The #4 Clark Cougars varsity men’s basketball team cleared the bench and saw 12 players play and score against the Brandeis Broncos, handing them a 71-32 whoopin’.  Elhad Emerllahu led the Clark effort.

#20 Esteban Rodriquez

The men’s varsity soccer Cougars continued their successful 28-5A season with a 3-1 win over the Holmes Huskies.  Esteban Rodriquez added two goals to his season scoring numbers and Placide Buduri also added a goal to his total.

In what can only be called a blowout as far as soccer is concerned, the Lady Clark Cougars soccer team  placed 7 goals in the back of the net to defeat the Holmes Huskies 7-0.  Freshman Gabrielle Santorio had three, Ciara Perez scored two and Rebekah Richards and Alyssa Bloom each joined the fun for a goal.   The win is a welcome one after several ties and keeps Clark in the playoff race.

Region VII Swim meet this weekend

Several members of the Clark Swim team are competing this weekend at the Region VII meet at the Josh Davis Natatorium.  And in case you missed it, there was a great article in the Express News on Chelsea Miller who won four gold medals at the district meet.  Good Luck, Cougars!
