#13 Claudio Alvarez

Down 1-0 in the first half, the men’s JV soccer team stepped it up and scored  two goals to defeat the Panthers in district play.  Like the men’s varsity, their record is now 3-1-1 in 28-5A.  Claudio Alvarez and Bruno DiPetta scored for Clark.

The #9 ranked Clark Cougars varsity men’s soccer team scored four goals and only allowed one as they defeated the O’Connor Panthers in district play 4-1.  Francisco Garza, Placide Buduri, Esteban Rodriquez and Evan Javors each scored for the Coogs. Placide also had two assists in the win.

Ross saves again

Following an outburst of five goals in the previous game, the Lady Cougars varsity soccer team couldn’t find their scoring legs against the O’Connor Panthers, ranked #7 by the Express News.  The good news is neither could O’Connor as sophmore goal keeper Amy Ross made several saves and shutout the Panthers.  The result is a tie for both teams.  Clark’s district record now stands at 2-0-3.

C. Sepulveda

If you play soccer for Jay, the school you don’t want to see is Clark.  Following in the footsteps of the 5-0 wins by both the men’s and ladies’ varsity teams, the men’s JV Clark Cougars joined in the fun with a 5-0 win over the Jay JV.  Carlos Sepulveda scored early and then with less than 5 minutes left in the game, scored again.  In those same five minutes, so did Elijah Mayfield, Abdi Mahdi and Endrit Skenderi.
