Hunter McFall

Several of this year’s Clark Cougars made the All District list for 28-5A.  Clark baseball went 11-5 in district play and reached the playoffs after pundits predicted a middle of the road team at the beginning of the season.  Two seniors and four juniors received honors.  Congratulations to all!

The Clark boys soccer team scored one goal in the first half of their match with Brandeis and it turned out to be enough to win the game. Luis Hernandez found the back of the net for the goal and then defense, including six saves by goal keeper Brandon Van Wagner and two saves by Jonathan Fargnoli took care of the rest. The Cougars are 4-0-1 on the season so far and now 1-0 in district play.

The girls soccer team had to settle for the third tie of their young season, as they battled Brandeis to a 0-0 score. Clark has a 1-1-3 record this season. Read about the game in the Express News.

The Coogs  face Stevens on Tuesday the 19th at 7:00 at  Northside field #2. The boys play at 5:00.

Except for the 2nd inning, the Clark Cougars played valiantly but fell short to Austin Westlake 5-3 in a one game elimination Area playoff game.  The Cougars jumped on the Chaps in the first inning, scoring two runs.  The top of the 2nd inning the Chaparral bats came alive and they put 5 across the plate.  Undaunted, the Cougars came back, Jonathan Fargnoli popping out on a sacrifice fly to score another run, making it 5-3 after three innings.  The Cougar defense stiffened but three double plays by the Westlake defense down the stretch killed any chance of a Cougar rally.  For a team picked early in the season to finish in the middle of the pack, this Clark team showed what a little Cougar pride and hard work can accomplish.  Congratulations for a great season, thanks to the Seniors and look for a great season next year.  The Clark Cougar varsity team is coached by Aldo Velazquez.
