Neal rips AH defense for another gain

While there were several bright spots, the Clark Cougar JV football team lost the first game of the season on Mike Robbins Field 19-21 to Alamo Heights.  The defense started the scoring as Kevin Neal intercepted an Alamo Heights pass and ran it in for a TD.  Neal also scored after a nice drive by the offense.  The final score came from a Troy Ogletree spiral to Brandon Yates.  Mistakes by both offense, defense, and special teams and Alamo Heights momentum and execution were the perfect storm for the first loss of the season.  The sophomore team, however, were persistent and won their game against the Mules.  Congratulations, guys!

#12 QB Josh Kern fights through Churchill defense

Following in the footsteps of the varsity, the Clark Cougar JV football team blanked the Churchill Chargers in a lightning shortened game 27-0.  A rushing TD with 3 minutes left in the 1st quarter started the scoring blitz.  In the 2nd quarter, Sophomore QB Josh Kern hit Junior WR Jeremy Harris over 50 yards down field for what would be a 72 yard TD, giving the Cougars a 14-0 lead. Deandre Holmes made it 21-0 later that quarter on a nice rushing TD.  In a game full of highlights for the Cougars, including an offensive line blowing the defense off the ball and some nice running by Sophomore Kevin Neal, it was the defense who would score next.  A fumble recovery by #56 Aaron Benjamin, who rumbled, bumbled and stumbled his way for a good 60 yards after shedding at least 3 tackles, would end the scoring and guarantee the win for the Cougars.  Lightning in the area caused the officials to end it early…(or it was the mercy rule?).  The Clark sophomore team also won, beating the Chargers 6-0.  Congratulations to both teams.
