The 19th Annual Clark Cougar Lift-a-thon is scheduled for 6:30 PM on Monday, March 4th in the Boys’ Gym at Clark.

An invitation from our friends with the Clark Texas Football Club:

If you’ve not been before, I encourage you to take it in this year.  Part lifting contest, part pep rally and part revival, the Lift-a-thon is a fundraiser for Clark Football Athletics. Each player takes his turn maxing out on the bench press while his teammates, parents, friends and the fanatics in the stands scream their guts out…and the Tops Cats Dance Team will perform at the intermissions.

If you are interested in sponsoring, you can in one of two ways: contact Coach Steve McGhee at the high school if you would like to be a bench sponsor OR you can sponsor an individual player (just say yes, if one of them approaches and asks).

In other football news:

-Spring Ball starts on April 29th.  The date for the Silver & Black Spring Game is TBD.

-Save June 15th on your calendar as we will play the 12th Annual Clark, Texas Golf Outing that Saturday.

Kweku Larbie

Roger Lamar

In the immortal words of Super Dave, “it’s a great day to be a Clark Cougar”.  Recently, before the assemblage of graduating seniors and the 2012 Cougar Football team, the CTFC handed out the 10th Lloyd Alexander Scholarship to Kweku Larbie and the 1st ever David Dalkowitz Scholarship to Roger Lamar.  It is the first year we have been able to award two scholarship (mostly due to the generosity of George Gaiser Jr ’83, who you know will get at least one Shameless Plug of the Week this season for his company, BUILDEM Construction).

Larbie will attend Alabama State this fall and Lamar has signed up at Incarnate Word.  This makes our 10th and 11th scholarships awarded as we set to turn a decade old this year and turn our sights on growing the CTFC and its scholarships over the coming years.

Congratulations to Kweku and Roger! Remember, Tradition Never Graduates!
