In the last thirty years of Clark football, since 1981, the Cougars have only missed the playoffs for two consecutive years once – 1999 and 2000. Unfortunately, history may repeat itself as Clark lost to the O’Connor Panthers 31-8 in a season-ending shocker. The Cougars must now hope for a Taft victory over Stevens to claim the final playoff position.

To the players and especially the seniors, thanks for your hard work and dedication to Clark.  You’ve given us some great memories and you’ll certainly be missed.  We’re very proud of you.  Although it may not feel like it now, don’t ever forget; “…it’s a good day to be a Clark Cougar…”

2011 JV team members

The JV girls team of Emily Stewart, Emilia Jansse, Madi Claus, Emily Johnson , and Kaylee Johnson competed in their very first tournament of the season on October 31st.  This tournament was a novice 9 hole tournament with the first two hours of the day devoted to instruction by PGA certified golf pro’s.  The girls were able to work on all aspects of their game, from drives to putting, and then take advantage of their practice on the course.  Our girls, many of whom are first year golfers, were able to take what they learned and place 4th.  Way to go team.  We are very proud of your amazing start!

Additionally, the varsity boys are psyched and ready for this weekend!  The team of JT Caldarola, Trevor Colen, Tyler Bercher, Jeremy Gordon, and Jordan Gregory will be participating in the NEISD Texas Shootout.  This two-day tournament at Pecan Valley starts Friday morning at 9:44 a.m. with Clark teeing off at the first hole.  The boys play 18 holes on Friday and then are back on the course Saturday morning for another 18 holes.  If you are in the Pecan Valley area, stop by and cheer the boys on!!

Go Cougars!
