Even though the good guys didn’t win this one, here’s some video of a great game between the #1 state ranked Holmes Huskies and our Clark Cougars from 1986.  It was Halloween night and the teams were playing for the district title.  Holmes had the Cash twins and Clark had a 10-3 season.  Enjoy!

QB Josh Kern

With his first season as a starter behind him and a major college commitment in his pocket, Clark quarterback Josh Kern is ready to get the 2011 football season underway. Express News reporter Pat Turner files this profile on Kern.

PLEASE NOTE: Contrary to the report, Ryan Jones and Hunter Anderson are both graduating and will not be playing with Kern next season. Among others, Kern’s receivers will be Brandon Yates, Troy Ogletree, Chase Jones, Presley Miller and tight end Alex Hunter.

Evan Mills

Senior football player Evan Mills is the recipient of the 2011 Clark Texas Football Club Scholarship. Mills, an offensive lineman for the Cougars, will be attending Texas State University in San Marcos. The $3000 scholarship is awarded each spring to a deserving student chosen by the alumni group.

The Clark Texas Football Club is a group of former Cougar football players who continue to support the football program in a variety of ways. Most of the scholarship money is raised through their end of summer golf tournament.

Congratulations Evan!

Megan Martinez, Megan Aragones, Dani Nash

Clark softball is sending at least three players into the college ranks next season. In a ceremony before a packed house of friends and family on Thursday, seniors Megan Martinez, Megan Aragones and Dani Nash all signed on to play college ball. Megan Martinez, who played 3rd base for the Cougars, will head to Mississippi Valley State next year. Megan is the daughter of Isabella Meza and she’ll study Biology Pre-Med in college. Megan Aragones, a utility player and pitcher for Clark, will play at the University of Texas at Dallas where she’ll study Kinesiology. Megan is the daughter of Anne Herrera and Chip Aragones. Dani Nash, who plays in the outfield, signed with Navarro College in Corsicana. She plans to get her Associates Degree in Paralegal Studies while there. Dani is the daughter of Elaine and Tod Nash.

Clark coach D’Layne Kelly said the three had worked hard for this moment and she was proud of each one of them.
