Wise takes control

In a fierce district matchup, the Lady Cougar varsity soccer team took on the Marshall Rams.  With at least two yellow cards in the match, both teams fought for the win.  The Clark offense was on the attack in the first half but in the second half the tables were turned and it was the defense who kept the Rams out of the goal.  The result was a frustrating 0-0 tie.
