Elhad Emerllahu p0ured in 20, Ansley Benjamin added 18 and Jason Brickman put in another 12 as the #10 boys varsity basketball team defeated Brackenridge 64-52.  The Cougars started strong in the first half and defensively shut down the Eagles early on.

The girls’ team also grounded the Eagles with a 66-26 victory.  Courtney Rhodes and Carolyn Chavana each had 14 and everyone contributed points in the win.  Defensively, Brackenridge only achieved double digit scoring in one quarter of play.  The girls record is now 9-4 and the boys are 5-3.

The teams head in opposite directions this weekend for tournaments.  The ladies are in Austin and the men head south to the South Padre Island tournament.  Good luck!

Cougar Defense smothers Rams

The 2009 Clark Cougars varsity football team continued their historic run with a 35-14 beat down over the Del Rio Rams in the third round of the playoffs.  The win ties the most wins by a Clark team and is the best consecutive win record ever.

A tried and true Cougar formula, pound the ball down their opponents throats, once again was the winning recipe along with a stifling rush defense.  Behind Ryan Jones rushing and a Glenn Bonner 22 yd. reception, the Cougars marched down the field.  Hayden Greenbauer started the scoring on a 29 yd. run after Clark’s first possession with 2:28 left in the 1st qtr.

Clark vs. Del Rio on 930 AM

You can find the Clark vs. Del Rio game on KLUP-AM which also has live streaming.

Parking will be a bear with the River lighting ceremony also going on tonight.  Also, the parking lots will already be full from the previous game in the dome.  Don’t expect the Westlake vs. Harlingen crowd to thin out too much – they’ll probably want to scout a little of the next game.  Consider I-35 to the New Braunfels exit, then turn on Iowa which turns into Durango.

New cross country assistant coach Mark Pedroza is featured in the Conexión section of the newspaper this weekend.  New to Clark, along with Head Coach Anne Ager and assistant coach D’Layne Kelly, they’ve taken the teams to new levels.  You can find out more here.
