South San then went ahead in the top of the 5th inning but in the bottom of the inning, Peter Rozanski hit a single to get the Cougars started. (continue reading…)

Playoff shutout by O'Neal

With no runs through the first five innings, the Cougars grabbed a 3-0 lead in the sixth and beat what the Express News called “the dark horse”, South San, in the first of a three game series.  Carl O’Neal pitched the shutout for Clark.  Game 2 is tomorrow at Northside.

Clark Cougar Varsity Baseball

The Clark varsity baseball team will take on South San in the first round of the playoffs. The best of three series begins Thursday, 7:30pm at South San. Game two will be on Friday, 7:30pm at Northside 2 and if necessary, game three will be Saturday, 7:00pm at Northside 2.

These two teams met twice during the regular season with each winning once.

Good luck, Coogs!

Waiting an extra week to finish the regular season didn’t hurt the Clark baseball team. The Cougars jumped on the Huskies in the first with two runs, added three more in the third off a Trey Doebbler home run by with two on and took the game against Holmes by a score of 8-2. Braden Mattson also homered in the sixth with one on.  After early predictions it would be a so-so season for the Cougars, Clark finishes in 2nd place in District 28-5A and heads into the Bi-District round of the playoffs  next week.

Nothing but heat

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.
