Congratulations Cougars!

Clark has been pegged as the favorite to take the District 28-5A title this year by at least two Texas football prognosticators. Dave Campbell’s Texas Football magazine ranks the Cougars at #16 in its statewide preseason poll and tops in the district. Texas Football joins the website 5ATexasfootball.com in predicting an offensive MVP season for quarterback Hayden Greenbauer. While 5ATexasfootball.com has the Cougars at #25 in its preseason poll, the website expects a first place finish in the district race. 5A Texasfootball.com also predicts junior running back Ryan Jones will be 28-5A’s Newcomer of the Year.

Several  Clark Varsity Baseball Players have been recognized by the baseball website, SanAntonio5ABaseball.com. The site’s 2009 All San Antonio Super Team includes pitchers Carl O’Neal & Vincent Salazar, catcher Braden Mattson, outfielder Hunter McFall, and designated hitter Joseph Ybarra.  St Mary’s University bound Carl O’Neal was also a runner up for MVP.  The Cougars advanced to the second round of the 2009 playoffs and they graduate only 3 players from this year’s team.

Congratulations and best of luck in 2010!

Waiting an extra week to finish the regular season didn’t hurt the Clark baseball team.
