Cougar Football ready to get started for 2009

Coming off the team’s most successful season with a 13-2 record and an appearance in the Texas 5A semifinals in 2008, Clark Cougar football and their fans are looking forward to a new season.  Coach Lloyd Alexander and his staff will kick off fall practice on August 3rd, preparing for the 2009 campaign.

The date is earlier than usual due to the fact that there was no spring football practice because of UIL concerns regarding the swine flu and its effect on the spring athletic season.  Teams that do not have spring drills are allowed to start earlier in the fall.

There is still one last chance to get in a football game this spring, however.  The annual PowderPuff game is May 21st at Clark High School.
