Coach Plummer

Coach Tony Plummer is looking for a few good swimmers and the time is now.                                                 Swimming Tryout Information:

Some familiar faces from Clark softball are lighting up the All Star field this summer. Felicia Sanchez, Morgan Biela, Megan Aragones, Morgan Herrera, Britney Ramos, Alex Losoya and Henessey Soto are part of the 2010 Northside Little League All-Stars.  They won the District 19 Title in San Antonio, the Section 3 Title in Uvalde, just recently won the State Title in Fort Worth, Texas and are now traveling to Alexandria, Louisiana  for the US Southwest Regionals.  They are repeating the record from last year; however, the girls don’t want to leave Louisiana without the title this year.  In 2009  they were one game from going to the Little League World Series. Expectations may be even higher this year. They have their eye on the US SW Title and a trip to Roxana, Delaware to the 2010 Little League World Series, Aug 8th-14th.

If you tune into www.espn977.com live radio THIS SATURDAY NIGHT AT 8PM, the girls will be playing their first game against New Mexico.  Other teams are East Texas (from Seguin), Colorado, Louisiana, Arkansas, Oklahoma and Mississippi.  Just check the website for the games.

There’s another website the girls are using for fundraising – looking for both corporate and personal donations.  AND IF BY CHANCE they do not make it out of this level, 100% of the funds will be donated to Northside Suburban Little League.  http://www.yourcause.com/Group.aspx?GroupID=6618 .

Good luck girls!

Clark Basketball

Clark girls basketball players had an opportunity to meet their new coach this week when Richard Herbst stopped by the school for a visit. Coach Herbst brings a wealth of experience to the Clark program with 27 years as a head coach in both the college and high school ranks compiling a 563-294 record. A native of Boerne, Coach Herbst played basketball at Boerne High School and then at Howard Payne University. He was an assistant at Colorado State University and was head men’s coach at Schreiner University and Mary Hardin-Baylor  for several years before returning to Schreiner as the head women’s coach.

From there he took over the Boerne High School girls basketball program from 1999-2007, and was able to coach his two daughters. His time in Boerne included several district titles and a state tournament appearance. More about that from sasports.com .

For the last three years Coach Herbst has been in Copperas Cove serving as head girls coach. Right beside him during that time was his wife, Michele,  as an assistant coach.  Read about it in the Killeen Daily Herald.

The Herbst’s  two daughters are Rebecca, a medical school student at the A&M Health Science Center and Jessica, who just graduated from Southwestern University in Georgetown. With lots of family in Boerne they are looking forward to their return to the San Antonio area.

Welcome Coach Herbst!

The Clark softball team used a first inning run to beat Corpus Christi Carroll for the second time in two games and will now move on to the area round of the playoffs. The 1-0 victory was enough to secure a bi-district championship and a spot in round two. That’s the good news, the tougher part will be facing the defending state champions in the next round.

Smithson Valley is next for Clark after ousting Westlake in a one game series.
