Cougar Football

The Clark Cougar football program is prominent in this year’s Fall Preview.   Congratulations to several Clark players, past and present, mentioned.  You can check out the accolades and expectations for Clark in the fall preview here.

Head Coach McGhee leads his troops

For the first time this season, the Cougars had a chance to hit someone else and the result was very promising for fans of football.  The Cougars took on the Reagan Rattlers in the first (and last) scrimmage of the year at Blossom Athletic Center.

Both the 1st team offense and defensive units showcased new looks and personnel.  A strong defense kept a highly-touted Reagan offense out of the end zone in “real game” conditions while the offense marched down the field for a score during the same situation.

CCS rarely offers opinions but here’s one for this season: Clark Cougar football fans are going to enjoy this year.

GO GET ‘EM COOGS!

Williams receives congratulations

With a couple of hundred people looking on and with field goals of 53, 53, 49, 47 and 42 yds., Clark Cougar kicker Webb Williams was named co-champion of the 2010 Texas A&M Kicking Camp in the Field Goal competition.  Over 100 kickers from around the state and nation attended the camp, including several college prospects who competed in punting, kickoff, and long snapping contests.  Williams made the finals by making FGs of 42 and 47 yds. in the preliminary round, going to the finals on Kyle Field with approximately 17 others.

It was a good weekend for the senior kicker who plans to attend Texas A&M and who was also named to Dave Campbell’s Texas Football pre-season All State team in the annual release of the football guru’s magazine.

Congratulations!
