Jeff Schorr and Joe Vasquez

Senior Joe Vasquez was this year’s winner of the annual Clark Texas Football Club scholarship.  President Jeff Schorr announced the award at a team meeting.  The scholarship is given out every year to a senior headed for college by the club, which is made up of former Clark Cougar football players.

The scholarship is now named in honor of retiring head coach Lloyd Alexander.  This year’s award was for $3000 and the funds are raised by the Clark Texas Football Club through their annual golf tournament and other activities.

Coaches McGhee, Alexander and Robbins

Former students, players, parents, coaches and friends gathered together for a night of memories and thanks to honor Athletic Coordinator and Head Coach Lloyd Alexander at a casual retirement party organized by the Clark Athletic Booster Club.

Several former players, including the Clark Texas Football Club, were able to give thanks and share memories of the coach who began his career at Clark the first day the doors opened.

Dressed in a Hawaiian shirt, Coach A thanked those in attendance and spoke briefly to the crowd about his appreciation for the Clark community and especially the expectation by Clark athletes and fans to win, which, he said, made his job easier.

The highlight of the evening was an announcement by Jeff Schorr, the Clark Texas Football Club founder, that their annual scholarship (this year – $3000) would from here on out be named the Lloyd Alexander scholarship.  This year’s recepient will be named in a few days.

The Clark Texas Football Club is an organization of former Clark coaches and players.
