Junior RB Ryan Jones bulls past Matadors

The season’s first football scrimmage involving the varsity, JV and freshman teams ended with mixed results, especially if you read local media reports.  As expected, the Clark varsity, who returned several starters from last year’s state semifinal team, looked good on defense along with some new faces in new places.  The offense also looked ready, scrimmaging without Senior quarterback Hayden Greenbauer, receiver Joe Vasquez, center Robert Chapman, OL Anker Wiggins as well as others.  Several starters from last year watched from the sideline as Sophomore QB Josh Kern guided the offense to a TD in a short game-like portion of the scrimmage with a pass to sophomore receiver Brandon Yates.  Both the JV and freshman teams also looked good in their portions of the scrimmage against the Seguin Matadors.

The Gazette-Enterprise of Seguin also watched the scrimmage.  Read what they had to say about it here.

Casanova digs deep

The Clark Cougar varsity volleyball team started well but couldn’t hold on for a win against Johnson in volleyball.  Clark won  the first two games, 25-20.  In game two, the Cougars led by as much as 5 during the midpoint of the game but Johnson tied it all up at 17.  Clark then took control to win but the tables were turned in game three as Johnson outscored the Cougars, also by a score of 25-20.  (continue reading…)
