For the 29th time, Clark and Churchill will meet in the annual Gucci Bowl, the kickoff to the San Antonio High School football season.  The Chargers will be trying to pull a “hat trick”, winning for three years in a row while Clark will try to put an end to opening season losses for the past two years.  Both teams are starting new quarterbacks after losing players to graduation (Clark) and a family move (Churchill).  The Chargers return 31 players, 6 who started.  The Cougars return 12 players from last year’s 4-6 team, 6 who started for Coach Steven McGhee.  This year’s game is 7pm at Comalander Stadium in the Blossom Athletic Complex (map).
