The Clark JV boy’s soccer team racked up the goals on its way to a 5-1 victory over Warren. Forward Bruno DiPetta led the scoring pack with a 3 goal hat trick. Carlos Sepulveda and Rodrigo Soto added one goal each.  The Cougars have two games remaining and are in first place in District 28-5A.

Carl Gustafson, head football coach at Churchill and a former assistant coach at Clark, is making a move to the administrative side. Gustafson was named NEISD’s interim assistant director for athletics. He has been head coach and athletic coordinator at Churchill for 10 years. His replacement may be named by April. Gustafson was a football assistant under coach Mike Robbins at Clark during the 1990’s.

In the second game Clark beat Churchill 7-5 with Vincent Salazar and Ryan Skowronski on the mound.  Against South San, the Cougars lost 7-4.  Jimmy Wells, Trey Doebbler and Braden Mattson hit for the Cougars. In the last game to decide the third place finisher Clark defeated #3 ranked MacArthur 7-6. Pitcher Jason Cervantes got the win for the Cougars.

Chelsea Miller has record breaking year

Clark swimmer Chelsea Miller shattered 22 year old school records this year in three events — the 100 breaststroke, the 200 breaststroke and the 200 IM. The records had stood since 1986-87. Miller was the lone Northside ISD representative this year at the 5A State Swim Meet in Austin finishing 8th in the 100 breaststroke and 11th in the 200 IM. Miller now holds  four Clark swim records. She is a junior.

Greg Castro cheered by teammates

The annual Lift-A-Thon, sponsored by the Clark Texas Football Club, was another huge success. The event played to a packed house of enthusiastic Cougar supporters.  The Lift-A-Thon, backed by individual and business sponsors, is the only fundraiser for Clark Cougar football and provides a good look at the strength of next season’s defending Regional Champions.  Several players exceeded their personal best records with  Juniors Greg Castro and Robert Chapman leading the way. Clark’s Top Cats dance team provided entertainment.
