The 28-5A All district softball team looks good for Clark Cougar fans.  Junior Megan Aragones, senior Rochelle Nash, freshman Liz Rodriguez and sophomore Henessey Soto all made the 1st team with Rodriguez and Soto voted in unanimously.  Junior Megan Martinez and sophomore Britney Ramos were named to the 2nd team.

The team made the playoffs for the third year in a row.  Congratulations, ladies.  Well done!

Clark Baseball

Two Clark Cougar baseball players have been selected to play in this year’s Jr./Sr. All Star game this coming Tuesday, June 22, 2010 at 7pm at the Blossom Athletic Center.  The game highlights area athletes who have achieved success on the field and gives them a chance to showcase their talents for college coaches and recruiters, as well as play against-and with-some of the best in the city.   The game format pits the Junior athletes vs. the Senior athletes.  Last year Carl O’Neal, Clark ’09, showcased his pitching at the game.

This year, Clark has 2 Varsity Players who were invited to play in the game; Braden Mattson (Catcher) and Hunter McFall (OF/IF).  They will be playing on the Junior team. This is quite an achievement for the players and gives them an opportunity to play with some of their regular season opponents, have a little fun, and hopefully have the Juniors come out on top (again) this year.

Both Braden & Hunter have tickets to sell for the game at the low price of $5 so please help to support area baseball as well as Clark baseball by purchasing your tickets from Braden & Hunter.  You can find out more information at jimscout.com.  Way to go Coogs!

Hunter McFall

Several of this year’s Clark Cougars made the All District list for 28-5A.  Clark baseball went 11-5 in district play and reached the playoffs after pundits predicted a middle of the road team at the beginning of the season.  Two seniors and four juniors received honors.  Congratulations to all!

Congratulations to our Cougar runners that took part in the 5A State Track meet at Mike Meyers Stadium in Austin on Saturday, May 15th.  Sam Perez shaved nearly 3 seconds off his previous best time over 800m to place 5th in 1:53.8!  Shaneve Swift faced some very fast competition in the 400m dash and was caught right at the finish line to place 8th in 57.35.

The Cougars, not predicted to fair well by local prognosticators, ended up with a good season and a 3rd place finish in District 28-5A to make it to the first round of the playoffs.

Great season seniors and good luck!
