Greenbauer gunning for Army

Former Clark Cougar varsity quarterback Hayden Greenbauer is the new Army Quarterback – for SMU.  Take a look at this if you haven’t pieced it together yet.

Coach Sylestine optimistic about 2010 squad

A tough non-district schedule has the Clark Cougars varsity boys basketball team ready for an even tougher district run.  In this article by Pat Turner, Head Coach Steve Sylestine talks about this year’s team.

Perez drives in the 4th

Junior Adam Perez scored 16 points, including two three pointers and 8 of his points in the 4th quarter, to lead the Clark Cougars in a 59-52 win against the brandies broncos.  Senior Kyle Rutledge and Senior Jacob Palacios added 10 each.

The Cougars led after each quarter.  Brandies (yes, this website spells it that way because…well, it’s funny) trailed by as many as 14 during a majority of the game.  The win was the opening district game for the Cougars who are ranked #5 in San Antonio.

Several Cougars from this year’s varsity football team were recognized for their efforts on the field.  Coaches from District 27-5A voted on the players (coaches are not allowed to vote on their own  players).

Jones plays smart

Congratulations to the following football players for their success in the classroom as well as on the field. San Antonio Clark was the only San Antonio 5A school to place athletes on the Texas High School Coaches Association Academic All State “Elite” list.

An overall grade point average of 92 or above for all four years, a senior and an athlete of good moral character are some of the qualifiers for this award.

Cougars win

The girls varsity basketball team took to the hardwood against the brandies broncos and the result was a 62-59 victory.  The Cougars record is now 2-1 in district play.

The ponies played well in the first half but the Cougars adjusted and poured it on in the third and fourth quarters, outscoring brandies by ten points in the final period for the victory.

Kristen Lye led Clark with 12 points but had plenty of help with Hannah Gulley and Melanie Schwartz adding 9 each, and Ashley Salinas and Donna Matthews sinking 8 more each.

Way to go COOGS!

Rutledge gets a little air and two

For the second time this season, the Clark Cougars varsity boys basketball team has defeated a state ranked team.  The Judson Rockets, ranked #22 by the Texas Association of Basketball Coaches, found out the hard way that the Cougars are a team on the rise.  Clark won 46-44 in an overtime thriller.

The Rockets looked like they would take off with a win in the first quarter.  Pinpoint shooting by Judson and Cougar misses gave Judson an early 21-11 lead.  The Cougars continued to fight but at the half the deficit was no closer, with Judson taking a 29-18 lead into the locker room.  The 3rd quarter was more of the same and going into the final period, Clark still trailed the Rockets 35-25.

In the 4th quarter, however, the Cougars defensive pressure and tough offensive hustle gave Clark a chance.  The defense allowed only three Judson points while the offense scored thirteen, none more important than a clutch three pointer by Adam Perez to send the game into overtime.

In the OT period, the Cougars took the lead for the first time and never gave it back to the Rockets.  An Ansley Benjamin putback and Adam Perez’s steal late in OT sealed the win. (continue reading…)

Lye fights for rebound

The Clark Cougars girls varsity basketball team exploded to a 15-4 1st quarter lead, then imploded, losing to Marshall 53-47 in district play.  A fast paced, high energy Cougar squad allowed the Rams only two points until the final minutes of the quarter but the Rams held the Cougars to only 6 points in the 2nd and 3rd quarter each.

In the 4th quarter, the Cougars found their inside game from the 1st quarter but fell short for the win.  Kristen Lye pounded the Rams for 14 points and Hannah Gulley supplied another 12.  The Cougars now stand at 6-11 and 1-1 in District 27-5A.

The Clark Cougars girls varsity basketball team had a good weekend in Austin, winning two but also dropping two at the Austin Bowie Tournament this past weekend.

The Cougars dominated in their first two outings, whipping Ausitn Bowie 52-42.  Kristen Lye had 17 points in the game.  A 53-20 pasting of Austin McCallum followed.  Games against San Marcos and Leander, however, turned up in the loss column.

Next up for Clark is district play with the opener against Taft at Paul Taylor.
