The Warren Warriors are out and the Cougars are in as Clark defeated Warren 3-2 in a playoff game that advanced the winner to…the playoffs.  Congratulations, ladies!

The Clark Cougars Water Polo teams, boys and girls, traveled to Dallas to compete for a state championship.  The girls lost their first game to Alvin, 10-5 in their afternoon game.  The boys, however, won their first game.  They defeated Brazoswood 19-5 in the pool.  In the boys second game against Atascosita, they fell 9-4 to the Eagles from the Houston area.

After losing a game to Holmes on Thursday and a chance to take 4th place in district and a playoff spot, the Clark softball team gained a second chance following Warren’s loss to Brandeis later in the evening. Now Clark and Warren face off  Friday afternoon in a tiebreaker game to decide the final playoff team from 28-5A.

Support the Cougars at 5:00 at Northside field. GO COOGS!

Running for playoffs!

Clark Athletic Booster Club Winners

Several hundred Clark varsity athletes, coaches, parents and friends attended the Clark Athletic Booster Club annual All Sports Banquet.  Each athlete was recognized with the exception of the Water Polo team, who could not attend due to their presence being requested in Dallas where they are competing for a STATE title (Good Luck!).  The highlight of the evening was the awarding of scholarships by the booster club to college-bound seniors.  Each received a $1000 scholarship.  Also recognized was Booster club President Janet Whisenhunt for her efforts and Coach Kevin Hamilton, who retired from coaching after 24 years at Clark to accept a position in the district office.
