Wise takes control

In a fierce district matchup, the Lady Cougar varsity soccer team took on the Marshall Rams.  With at least two yellow cards in the match, both teams fought for the win.  The Clark offense was on the attack in the first half but in the second half the tables were turned and it was the defense who kept the Rams out of the goal.  The result was a frustrating 0-0 tie.

Former state 5A champion and Clark graduate (2005) Patience Knight is in the news.  A Texas Tech senior, she won the shot put at the Texas Tech Invitational with a “toss” of 53′ 1.75″.  That heave gives her a provisional qualification for the national indoor championships.  Knight is the 2008 Honda Inspiration Award winner, honoring one female athlete, as well as an Academic All-American.

The Texas Girls Coaches Association’s All-Star match has selected Clark senior Anna Drewry, who is committed to Purdue, to play for the 4A-5A East squad.  The matches will be played in July in Austin. Congratulations to Anna on her well deserved recognition.

Tilghman's the Best!

The winter edition of Dave Campbell’s Texas Football is out and San Antonio Clark Cougar senior RB Jock Tilghman is the 5A Player of the Year.  The leading rusher in 5A is featured in the magazine and was also All-District and the San Antonio Express News’ Offfensive Player of the Year.

Okechi

Down 0-1 most of the game, the Clark men’s JV soccer team rallied back in the second half to score and come away with a tie against Stevens. Valentine Okechi (one of our new favorite Clark athlete names) put the ball in the net after a Clark corner kick came out to the top of the box.  Junior keeper Scott Gray had several saves during the game.
