Girls just want to have fun

The Senior girls dominated the Juniors in this year’s annual Powder Puff game, three TD’s to one.  And despite all their efforts, the cheerleaders for this year still needed to shave and should not consider careers in high fashion. And get a tan.

Oh, and the 2011 varsity football schedule is posted on the calendar at the right.

Good luck SENIORS!

Seniors win(?) in 2010

It’s time for the annual Seniors vs. Juniors Powder Puff Football game!  This year, the game’s a bit early – Monday, April 11, 2011 so there’s not much time to get registered to play, to coach & to cheer!  This annual event is a good way to enjoy the springtime weather while watching our Srs and Jrs battle it out on the football field.  All proceeds from the game go to Project Graduation 2011 – a drug and alcohol free party open to all 2011 Clark Graduates!   Registration to play, coach or cheer at the 2011 Powder Puff game will be Monday, March 21 – Friday, March 25 during lunch hours outside the cafeteria.  For players, the registration is a low $20 which includes a commemorative t-shirt, and for coaches and cheerleaders, the registration is $15, which also includes the commemorative t-shirt.

Tickets to the game will be available at the game for just $5 AND this includes the 2011 Powder Puff Program!  What a steal!  You can pick up the forms during your lunch hour this coming week, or simply download the forms here.

Clark Lift-a-thon

The 18th annual Lift-A-Thon, sponsored by the Clark Texas Football Club, was another huge success. With a packed house of enthusiastic Cougar fans  the Lift-A-Thon provided an exciting look at the strength of next season’s Varsity and Junior Varsity squads.  Several players exceeded their personal best records. Among those still standing in the plus 300’s at the end were  Roger Lamar (jr),  Charles  Quichocho (jr)  and the DeHart brothers – William (soph) and Blake (jr). (continue reading…)

Three Clark Cougar varsity sports are in this week’s Express News rankings.

Since the first soccer ranking came out in preseason, the Clark boys soccer team has been ranked #1 in the San Antonio area.  Tonight they play Warren.  A win in that game would be a big step towards a district championship.  The Cougars are currently undefeated in district play.

The Clark softball team moved up to #6 in the rankings from #10 last week.  After a tough 1-0 loss to Taft as the very first game of the season (whose idea was that?), the Cougars have gelled and come storming through the district and are on a 8 game win streak.

A good showing in the NEISD tournament helped propel Clark baseball into the top 10 this week for the first time this season.  Clark is the only ranked NISD team.

And even though they don’t rank them, the golf team has shown some great growth since the beginning of the season and the water polo teams, always a perennial state tournament team, start play this week.

IT’S A GOOD DAY TO BE A CLARK COUGAR!

Only the strong survive

The annual Clark football fundraiser, Lift-a-thon, will take place tomorrow night at 6:30pm in the Clark boys gym.  Besides an unbelievable amount of testosterone, there will be dancing by the Top Cats.  There’s still time to sponsor one of the players who will be participating.

Lift-a-thon means there’s just a few weeks left until SPRING FOOTBALL SEASON!  Come on out and cheer on the guys and enjoy the Top Cat performances.

Congratulations to Senior Glynnis Meade who has verbally committed to run for Dallas Baptist University next fall.  Glynnis will run cross country, indoor and outdoor track for the DBU Patriots.  She was named to the Area 5A Cross Country team for the past two years, finished 36th at the State meet this year, and has met the national silver standard for the 2 mile and 5k.  She also competed in last year’s Regional track meet in both the 1600m and 3200m events.

Mery ('09) steps up

2008 Clark Cougar varsity football player Stephen Mery is a hero after he and a group of friends helped rescue a real estate agent who was being robbed.  This Express News article describes how Mery and friends recognized things were not right when they pulled up next to the car with the woman and her assailant.

Stephen is currently a student at Texas A&M University.

WAY TO GO, STEPHEN!
