Following their 3rd shutout of the season, the Clark defensive unit was recognized with a “Game Ball” in the SA Express News. The “D” held O’Connor to -4 yards rushing after holding Jay to 50 yards rushing the week before. Clark also posted shutouts against Jay and Churchill.  In the seven games played this season the Cougar defense has given up only 55 points. Clark held on to its #1 ranking overall in the Express-News and KSAT-12 and moved up to #10 in the state in Dave Campbell’s Texas Football poll.

Warren is next. Friday night 7:30 at Farris. Be there! GO COOGS!

The JV teams will be at the Central Catholic Relays on Wednesday, and Varsity will travel to Seguin on Saturday.  Countdown to District – 3 weeks!

The Clark Cougar volleyball team continued their winning ways in District 28-5A with a 3-0 thrashing of Jay, 25-18, 25-13, and a 28-6 beat down.  Katlin Mazzocco set up the Cougars with 18 assists, Vanessa Casanova served an ace and had 12 digs, Kacyi Murphy also served an ace, Jennifer Garrett took care of the net with 3 blocked shots and Claire Webster had 9 kills.  The win gives the Cougars a 17-16 record on the year and a 9-3 district mark.

The Clark Cougars, coming off a shutout of the Jay Mustangs last week, continued their defensive dominance and the offense poured on the points in a 31-0 pasting of the O’Connor Panthers.  Junior Jimmy Kueber started the Cougars off with a fumble recovery on the second play of the game and from there on out, it didn’t get any better for the Panthers.  Hayden Greenbauer ran for a 13 yd. TD to end the drive and put points on the board early for Clark.  Later in the 1st quarter, Tevin Glasgow would score on a rushing TD for his first of two TDs.

In the second quarter, O’Connor would have a chance to score.  On the Clark 1 yd. line, the Panthers were set to get their first six but a mishandled snap would be recovered by Robert Chapman, his first fumble recovery, in limited defensive play, of the season.  The quarter ended with a Webb Williams 33 yd. field goal, giving the Cougars a 17-0 lead at the half.

Scores by both the offense and defense helped give the Clark Cougar JV football team another victory, this time against the O’Connor Panthers. Brian Socha started the scoring, shredding the defense the length of the field before taking it in for a 4 yd. rushing TD.
On the defensive side of the ball, Chris Miller scooped up a Panther fumble and returned it for 52 yds. for a TD. Deandre Holmes added another rushing TD in the third quarter and Socha added a 61 yd. burst through the heart of the O’Connor defense for the final score in the 4th quarter. Tri-rice Van Buren must be mentioned for his acrobatic one handed reception that helped set up Holmes’ TD. The final for the 6-1 Cougars: 26-8. O’Connor’s lone touchdown came in the final 11 seconds of the game.
The sophomore team blanked the Panthers and remain undefeated. Their score was 26-0.
