Chapman celebrates fumble recovery

Another award has rolled in for the Clark Cougars’ All State center Robert Chapman.  This time it’s on the Rivals.com “The Old Coach” Class 5a All State Team.  Robert is one of only two players on the list from the Austin/San  Antonio area (insert sarcastic look here).  This is just another award in a list of superlatives for the senior headed to the next level.

All Area/District teams announced

Congratulations to each on their individual accolades and representing Tom C. Clark High School in the stadiums, gyms and fields.

Coach Lloyd Alexander

A great article from David Flores of KENS5 on Coach Lloyd Alexander and his coaching career and early years.

A Clark Original

Athletic Director and Head Coach Lloyd Alexander announced to his team today that he would be retiring at the end of the school year.  The following is a brief bio of the man known as “Coach A.”

He says his favorite moment at Clark is not a single game or event, but a patchwork of many small moments when former players come back to visit and tell him how much the lessons learned in the Clark athletic program have meant to them in their work and family lives.

For Coach Lloyd Alexander that’s real success in Clark, Texas.

When Clark High School opened its doors to students 31 years ago, it also welcomed young Lloyd Alexander to the athletic staff. Aside from a two-year stint at Southwest High School, Coach Alexander has been on the Clark, Texas sidelines since the beginning, filling numerous coaching roles from his initial duties as Clark’s first freshman football, basketball and Junior Varsity baseball coach through his years as defensive coordinator and finally to his selection in 2002 as Clark’s Athletic Coordinator and Head Football Coach.

The 28-5A All District football teams have been released and they’re heavily populated with the state quarter-finalists Clark Cougars. Congratulations to all!

Greenbauer fights for yardage

The Clark Cougar varsity football season came to an end in the Region IV championship as Austin Westlake defeated the Cougars 37-20. The Cougars committed six turnovers in the state quarterfinal.

The Cougars end the season at 13-1 with a record 13 wins in a row. The seniors finish their career with a 26-3 record over the past two years, the best record in Clark football history. It’s been a remarkable, unbelievable run. Congratulations, Cougars and looking forward to next year.

Post season awards are expected to be released this week.
