O-Line hammers away at Mules

Clark Cougar fans stayed on the edge of their seats all night, but in the end they left the Mules out in the rain as the team took a narrow 14-13 win over Alamo Heights and boosted their season record to 2-0. The rainy, hard fought victory featured gutsy performances by quarterback Hayden Greenbauer, running back Ryan Jones and all their friends on the offensive line. Check out a rundown on the action in the Express-News. The pursuit of a district championship begins next week against Brandeis.

Neal rips AH defense for another gain

While there were several bright spots, the Clark Cougar JV football team lost the first game of the season on Mike Robbins Field 19-21 to Alamo Heights.  The defense started the scoring as Kevin Neal intercepted an Alamo Heights pass and ran it in for a TD.  Neal also scored after a nice drive by the offense.  The final score came from a Troy Ogletree spiral to Brandon Yates.  Mistakes by both offense, defense, and special teams and Alamo Heights momentum and execution were the perfect storm for the first loss of the season.  The sophomore team, however, were persistent and won their game against the Mules.  Congratulations, guys!

GO COOGS! BEAT the Mules!

Defense denies Chargers credit

The Clark Cougar varsity football team, with a first game domination of the Churchill Chargers in a 27-0 win, impressed local and statewide media.  The Express News moved them from a #4 preseason ranking to #3.  KSAT 12 moved the Cougars from #5 to #3, and Dave Campbell’s Texas Football was impressed enough to move the Cougars from #16 in the state of Texas to # 13.

#12 QB Josh Kern fights through Churchill defense

Following in the footsteps of the varsity, the Clark Cougar JV football team blanked the Churchill Chargers in a lightning shortened game 27-0.  A rushing TD with 3 minutes left in the 1st quarter started the scoring blitz.  In the 2nd quarter, Sophomore QB Josh Kern hit Junior WR Jeremy Harris over 50 yards down field for what would be a 72 yard TD, giving the Cougars a 14-0 lead. Deandre Holmes made it 21-0 later that quarter on a nice rushing TD.  In a game full of highlights for the Cougars, including an offensive line blowing the defense off the ball and some nice running by Sophomore Kevin Neal, it was the defense who would score next.  A fumble recovery by #56 Aaron Benjamin, who rumbled, bumbled and stumbled his way for a good 60 yards after shedding at least 3 tackles, would end the scoring and guarantee the win for the Cougars.  Lightning in the area caused the officials to end it early…(or it was the mercy rule?).  The Clark sophomore team also won, beating the Chargers 6-0.  Congratulations to both teams.

In a contest much closer than the game, the Chargers edged out Clark  by 4 votes in the burrito contest sponsored by Habaneros Grill at the Rim.  Clark took the Chargers to the woodshed on the field, however, and as a result, ALL CLARK STUDENTS receive HALF OFF burritos TOMORROW ONLY at Habaneros.  Scoreboard!

Greenbauer and Cougars roll

The Clark Cougars started the 2009 season with a shutout of the Churchill Chargers in the 26th annual Gucci Bowl.  The final score was 27-0 and was the 4th shutout in the history of the event.  Photos, interviews and more to follow.  WAY TO GO COUGARS!
