'' Davies gets to work on both in every practice with teammate Golditch, a two-time league champion, and Thompson believes both benefit from the opportunity. ``She pushes Alyson,'' he said, ``and Alyson's pretty tough - she wants to stay on top. It's real good for both of them.'' Chatsworth, led by freshman Gloria Park, also qualified for the CIF/WSCGA competition by finishing second in the City championship, where Park placed seventh at 84. All of the players from the Camarillo, Chatsworth and Granada Hills teams also are eligible for individual honors at the CIF/WSCGA event, which has another eight area golfers qualified as individuals.
