Congratulations to Clark senior pitcher Chad Dullnig on Express-News recognition of his outstanding week of all around baseball during spring break with its “Player of the Week” designation. Read here.

(Note: Clark baseball fans will notice the newspaper wrongly identifies their photo as Dullnig – it’s actually another outstanding senior, Robert Martin)
