If you do a search on YouTube, there’s a number of Gucci Bowl related videos but none more classic than this 1991 Clark Pep Rally.  Thanks to our friends at @mysahighschools for pointing this out.  By the way, Clark won this game 41-7.

Cougars celebrate sweep

The Clark Cougar volleyball team, led by Kelly Cavanaugh’s 32 assists, whipped the Taft Raiders in district action, sweeping them 3-0 at Paul Taylor.  Cavanaugh also had 2 service aces and 15 digs in the match.  Meagan Moe and Katie Mattson pounded the Raiders with 12 kills each and Madison Woods kept the offense going with 19 digs.

The Cougars are now 2-1 in District 27-5A.  They next play Friday in the Smithson Valley tournament.  Great job, Coogs!

KSAT Instant Replay

As expected, the 2012 San Antonio football season couldn’t start without a televised Gucci Bowl and KSAT’s over-the-air digital channel 12.2 will carry the game.  KSAT announced today that the game can be seen on Channel 12.2 (which can be picked up with a cheap antennae) , on Time Warner cable 81, on GVTC channel 81 and Grand communications’ channel 271.

For the 29th time, Clark and Churchill will meet in the annual Gucci Bowl, the kickoff to the San Antonio High School football season.  The Chargers will be trying to pull a “hat trick”, winning for three years in a row while Clark will try to put an end to opening season losses for the past two years.  Both teams are starting new quarterbacks after losing players to graduation (Clark) and a family move (Churchill).  The Chargers return 31 players, 6 who started.  The Cougars return 12 players from last year’s 4-6 team, 6 who started for Coach Steven McGhee.  This year’s game is 7pm at Comalander Stadium in the Blossom Athletic Complex (map).

• This is the 29th Gucci Bowl.  The teams have met 30 times however.  Besides the Gucci Bowl, Clark and Churchill also faced each other in the playoffs in 1987, 1993 and 1994.
• Clark leads the all time record 15-14-2 and the Gucci Bowl record 14-12-2
• A Churchill win this year would give both teams a “three-peat” in the series.  Clark won the Gucci Bowl ’94-’95-’96

One of the fastest distance runners in San Antonio and possibly the state helped pace the Clark Cougars to a good showing at the NISD cross country meet.  Austin Wells, picked by many as a top five cross country athlete, took 1st place in the first meet of the season and helped lead a strong boys team to a 2nd place finish.  For the ladies, Frances Moore led all Cougar runners and helped the Coogs to a fifth place invitational finish.
