The Clark football team has launched an effort to both honor and aid O’Connor H.S. principal Larry Martin as he fights thyroid cancer. Mr. Martin is a former Clark coach and administrator. Football players are selling black and silver spirit ribbons for $2 each to raise money in support of Mr. Martin and his family during this difficult time.

The ribbons read: “Play Off Bound, Playing in Support of Larry Martin. Once a Cougar Always a Cougar”

The team is asking fans to help them show Mr. Martin and his family how much the Clark Cougars care about their own.

Mr. Martin was a coach at Clark many years ago and was Clark’s Vice Principal from 1997-1999 and the Clark Principal from 1999-2000. It was at that time that he was first diagnosed with thyroid cancer.

Buy your ribbon in support of Mr. Martin from any Clark football player.
