The Express News’ annual spring awards have been released and several Clark Cougars have been honored.  In soccer, senior Vinnie Guerrero was named to the Boys 5A Super Team and All-Area team.  Boy’s basketball District 27-5A MVP Adam Perez made the Super Team and All Area team as well. The Clark boys basketball team ended #3 in the Express News and the boys soccer team ended #6 in the rankings.

Joseph Jaime made the All Area team as a swimmer in the 200 Freestyle and represented Clark at the state meet.

All-District soccer teams were also released with several Cougars on the list:

Congrats to all these great student athletes!

Adam Perez - MVP

Clark senior point guard Adam Perez was named District 27-5A MVP for the 2011-12 basketball season. Perez led the Cougars to the Regional Finals, and was also named 1st Team All District. Senior center John Chapman was named to the All District 2nd Team.

As dominating as they were on the court the Cougars are even more so in the classroom. Perez and Chapman are joined by seniors Austin Conlin, Cal Harr, Carter Josephs and Troy Ogletree on the 1st Team All Academic Team for NISD and Jacob Huston was named to the 2nd Team All Academic.  That grand total of 7 outstanding student athletes outpaced all other NISD teams.

The Clark girls also received accolades for their work on the court and in the classroom. Junior Kristen Lye was named to the 1st Team All District squad and Junior Donna Matthews was named 2nd Team All District. The best news is clearly that both Lye and Matthews will return next year!

Clark also placed four senior girls on the NISD All Academic Teams. Sara Baum, Lyndsay Lyda and Ashley Salinas were named to the 1st Team and Hannah Garcia to the 2nd Team.

Another proud moment in Clark, Texas! Congratulations to everyone!

Season ends on the pitch

Heading into the Easter break, Clark teams had a good news/bad news kind of night.

The Clark softball team defeated Stevens 11-0 on the diamond, winning their fifth game in a row.  Across the street, Clark baseball also won 11-0 against Jay in 5 innings, the game called because of the whoopin’.

At Comalander stadium, however, the news was not so good for the boys soccer team, whose playoff run ended in the 2nd round against Reagan 0-3.

Congrats to the all the teams on great wins and a great season.

Clark soccer in the playoffs

The Clark boys soccer playoff run begins tonight against Corpus Christi Carroll at 7:30 at Farris.

Come out and support this talented team!

GO COOGS!!!

A loss by the Clark girls soccer team on Tuesday and wins by Taft and Marshall led to the Cougars missing  the playoffs by the narrowest of margins. Still tied for 3rd place heading into Tuesday’s games the Cougars either needed their own win or a loss by Taft or Marshall to make it to the postseason in one of  the 4 playoff spots. In the end 4th place Marshall got in with a 9-5-2 district record, Clark is 9-6-1. Taft took third place at 10-6-0.

Looking ahead: the Cougars lose 8 seniors but will return 17 players from this year’s squad next year, including top goal scorers – Freshman Chloe Trevino and Sophomore Blair Socha and a host of other top performers. Congratulations on a season well played!

The Clark boys, who locked up the postseason early, may have been guilty of looking ahead as they lost a 1-0 game to O’Connor. They enter the playoffs as the number two team in district 27-5A likely playing 28 5A third place team Corpus Christi Carroll next week.

GO COOGS!

The Clark girls soccer team took care of Holmes on Friday with a strong 6-0 victory. Five goals came in the first half of the contest with several players contributing. Scoring were: Lexi Platz with two goals and Blair Socha, Frances Moore, Monique Rempel and Chloe Trevino with one each. Socha, Rempel and Trevino also had assists in the game along with Bridget Sumner and Orlea Miller. The win holds the the Cougars’ spot tied for 3rd place in district with Marshall, both with 7-5-1 records. Taft is hot on their heels with a 7-6-0 record. Clark’s last game is against O’Connor on Tuesday at 7:00 at Farris. More….

All State Honors for Adam Perez

Senior basketball player Adam Perez has been named to the Texas Association of Basketball Coaches All State Team for 2011-12. As the starting point guard, Perez led Clark to the Regional Finals with his confident and composed play. He was the Cougar’s top scorer for the season averaging 17 points per game.

Congratulations Adam!!

Clark’s girls and boys soccer teams spent spring break scoring goals and improving their records. The girls are now in playoff position with a 4th place standing in district and two games remaining. The Cougars beat Warren 3-1 on March 9th and Stevens 8-0 on March 13th. Scoring goals were Chloe Trevino (3), Frances Moore (2), Monique Rempel (2), Lexi Platz, Alyssa Jacobs, Briana Aguirre and Andi Poore. Obviously a lot of great defense in those two games as well.

The Clark boys remain in second place in district, just a hair away from Jay, who handed them their only loss of the season. The Cougars are 11-1-2 in district and jay is 10-0-3. Jay has three game remaining and the Cougars have two. The boys beat Warren 3-0 over spring break and Stevens 7-0 behind goals from Jair Rodriguez (3), Carlos Sepulveda (3), Yamil Alvarado (2), John Cintron and John Bruce. And again great defensive work by these Cougars!

Next games for soccer will be on March 23rd at Northside when they take on Holmes. Girls at 5:00 and boys at 7:00.

Go COOGS!

Northside ISD boys soccer heavyweights Clark and Jay battled to a 0-0 tie on the pitch over the weekend. The defensive battle in gusty winds was in sharp contrast to the first match up between the two teams on January 31st, which Jay won in the closing seconds 4-3. Saturday’s game leaves the Mustangs in first place with a 9-0-2 record and Clark right behind them at 9-1-2.

The news was better for the Clark girls who beat Jay 2-0 with goals from Blair Socha and Kendall Traa. Action resumes for both teams on Friday with games against Warren at the Northside fields on Loop 410 and Culebra. Girls start at 5:00 and the boys at 7:00.
