The Clark men’s team (ranked #5 by the SA Express News) played a tight game against Marshall resulting in a 0-0 game. Both teams concentrated on defensive play. Clark’s keeper, Preston Campbell, made numerous good saves while the defensive line continually cleared the ball. While the score doesn’t reflect it, the game intensified in the last few minutes while each team attempted to score before time ran out. Marshall’s starting line up was comprised primarily of seniors; Clark’s, mostly comprised of juniors and sophomores, making the end result an achievement all by itself.

Despite a strong performance on the field, Clark lost 2-1 against Boerne Champion in non- district play. Boerne scored 2 goals in the first half, one being a penalty kick. Clark held them in the second half and put one in the net off of a corner. This goal was a team effort as the ball was put in play and then passed several times before #18, Chris Pantaleon put it in the net. After this, Clark picked up the pace and had several close shots on goal but the Boerne Champion keeper managed to snag every ball. Better luck next time, Cougars!

Lexi Platz

The Clark girls soccer team struck early and often on Friday keeping the Stevens goalkeeper busy with 22 saves. There were also plenty of Cougar shots in the back of the net as Clark dominated in a 5-0 victory. Monique Rempel had two goals and Alyssa Jacobs, Lexi Platz and Andrea Del Valle came away with one each. Adding assists were Frances Moore, Kendall Traa, Kallie Doherty and Caroline Veltman. The defense secured the shutout as Kendall Kotara and Katie Troilo split time in goal.

The win evens Clark’s district record at 1-1 and brings them to 5-4-2 for the season so far.

Following the girls’ victory the boys team had a shut out of their own beating Steven 2-0. Jaron Bustillo-Pineda scored both goals for the Cougars and Manuel Garcia assisted both times. Clark is still undefeated at 1-0-1 in district play and 6-0-2 for the season.

Up next both teams face Taft on Tuesday at Farris. The boys start things off at 5:00 and the girls play at 7:00.

Pineda fights for a goal

The #3 Clark Cougars boys varsity soccer team took on #6 O’Connor in a great match in District 27-5A play.  Clark was the aggressor in the first half and that style of play gave them a 1-0 lead with a little over 22 minutes played.  Jaron Pineda scored on the Panthers from 3 yards out.  The second half, however, was a different story as O’Connor had faster feet and were the ones attacking.  Clark held off until late in the game as the Panthers scored with 4 minutes left to end the game in a tie.

In the girls game that followed, Clark played strong but ended up losing 1-0.

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.
