Greenbauer will be a Mustang in 2010.

Clark Cougar QB Hayden Greenbauer, following a weekend visit to a SMU practice,  has given a verbal commitment to SMU and the Mustangs.  Congratulations!

Here’s what SMU fans are saying.

Clark Cougar varsity baseball ended their win streak at nine with a loss to Warren 3-2.  The Cougars have a non-district game with New Braunfels next and final district games against Taft and Holmes before the playoffs begin.

Congratulations to the following Clark athletes who’ve won various All-City and District Team honors.  It’s a good day to be a Clark Cougar fan!

Fargnoli's stand up triple

8 in a row. 4 by 10. 10 hits.  Any way you look at the numbers, they add up to a 10-2 District 28-5A record, 2nd in District and #6 in the city.  The Cougars walloped the” John Jays” 13-3 (an original term from the greeat guys at Clark Texas Football Club).  The Cougars jumped on them early with a 6-0 lead after two innings.  Carl O’Neal once again went the distance for the win.  Several players hit including Jonathon Fargnoli who started a double play in the fourth, tripled in the same inning and then finished the Mustangs off with a double in the fifth, ending the game as the ten run rule was reached.  Next game is a big one against district leading O’Connor on Tuesday.

Vincent Salazar pitches to victory

The Clark Cougar varsity baseball team won again.  This time it was the Marshall Rams who took the beating, losing to the Cougars 4-1.  Vincent Salazar went the distance and got the win.  Joseph Ybarra and Trey Doebbler took the Rams deep with the long ball. The Cougars also earned a #6 ranking by the Express News thanks in part to a win streak that now totals seven in a row in District 28-5A.
