Nothing but heat

Earlier this week, Carl O’Neal was named Express News Player of the Week.  After the Clark Cougars took on #6 Stevens, they’ll be calling him The Fireman.  Nothing but heat crossed the plate as O’Neal torched the Falcons for a shutout and the rest of the team hit like h-e-double-toothpicks, lighting them up for ten runs.  The final: 10-0 Clark over Stevens.  The win gives Clark a solid number two position in district, smokin’ their way towards the playoffs.  In the past four Clark wins, they’ve outscored their opponents 45-4.  THAT’S HOT!  Congrats!

Congratulations to Hunter Gathright, Sean Suputra, Alejandro Flores, Travis Gaiser, and Andrew Gold for their effort in the Joe Balander Memorial Golf Tournament against a tough field.  Hunter Gathright won the top individual title.

The April 23rd varsity baseball game against Taft has been moved to 4:00pm.  Why? you ask.  We’re not sure.  By the way, don’t forget the sports banquet honoring Clark athletes.  It’s April 23rd.  (Thanks, coaches, district, etc…)

The Clark varsity softball team beat Stevens 3-0 at Northside field. Henessey Soto pitched a 3-hit shut out to take the win. The Cougars are in the thick of the race for a playoff spot.

Carl O'Neil Player of the Week

Congratulations to Clark varsity baseball player Carl O’Neal, who was named the Express News Player of the Week.  In his complete game against Holmes, O’Neal stuck out 17 batters, and gave the Cougars a 7-1 victory.  The Cougars are currently 2nd in district play with a key game against Stevens on Friday.

Clark JV beat Stevens 7-4. Kim (Stryker) Regino took control on the mound, walking only 2 batters. There was also some great defense by Clark; Jessika Magaro and Hannah Garcia caught tough fly balls. Emily Barrera had an RBI, Courtney Johnson hit a stand up double with  a RBI, Jessika Magaro had a stand up double/RBI and caught a deep fly ball to left field. Way to go ladies.

Vincent Salazar pitched and got the win, Tyler Reinagel and Ryan Skowronski came in for relief and the Cougars rolled to a 18-3 victory over Brandeis.  Joseph Ybarra hit two homeruns to contribute to the victory.  An important district game is up next with Stevens.

O'Neal slides to win

Carl O’Neal pitched a near perfect complete game and got the win with a 7-1 victory over the Huskies and a little help from hot bats and good defensive plays from his teammates.  Next game is against Brandeis.
