Chapman has the perfect game - twice

Senior football center and college bound Robert Chapman is featured in the Express News this Thursday.  You can read it in print or read it now here. Chapman has numerous awards for the Clark Cougars and is one of many great linemen on an offense that is averaging 33 points a game.

The Texas Sports Radio Netowork (TSRN) will broadcast this week’s Bi-district playoff game between Wagner and the defending Region IV champion Clark Cougars.  Mark Kusenberger and Virgil Peterson will have the call.

Carolyn Chavana had 18 points and Hannah Gulley added another 12 as the Clark Cougar girls basketball team punked Lee 54-36 in their season opener.  Taylor Buck, Melanie Schwartz, Courtney Rhodes, Kristen Lye and Chloe Rhodes also contributed points in the win.  Their ladies play next in this weekend’s Harlandale Tournament.  Congratulations also go out to Chavana, who was named a “Player to Watch” by the Express News.

Nice start, ladies!

Cougars #10 this week

The Clark Cougar varsity football team, ready for the playoffs after a perfect regular season, earned a Top Ten ranking in the Associated Press Texas state rankings.  Already listed #8 by Dave Campbell’s Texas Football in the state, the Cougars are #1 in San Antonio by the Express News, ranked #1 in Region IV by TheOldCoach.com and Rivals.com  and #1 by KSAT 12.  5ATexasFootball.com has consistently listed the team in their bottom twenty, this week at #25.  Go figure.

Hats off to the defense for picking up a “Game Ball” in the Express News this week for their smash mouth performance against Holmes, allowing only 17 yards in total offense and grabbing three turnovers.

Congratulations, Cougars!  BTHO Wagner!

First 10-0 season since 1995

It began with a Webb Williams 45 yd. field goal. It ended with the award winning Clark Cougar Band playing Queen’s “We Are the Champions”. In between it was pure joy as the Clark Cougar varsity football team headed into the post season with a win over the Holmes Huskies and a District 28-5A Championship . It is Clark’s 22nd year of playoff football.

Cougars to run at State meet

The Region IV Cross Country meet, held at Brooks City Base today, resulted in two Cougars qualifying for the State meet next weekend in Round Rock!  Shantel Swift (11:49.2) placed 9th in the girls 5A 2 mile race, and David Scorcelletti (16.04.8) was 8th in the boys 5k race.  The top 10 individuals and top 3 teams move on to State.  Just missing the trip north with great runs were Glynnis Meade (11:58.4), 11th and Jose Sierra (16:25.0), 12th in their respective races, and the boys team finished an amazing but heartbreaking 4th place.  The girls scoring was wrapped up by Stacey Wilkens (13.08.4), Katherine Ritchie (13:31.1) and Shaneve Swift (13:35.3), and the boys by Austin Wells (16:36.2) – who was 17th, plus James Leopold (17:12.0), and Ryan Pavlich (17:35.8).  The girls team finished 12th.  Congratulations to all for a great season, and best wishes to Shantel and David at State!

QB Sean Campbell scores

Story and photos to follow.

The Clark Sophomore football team completed a perfect 10-0 season with a hard-fought win over Smithson Valley, winning 20-6.

As with other games this season, Clark wasted no time in setting the tone defensively, recovering a fumble on the 2nd play of the game. Once Clark got their offense on the field, they knew exactly how to capitalize on their opponent’s mistakes.
With great blocking from the offensive line yet again, Clark’s running back tandem of Alex Ethridge (#24), Mariano Rendon (#31), Charles Quichocho (#34) and Michael Vasquez (#45) took their turn at running through the defense with time consuming drives. Taking a queue from their Varsity and JV brothers, Clark dominated time of possession in all games this season with a punishing running game and a very productive passing game led by quarterback Nick Coons (#7) and wide receivers Mitchell Rummel (#11), Jason Stock (#17) and Jeremy Sanchez (#82).
