Coaches McGhee, Alexander and Robbins

Former students, players, parents, coaches and friends gathered together for a night of memories and thanks to honor Athletic Coordinator and Head Coach Lloyd Alexander at a casual retirement party organized by the Clark Athletic Booster Club.

Several former players, including the Clark Texas Football Club, were able to give thanks and share memories of the coach who began his career at Clark the first day the doors opened.

Dressed in a Hawaiian shirt, Coach A thanked those in attendance and spoke briefly to the crowd about his appreciation for the Clark community and especially the expectation by Clark athletes and fans to win, which, he said, made his job easier.

The highlight of the evening was an announcement by Jeff Schorr, the Clark Texas Football Club founder, that their annual scholarship (this year – $3000) would from here on out be named the Lloyd Alexander scholarship.  This year’s recepient will be named in a few days.

The Clark Texas Football Club is an organization of former Clark coaches and players.

Down a player before the game ever started, the Clark Cougars baseball season ended with a whimper as the Victoria Memorial Vipers scored 16 runs in two games and blanked the Cougars.  You can read more in this article.

The Cougars, not predicted to fair well by local prognosticators, ended up with a good season and a 3rd place finish in District 28-5A to make it to the first round of the playoffs.

Great season seniors and good luck!
