Can you say brisk? It was another cold night in San Antonio but a great crowd turned out to watch the Clark Cougars shut out the competition at Farris Stadium. Play was fierce but Clark junior Matt Jacobs managed to put one in the net after a corner kick gave him an opening. (That makes 2 for defensive back Jacobs and 4 total for the defensive line this season.) Jay held the Coogs at 1-0 until the half. When Clark retook the field, they kept their focus and put two balls in the goal in rapid succession with senior Chris Pantaleone scoring Clark’s second goal of the game, 2-0. Shortly after Jay’s kickoff, senior John Cintron got the ball back for Clark and ran it up the field for an unbelievable goal, 3-0. Jay’s lone defensive back and keeper seemed stunned at Clark’s successful challenge. Both teams continued to play hard with several yellow cards being pulled and several players from both sides exiting the field after mild injuries.
Final score 3-0 for Clark, putting them at 7-2-0 for the season (4-1-0 in district play).
Next game is Tuesday, February 7th against Marshall, 5 pm on Northside Field #2.
