Tammaro wins again

TASCO (Texas Association of Soccer Coaches) released their All State/Region teams and two Clark Cougars made the list for Region IV.  Congratulations to freshman Gabrielle Santorio, who lead the team in goals as a forward this  year and senior Brianna Tammaro, who will continue her soccer career here in San Antonio at Trinity University next season. Nice job, ladies.

Clark Athletic Booster Club Winners

Several hundred Clark varsity athletes, coaches, parents and friends attended the Clark Athletic Booster Club annual All Sports Banquet.  Each athlete was recognized with the exception of the Water Polo team, who could not attend due to their presence being requested in Dallas where they are competing for a STATE title (Good Luck!).  The highlight of the evening was the awarding of scholarships by the booster club to college-bound seniors.  Each received a $1000 scholarship.  Also recognized was Booster club President Janet Whisenhunt for her efforts and Coach Kevin Hamilton, who retired from coaching after 24 years at Clark to accept a position in the district office.

S. Wise, B. Tammaro, S. Klenke and proud parents

Three seniors of the 2009 Clark Cougars ladies soccer team showed up for National Signing Day to announce their college plans.  Forward Sarah Klenke signed a National Letter of Intent to play for Louisiana Tech.  The senior is still undecided on her studies but is leaning towards a degree in Biology.  The daughter of Kevin and Michelle Klenke, Sarah is 1st team All-District player for the past two years and plays for the Lions FC.

Brianna Tammaro, a multi-sport varsity player at Clark, will continue playing soccer at Trinity University.  Her awards include playing for the Texas Olympic Development Program team, TASCO All Region, All City, and 1st team All-District for the past two years.  Her club team is the Classics Elite.  Brianna plans to major in communications and is the daughter of Joe and Debbie Tammaro.

Senior Shelby Wise also will be playing after graduation at Ripon College in Wisconsin.  The National Honor Society member is a defender who also plays for the Lions FC.  She plans to major in Business and is the daughter of Larry and Kristina Wise.

The Clark Cougars ladies soccer team is led by Coach Walter Rule.  Congratulations to these fine student-athletes and good luck.

Tammaro scores on PK

Needing a win to keep up in the district race, the Lady Cougars varsity soccer team beat Warren 1-0 at Northside.  The game, which saw several yellow cards and rowdy play by both teams, came down to a successful penalty kick by senior Brianna Tammaro midway through the second half.  Amy Ross once again delivered the shutout, her fifth in a row.

#23 Tammaro plays heads up ball

The Clark Men’s varsity basketball team maintained a #4 ranking in this week’s Express News rankings but fell out of the top twenty state rankings for the first time this year.  Their 24-5/10-2 district record has them in 2nd place in the district behind #3 Express News/#11 in the state Stevens.  In soccer, the men’s varsity also stayed at #9 in the Express News men’s soccer rankings.  Currently 3rd, a win vs. Warren would put them in 1st in a tight district race.  Finally, congratulations to senior Brianna Tammaro for her “game ball” mention in the Express News for her outstanding defense over the past four games.  The Lady Cougars soccer team is also in a tight district race, currently 3rd, and has not allowed a goal in the past four games.
