Clark Athletic Booster Club Winners

Several hundred Clark varsity athletes, coaches, parents and friends attended the Clark Athletic Booster Club annual All Sports Banquet.  Each athlete was recognized with the exception of the Water Polo team, who could not attend due to their presence being requested in Dallas where they are competing for a STATE title (Good Luck!).  The highlight of the evening was the awarding of scholarships by the booster club to college-bound seniors.  Each received a $1000 scholarship.  Also recognized was Booster club President Janet Whisenhunt for her efforts and Coach Kevin Hamilton, who retired from coaching after 24 years at Clark to accept a position in the district office.
