2011 JV team members

The JV girls team of Emily Stewart, Emilia Jansse, Madi Claus, Emily Johnson , and Kaylee Johnson competed in their very first tournament of the season on October 31st.  This tournament was a novice 9 hole tournament with the first two hours of the day devoted to instruction by PGA certified golf pro’s.  The girls were able to work on all aspects of their game, from drives to putting, and then take advantage of their practice on the course.  Our girls, many of whom are first year golfers, were able to take what they learned and place 4th.  Way to go team.  We are very proud of your amazing start!

Additionally, the varsity boys are psyched and ready for this weekend!  The team of JT Caldarola, Trevor Colen, Tyler Bercher, Jeremy Gordon, and Jordan Gregory will be participating in the NEISD Texas Shootout.  This two-day tournament at Pecan Valley starts Friday morning at 9:44 a.m. with Clark teeing off at the first hole.  The boys play 18 holes on Friday and then are back on the course Saturday morning for another 18 holes.  If you are in the Pecan Valley area, stop by and cheer the boys on!!

Go Cougars!

The Clark Cougar varsity boys golf team started the season with a solid performance, tying for 4th place at the O’Connor Icebreaker Tournament. Over 18 teams were represented in this first tournament of the season and only 4 shots separated the top 6 teams.

Clark represented District 27-5A well, placing ahead of Warren, Taft, Brandeis, Marshall and Brennan. The team they will chase all season looks to be O’Connor who also placed 4th.  Clark’s own, Trevor Colen, was one of the top 10 overall best scores, with a score of 80. Great job Trevor!!
