Go Clark!

The Coogs fell to Stevens last night, ending football season for Clark until next year.

Go Coogs!

Despite a valiant second half effort to bridge the gap, an effort made without QB Trenton Ford, the Coogs fell to Brandeis in the last regular season game.

A disappointing game for Clark football, which lost to O’Connor 35-6. Chris Rollins had the TD.

William Young was named Athlete of the Week by The Echo, a neighborhood newspaper, in their October 15th edition for his performance in the Marshall game.

Congrats!

The football Cougars dominated Holmes in last night’s game at Gus Stadium, winning 35-13. Clark came out strong with 14 points in the first quarter, with TDs from Trenton Ford and Matt Miller and extra points from Colby Lorenz. The second quarter the trend continued with 14 more points, this time from William Young and Trenton Ford with Lorenz again scoring the extra points. The third quarter Clark scored with another TD from Young and kick by Lorenz. Holmes attempted a comeback with seven points.  The fourth quarter saw Clark quiet, with Holmes making one TD.

Go Coogs!

Next week: Homecoming with Clark vs Marshall

Still angry over last year’s defeat at the hands of the Cougars, the loss that kept them out of the play offs, Stevens roared back to win over Clark 51-14.

After a strong first quarter Clark lost to an inspired MacArthur team 33-7 at Farris last night.

On a night when the weather could not have been more different than last week’s game, the outcome, a Cougar victory, was the same.  The Cougars came out aggressively against the Longhorns from Laredo United, stripping the opening kick off from the Longhorn return specialist.  The ensuing drive culminated with a 2-yard touchdown run by quarterback Trenton Ford, and Tristan Cavazos followed it with the PAT.  After the ensuing kick off, the defense came up with a huge fourth down stop and the offense went to work again – running over the Longhorns as they marched down the field.  William Young literally snatched Ford’s pass from the hands of the defender, and was in the end zone before the Longhorn even realized he wasn’t holding the ball!  The 29-yard touchdown reception was Young’s third in two games.  The Cougars would find the end zone yet again early in the second quarter on a 1-yard run by Julian Dusuau, giving the Cougars 20 points before Laredo was able to put a point on the scoreboard.  The Longhorns took a turn showing off their passing prowess, as they scored two unanswered touchdowns before half time.  Clark headed to the locker room at the half with a 20-14 lead.

Your Cougars received the second half opening kick off and marched it down field on a good mix of running and pass plays, with Ford building on Clark’s lead on another 1-yard touchdown run.  The 2-point conversion attempt fell short.  The defense continued to stymie the Longhorn’s offense, and with just under 3 minutes to go in the third quarter, Kyle Dudney grabbed a tipped Laredo pass and took it 24 yards to the end zone for Clark’s final score of the evening.  Cavazos followed with the extra point, giving the Cougars a 33-14 lead going into the fourth quarter.

As the wind grew stronger, both teams struggled to move the ball in the fourth quarter, trading punts, until Laredo found the end zone for the night’s final time.  Their 2-point conversion attempt failed, resulting in a final score of 33-20.

Clark had all aspects of their game working for this game.  The offense was able to move the ball on strong blocking; the defense came up huge against the passing offense of Laredo, forcing three turnovers; and even the special teams played a key role with solid kick offs, PATs in a swirling wind, a tipped punt by Will Buchman, and a successful on-side kick by Colby Lorenz.  It was good to see the Cougars clicking on all cylinders this early in the season.

The Cougars will host non-district foe, MacArthur, next Saturday night at Farris stadium.
