All Area/District teams announced

Congratulations to senior Clark Cougars Sam Perez and Shaneve Swift and junior Braden Mattson.  The track (Perez and Swift) and baseball (Mattson) athletes were recognized for their success in the Express News spring awards.  Sam and Sheneve made the All Area track and field teams and Braden was named to the All Area team as a catcher.

Congratulations, Cougars!  You make us proud.

The 28-5A All district softball team looks good for Clark Cougar fans.  Junior Megan Aragones, senior Rochelle Nash, freshman Liz Rodriguez and sophomore Henessey Soto all made the 1st team with Rodriguez and Soto voted in unanimously.  Junior Megan Martinez and sophomore Britney Ramos were named to the 2nd team.

The team made the playoffs for the third year in a row.  Congratulations, ladies.  Well done!

If you are interested in playing for one of the most successful programs in the area, a mandatory meeting has been scheduled for Clark Tennis tryouts.  The meeting will be held July 29th with on court tryouts beginning August 2nd.  For more information, download this form.

Clark Baseball

Two Clark Cougar baseball players have been selected to play in this year’s Jr./Sr. All Star game this coming Tuesday, June 22, 2010 at 7pm at the Blossom Athletic Center.  The game highlights area athletes who have achieved success on the field and gives them a chance to showcase their talents for college coaches and recruiters, as well as play against-and with-some of the best in the city.   The game format pits the Junior athletes vs. the Senior athletes.  Last year Carl O’Neal, Clark ’09, showcased his pitching at the game.

This year, Clark has 2 Varsity Players who were invited to play in the game; Braden Mattson (Catcher) and Hunter McFall (OF/IF).  They will be playing on the Junior team. This is quite an achievement for the players and gives them an opportunity to play with some of their regular season opponents, have a little fun, and hopefully have the Juniors come out on top (again) this year.

Both Braden & Hunter have tickets to sell for the game at the low price of $5 so please help to support area baseball as well as Clark baseball by purchasing your tickets from Braden & Hunter.  You can find out more information at jimscout.com.  Way to go Coogs!

Williams receives congratulations

With a couple of hundred people looking on and with field goals of 53, 53, 49, 47 and 42 yds., Clark Cougar kicker Webb Williams was named co-champion of the 2010 Texas A&M Kicking Camp in the Field Goal competition.  Over 100 kickers from around the state and nation attended the camp, including several college prospects who competed in punting, kickoff, and long snapping contests.  Williams made the finals by making FGs of 42 and 47 yds. in the preliminary round, going to the finals on Kyle Field with approximately 17 others.

It was a good weekend for the senior kicker who plans to attend Texas A&M and who was also named to Dave Campbell’s Texas Football pre-season All State team in the annual release of the football guru’s magazine.

Congratulations!
