Yates TD catch, Cougars win

The Clark Cougar JV football team beat the Stevens Falcons 22-16 in a close game.  Deandre Holmes started the scoring for the Cougars, with a dive into the end zone in the 1st quarter.  Brandon Yates also scored on a nice reception from Sean Campbell and Howlett Cohick added six with a run down the sideline in front of the Stevens bench.  Stevens made a late drive in the final 2 minutes of the game but a diving interception by Evan Meyer (or the other 45?) killed the Falcon comeback and secured the victory for the Cougars.  The Cougar defense also tacked on a safety during the game.

The Sophomore team did not play, due to the fact that Stevens allegedly did not have enough players to field a team.  What looked like 100 players suited out for the Falcons JV game.
