A loss by the Clark girls soccer team on Tuesday and wins by Taft and Marshall led to the Cougars missing  the playoffs by the narrowest of margins. Still tied for 3rd place heading into Tuesday’s games the Cougars either needed their own win or a loss by Taft or Marshall to make it to the postseason in one of  the 4 playoff spots. In the end 4th place Marshall got in with a 9-5-2 district record, Clark is 9-6-1. Taft took third place at 10-6-0.

Looking ahead: the Cougars lose 8 seniors but will return 17 players from this year’s squad next year, including top goal scorers – Freshman Chloe Trevino and Sophomore Blair Socha and a host of other top performers. Congratulations on a season well played!

The Clark boys, who locked up the postseason early, may have been guilty of looking ahead as they lost a 1-0 game to O’Connor. They enter the playoffs as the number two team in district 27-5A likely playing 28 5A third place team Corpus Christi Carroll next week.

GO COOGS!
