#14 C. Miller strips ball for Clark points

In a game that looked eerily like last year, the Clark Cougars varsity football team lost to the brandees broncos, 34-20.  The Cougars started the 1st half strong, capitalizing on brandees mistakes for points but created their own mistakes in the 2nd half to go home without a “W”.  Again, the Cougars looked improved from the game before, looking stronger as they get into the heart of district playoff positioning.

 1st Quarter

The Cougars started the game with a three and out possession but a brandees fumble on the punt gave Clark an opportunity in the red zone on the 20 yd. line.  On 2nd down and 23, Josh Kern found Brandon Yates for 22 yds.  On the next play, Kweku Larbie punched it in for the score.  Cougars 7 – brandees 0.  Following the kickoff, the broncos could have been renamed the butterfingers as they fumbled the first three snaps burying them deep in their own territory.  The last was caused by Chris Miller and recovered by ? setting up the Cougars on the 15 yd. line. Ty Williams hit a 26 yd. field goal to give the Cougars a 10-0 lead with 5:24 left in the 1st half.  The “my little ponies” finally put points on the board to end the first half Clark 10, brandees 7.

Some punk stole the sign that says, “It’s a great day to be a Clark Cougar” that was recently hung on the fence by the air conditioners.  If you know who did it, please have them return it to Coach McGhee’s office or the main office of the school or better yet, hang it back up.

Grab some pride, Clark and let’s make it right!

And a small reward is offered if you have info on who took it.  Feel free to email this site.

Tri-Rice Van Buren rams Marshall

The Clark Cougars varsity football team had a great night against the Marshall Rams, winning 33-14 in District 27-5A action.  The game didn’t start that way, however, as Clark was surprised with either a bad kickoff or an onside kick.  Instead of starting their first offensive drive, the Cougar defense took the field and what would be an omen for the Rams the rest of the evening, gave the ball back to the Clark offense.

1st quarter

A rolling punt gave the Cougars a start on their own 1 yard line.  Josh Kern ran for 5 yds. and then on 2nd down, Kern found Brandon Yates for a 26 yd. reception.  Two plays later, Kern ran 55 yds. around the right side of the line, setting Clark up at the Marshall 10.  And three plays later Kern powered his way in for the first score of the night giving Clark a 6-0 lead.  At the 5:05 mark, Mekeba Henderson delivered a bone-jarring sack, resulting in a 3-and-out situation for the Rams.  A Kweku Larbie run, a Manny Menezes reception and another Larbie rush quickly put the Cougars at the 26 yd. line.  On 4th and 8 from the 24, Kern this time found Larbie as a receiver, and the Cougars led 13-0 with a minute left in the 1st quarter.

Cole makes her point

The Clark Cougars slew the Steele Knights in three sets at Clark’s home gym 25-12, 25-21, 25-14.  In the first game, Clark dominated, leading by as much as 14  at the 21-7 mark.

Game two, however, defined the evening for the Cougars, as they fell behind early and were down by at least 7 points for much of the contest.  Down 18-15, the Cougars clawed their way back, tying the game when Rosalyn Velasquez soft tapped a shot over the net making it 18-18.  From that point on, Abby Glosup set up Hunter Cole for a relentless series of kills that stunned Steele and turned the momentum over to the Cougars.

The game was a non-district contest but that action heats up again Wednesday against an improved Holmes team.  The Cougars are 4-2 in district and 18-12 on the season.

Great win, ladies!

Another 100+ for Larbie

The Clark Cougar varsity football team crushed the Taft Raiders 48-13 in their opening District 27-5A game.  The scoring came often and through a variety of ways, beginning with the opening drive.

Lots of Larbie was served up to the Raider defense as Kweku Larbie found plenty of room to run.  Alex Hunter was on the receiving end of one of Josh Kern’s three passing TD’s for the evening and Clark was on top 6-0 with only three minutes off the 1st quarter clock.  On the following kickoff, Taft fumbled the ball, setting up the next Cougar score.  This time Larbie got the payoff with a 5 yd. run to the endzone and a little over a minute after the Cougars’ first touchdown, the Cougars owned a 13-0 lead in the 1st.  A quick three and out for Taft gave the ball back to the Cougars and Larbie rushed for his 2nd TD of the night from 3 yds out to finish the Cougar drive and make it a 20-0 game with a little over 7 minutes gone in the 1st quarter.

Manny Menezes set up the next score for Clark with a nice 20 yd. rush to the Taft 3 yd. line.  Josh Kern’s 1 yd. dive gave the Cougars a 27-0 advantage with 7:37 left on the 2nd qtr.  Taft added a touchdown before the half  and the teams went to the locker rooms with Clark 27 – Taft 7.

The pace slowed down in the 3rd quarter although no one told the Clark defense.  Daniel Orhiunu delivered an 8 yd. sack that killed a Taft drive to the end zone.  Chris Miller recovered a Taft fumble later in the quarter that set up a Kern to Brandon Yates connection for 29 yds., giving the Cougars a 34-7 lead at the end of the 3rd.
