#21 Kweku Larbie runs for more

The Clark Cougar JV football team made lambs out of the Rams in football action.  Playing before fans at Farris Stadium, it started slow for the Cougars as they went three and out in their first possession.  The Rams then took over and drove to the Cougar 18 before the defense made a stand and stopped the Rams on downs.  It would be the Rams best last effort as the rest of the evening was all Cougars.  #46 Kenneth Harvey recovered a Marshall fumble with less than three minutes left in the 1st half.  A 19 yd Troy Ogletree pass to #83 Stephen Cram, followed by a 10 yd run by #40 Brian Socha set up the Cougars for a touchdown by Socha from 2 yds. just before the half .

In the third quarter, the Cougars would add six more with a 2 yd. rushing TD by #21 Kweku Larbie.  #41 Chris Miller also had a 41 yd. punt return in the 3rd to give the Cougars great field position.  #23 Deandre Holmes would score once more for Clark on a 25 yd. burst around the left side for the final TD, giving the Cougars the victory and a 4-1 record and a undefeated district record.  The final: Clark JV 18 – Marshall JV 0.

At Mike Robbins Field, the sophomores took on Southwest and dominated them, winning 26-6.  Congratulations, COOGS!

Yates TD catch, Cougars win

The Clark Cougar JV football team beat the Stevens Falcons 22-16 in a close game.  Deandre Holmes started the scoring for the Cougars, with a dive into the end zone in the 1st quarter.  Brandon Yates also scored on a nice reception from Sean Campbell and Howlett Cohick added six with a run down the sideline in front of the Stevens bench.  Stevens made a late drive in the final 2 minutes of the game but a diving interception by Evan Meyer (or the other 45?) killed the Falcon comeback and secured the victory for the Cougars.  The Cougar defense also tacked on a safety during the game.

The Sophomore team did not play, due to the fact that Stevens allegedly did not have enough players to field a team.  What looked like 100 players suited out for the Falcons JV game.
