Each week during the football season, Clark Cougar football coaches review game film, stats and the week’s practices and award “Most Valuable Player” honors to their athletes. Thanks to AD/HC Steven McGhee, CCS will be sharing those awards with you. Here are this week’s winner’s from the Alamo Heights game:

Valle rushes for a 1st down

Under the bright lights of a television broadcast, the Clark Cougar varsity football team lost to the Alamo Heights Mules, 28-10.

1st Quarter

The Cougars looked strong, beginning with Cristian Arellano’s opening kickoff return to midfield.  The Cougars then marched down to the redzone but could not convert a 4th and 1 on the one yard line.  On the next possession, the defense attacked as Sam Carter caused and recovered a fumble. The Mules, however, made up for their mistake on their next possession scoring, making it Mules 7, Cougars 0 with :58 to go until the 2nd qtr.

2nd Quarter

Using classic Clark ball control, mostly through the rushing of Brandon Valle, the Cougars took the kickoff and ran a 19 play drive, ending in a 6 yd. touchdown pass from Chase Jones to R’Mani Bettis.  With 5:32 left before halftime, the score was tied.  Following a Heights possession, the Cougars responded with a score.  With no timeouts left and the clock ticking down, Nick Gonsalves executed a perfect “fire drill” field goal attempt of 24 yds. as the buzzer sounded.  Going into the locker rooms at the half, Clark led 10 to 7.

3rd Qtr.

Alamo Heights passed. AH 21-Clark 10

4th Qtr.

Final Score: AH 28 – Cougars 10

It’s a phrase that sounds like fingernails on a chalkboard.  It also is the only phrase to accurately describe the effort and outcome of a game where fans can feel good about what’s ahead for this year’s Clark Cougar varsity squad.  Despite their “48 minutes to play, a lifetime to remember” attitude , Clark fell short to Churchill  in the 2012 Gucci Bowl, 29-36.

A strong start by the Cougars showed why this season has playoff potential.

1st Qtr.

The Cougars took the opening kickoff and the o-line started blowing holes open.  Brandon Valle scored on a 23 yd. rushing TD down the left side with 1:41 burned off the clock.  The opening drive of 5 plays and 76 yds gave Clark a 6-0 lead. Churchill then scored making it 6-7.  On their 2nd possession, Presley Miller had a reception for 35 yds. and Brandon Valle once again bolted for 24 yds. for his 2nd TD of the night.  The Cougars led 12-7.  Churchill took the lead with another TD making it 12-14 and a bad snap on a Clark punt for a safety made it 12-16 at the end of the 1st.
