Congratulations to Clark senior pitcher Chad Dullnig on Express-News recognition of his outstanding week of all around baseball during spring break with its “Player of the Week” designation. Read here.

(Note: Clark baseball fans will notice the newspaper wrongly identifies their photo as Dullnig – it’s actually another outstanding senior, Robert Martin)

The great play of Dullnig and the rest of the Clark team catapulted the Cougars back into the E-N Area baseball rankings at #8.

Way to go Coogs!!!

Clark baseball racked up four wins over spring break, outscoring their three district opponents 39-5 and beating Johnson 6-4  at the end of the week – just for fun. The highlight of the week was senior pitcher Chad Dullnig’s no-hitter against Stevens, which Clark won 10-0. Chase Jones ended the game with a three-run home run in the bottom of the 6th. Dullnig was also the winning pitcher in the Cougar’s 13-3 win over Jay to start the spring break run on March 9th and he had his own home run in the 16-2 victory over Warren. Cole Bercher was on the mound against the Warriors for that win. Pitcher John Henderson got the win in the game against Johnson.

Clark’s girls and boys soccer teams spent spring break scoring goals and improving their records. The girls are now in playoff position with a 4th place standing in district and two games remaining. The Cougars beat Warren 3-1 on March 9th and Stevens 8-0 on March 13th. Scoring goals were Chloe Trevino (3), Frances Moore (2), Monique Rempel (2), Lexi Platz, Alyssa Jacobs, Briana Aguirre and Andi Poore. Obviously a lot of great defense in those two games as well.

Jay has three game remaining and the Cougars have two. The boys beat Warren 3-0 over spring break and Stevens 7-0 behind goals from Jair Rodriguez (3), Carlos Sepulveda (3), Yamil Alvarado (2), John Cintron and John Bruce.
