Brickman bigtime baller

Jason Brickman, a 2010 Clark varsity basketball alum, has had a good week.  As a freshman point guard for Long Island University, he hit two crucial free throws with seconds left in the game to send the Blackbirds to the Northeast Conference championship game.  The highlight was on ESPN’s SportsCenter.  Before that game, his coach compared him to John Stockton.

Jason Brickman

Clark guard Jason Brickman has been named to the Texas Association of Basketball Coaches 5A All State team for the 2009-2010 season. Brickman averaged just over 19 points a game for the Cougars this season. A senior,  Brickman has committed to play for Long Island University.

Elhad carries the Cougars to victory

Behind senior Elhad Emerllahu’s 37 points, the Clark Cougars blew out the East Central Hornets in the first round of the 2010 basketball playoffs 91-66.  Playing at St. Mary’s University on the court he might call his college home, Emerllahu had his way with an over-matched Hornet team.  Jason Brickman posted 25 and Ansley Benjamin added another 18.

The Cougars jumped ahead early but the Hornets shooters heated up and they took a 15-7 lead with three and a half minutes in the 1st quarter.  The Cougars put their own run together and tied the game 18-18 before East Central closed the quarter with a 3 point shot to make it 21-18 Hornets at the end of the 1st.

Clark regained its composure in the 2nd quarter, outscoring the Hornets 25-18 and went up 43-39 into halftime.  The second half was all Cougars as they scored the first 7 points on their way to a 21 point quarter, holding East Central to just 7 points in the 3rd.   With a 64-48 lead starting the 4th, the Cougars kept up the scoring and shut down the Hornet defense for the victory.

Next up for the Cougars, now Bi-District Champs is the Area game against Austin Bowie.   Clark vs. Austin Bowie will take place Friday or Saturday at a site to be determined.
