Cougar Football ready to get started for 2009

Coming off the team’s most successful season with a 13-2 record and an appearance in the Texas 5A semifinals in 2008, Clark Cougar football and their fans are looking forward to a new season.  Coach Lloyd Alexander and his staff will kick off fall practice on August 3rd, preparing for the 2009 campaign.

The date is earlier than usual due to the fact that there was no spring football practice because of UIL concerns regarding the swine flu and its effect on the spring athletic season.  Teams that do not have spring drills are allowed to start earlier in the fall.

There is still one last chance to get in a football game this spring, however.  The annual PowderPuff game is May 21st at Clark High School.

Hernandez heads home

The Clark Cougar baseball team advanced to the second round of the playoffs with a 4-3 victory over South San.  Jason Cervantes gave the Cougars a 1-0 lead in the 1st inning with a double, sending Hunter McFall across the plate. South San then went ahead in the top of the 5th inning but in the bottom of the inning, Peter Rozanski hit a single to get the Cougars started. (continue reading…)

Playoff shutout by O'Neal

With no runs through the first five innings, the Cougars grabbed a 3-0 lead in the sixth and beat what the Express News called “the dark horse”, South San, in the first of a three game series.  Carl O’Neal pitched the shutout for Clark.  Game 2 is tomorrow at Northside.

The Clark Texas Football Club is accepting scholarship applications.  If interested, please see Coach Alexander as this week is the final deadline to turn in applications.  Want to know more about this organization?  Read about them here.
