A Clark Original

Athletic Director and Head Coach Lloyd Alexander announced to his team today that he would be retiring at the end of the school year.  The following is a brief bio of the man known as “Coach A.”

He says his favorite moment at Clark is not a single game or event, but a patchwork of many small moments when former players come back to visit and tell him how much the lessons learned in the Clark athletic program have meant to them in their work and family lives.

For Coach Lloyd Alexander that’s real success in Clark, Texas.

When Clark High School opened its doors to students 31 years ago, it also welcomed young Lloyd Alexander to the athletic staff. Aside from a two-year stint at Southwest High School, Coach Alexander has been on the Clark, Texas sidelines since the beginning, filling numerous coaching roles from his initial duties as Clark’s first freshman football, basketball and Junior Varsity baseball coach through his years as defensive coordinator and finally to his selection in 2002 as Clark’s Athletic Coordinator and Head Football Coach.

Greenbauer fights for yardage

The Clark Cougar varsity football season came to an end in the Region IV championship as Austin Westlake defeated the Cougars 37-20. The Cougars committed six turnovers in the state quarterfinal.

The Cougars end the season at 13-1 with a record 13 wins in a row. The seniors finish their career with a 26-3 record over the past two years, the best record in Clark football history. It’s been a remarkable, unbelievable run. Congratulations, Cougars and looking forward to next year.

Post season awards are expected to be released this week.

If you’ve visited the 265 (that’s District 26-5A/NEISD) lately, you know there’s plenty of road construction going on that side of town.  Regarding the best way to get to Heroes Stadium, there are reports that 410 at Starcrest will be a mess this Saturday.  I drove past there a weekend ago and traffic in that direction was definitely backed up.  So be sure to check your best route for getting there on time.  There are several ways to go including using the Wurzbach Parkway where it connects by Blossom.

For the latest closures, traffic, etc., use the up to date Transguide website for helping you through our expanding city.
