With “Go Cougars” being yelled by the opposing fans and signs for “Aristocats,” you can’t blame the Clark parents for being a little confused. However, the Clark Cougars took care of business beating the NB Canyon Cougars 28-6.

After a scoreless first quarter, Alex Ethridge (#24) started the scoring with a 2 yard power run at the goal line and then added a 20 yard sprint to the endzone. Ethridge appeared to have scored on a defensive take away. After the officials signaled touchdown, the NB Canyon coaches indicated he stepped out of bounds. The officials then reversed their call and awarded Clark the ball at the spot of the take away. Another possible defensive score was not awarded to Clark after the Canyon quarterback should’ve been called for intentional grounding in the end zone.

Clark was finally able to get a defensive score after Malcom Eatman (#41) stripped the ball from the quarterback and Aaron Rodriguez (#25) recovered the ball in the end zone.

Dusty Wright finished off the scoring with a 30 yard run, receiving excellent blocking from the offensive line.

Next up for the Sophs, a game with Steele on Thursday at 5 pm at Clark.
