As dominating as they were on the court the Cougars are even more so in the classroom. Perez and Chapman are joined by seniors Austin Conlin, Cal Harr, Carter Josephs and Troy Ogletree on the 1st Team All Academic Team for NISD and Jacob Huston was named to the 2nd Team All Academic.  That grand total of 7 outstanding student athletes outpaced all other NISD teams.

The Clark girls also received accolades for their work on the court and in the classroom. Junior Kristen Lye was named to the 1st Team All District squad and Junior Donna Matthews was named 2nd Team All District. The best news is clearly that both Lye and Matthews will return next year!

Clark also placed four senior girls on the NISD All Academic Teams. Sara Baum, Lyndsay Lyda and Ashley Salinas were named to the 1st Team and Hannah Garcia to the 2nd Team.

Another proud moment in Clark, Texas! Congratulations to everyone!

Season ends on the pitch

Heading into the Easter break, Clark teams had a good news/bad news kind of night.

The Clark softball team defeated Stevens 11-0 on the diamond, winning their fifth game in a row.  Across the street, Clark baseball also won 11-0 against Jay in 5 innings, the game called because of the whoopin’.

At Comalander stadium, however, the news was not so good for the boys soccer team, whose playoff run ended in the 2nd round against Reagan 0-3.

Congrats to the all the teams on great wins and a great season.

Clark ready for another showdown with Marshall

It may have been a little too close for comfort on Friday, but Clark baseball came through with a 5-3 win over Marshall. Robert Martin was on the mound for the Cougars and the game was scoreless for the first two innings, but by the third inning, the game was tied 3-3.  That score lasted thru the 6th inning. It was looking like another extra inning situation- the last time Clark played Marshall, the game went into 5 extra innings. However, in the 7th inning with Chad Dullnig and Devin Haley on base, Chase Jones came in and hit a triple scoring Chad and Devin.  John Henderson then came in and pitched the last inning for Clark and held Marshall for the win!

Way to go COOGS!!

Next up is Brandeis on Tuesday at 4:45.

The honors just keep coming for former Clark pitcher Carl O’Neal, now at St Mary’s University. Carl is 8-0 on the season and has received both National and Conference Player of the Week recognition. Read more here.

Congratulations Carl!
