CLARK, TEXAS FOOTBALL CLUB RAISES SCHOLLY FUNDS

Golf Tournament Recap: “I know I am getting better at golf because I am hitting fewer spectators.”

–Gerald Ford

Despite the looming clouds, the golf gods smiled once again upon us for the Annual Clark, Texas Golf Outing last Saturday.  As we made our way around the track, the play matched the course: sloppy.  But it didn’t stop anyone from having a great time, even a golf ball to Pat Farrell’s noggin neither dented his head nor the merriment.  The Jeff Sandera 4some took top honors though it went to the 5th tiebreaker hole to edge out the Andy Padron Family 4.  Luke Healy drove the ball the furthest and Kelly Read landed it closest to the pin.  Jeff Schorr, Kyle Cracknell, Steve Lorenz & Richard Eatherly brought up the bottom rung.  It was Schorr’s 3rd trip in a row to Last Place (I may need to get better playing partners).

I do want to thank all of the participants, especially the Class of ’81 who always show up in force, and to the sponsors who make the Scholarship Program a reality, particularly guys like George Gaiser, Mitch Finnie, Dave Green, Mark Cecconi and Milton Barrett who always tip the till a little heavier each year.

Believe or not Football is right around the corner: So I encourage you to come out and support your local Cougars this fall.  I will remind you come August.

Things get serious after Spring Break for our athletes in Track and Field, Tennis and Golf and today’s San Antonio Express News made a list of area athletes to keep an eye on in those sports. Two Clark seniors made the list:

* Austin Wells – long distance runner headed to Texas A&M in the fall. Wells is expected to outpace all area 5A runners in the 3200. The E-N list.

*David Starck – singles tennis, is the defending 27-5A champion and also placed 3rd at the Regional tourney in 2012. The E-N list.

Best of luck to these and all their teammates from Clark!

SOCCER TEAMS POST WINS OVER JAY

by on Mar.15, 2013, under Soccer

Two great victories for Clark soccer on Tuesday as the girls and boys teams rebounded from losses late last week.

The girls poured on the goals in a 9-0 win over Jay. Chloe Trevino and Hannah Jacobs had two goals a piece, while Alyssa Jacobs, Frances Moore, Jordan Leonard, Kendall Traa and Kallie Doherty each posted one goal.  The Cougars are 8-5-0 in district 27-5A and in sole possession of  4th place with three games remaining. One of those games is today against Marshall. A victory by Marshall would create a tie for the 4th and last playoff position. Clark beat Marshall 2-1 in their first meeting this season. The game starts at 5:00 at Northside field 1.

On the boys side:

Clark toppled Jay at Gus Stadium, winning 3-0 on a beautiful afternoon. The first goal came 20 minutes in from a penalty kick by Clark senior Manolo Garcia (#1) and Clark held Jay 1-0 til the half. At the 55th minute, #16, sophomore Matt Jacobs put the ball in the net from 40 yards out, bringing the spectators to their feet. In the last few minutes, #6, senior Jaron Pineda moved onside from an offside position and then beat his opponent to the ball. He then passed the ball to #17, senior Chemo Elizondo, for the third Clark goal of the game. The officials awarded one yellow card on Jay and one yellow card each to Cougars junior John Cintron (#3), and junior Angus Moir (#4). Each of the Clark men played hard and it was good to see #10, freshman Jake Peterson, back on the pitch. 
Awesome win for the Cougars! The results put Clark in second place, with Brandeis holding the #1 position in the district. They play next on Friday against Marshall. The game will be at 7 pm, Northside field #1

GO COOGS!!!

CLARK WHIPS WARREN – TWICE

by on Feb.20, 2013, under Soccer

It was a good night for Cougar soccer on Tuesday with the boys and girls teams both posting wins. The Clark girls got off to a strong start in their 3-1 victory scoring all three goals in the opening half. Scoring for the Cougars were Alyssa Jacobs, Chloe Trevino and Lexi Platz. Platz also had a assist along with Erica Rempel and Bridgett Sumner.  The win brings their district record to 5-3-0 and 9-6-2 for the season. They’re in 4th place in district, with the second half of district play about to begin.

Next up is 3rd place O’Connor on Friday at 5:00pm at Northside #1.

In the boys game:

Clark shut out the Warriors despite Warren’s strong passing game. Clark’s first goal came early in the first half when Jaron Bustillo-Pineda (#6) put the ball in the goal with an assist from Gus Moir (#4). The team held Warren at 1-0 until the last few minutes of the game, when Fernando Maya (#7) scored. Prior to Tuesday’s game, Clark was fifth in the district standings but moved up to second place with the win. Way to go, Clark!
The next game, Clark v O’Connor, is Friday, 7 pm, at Northside, #1.
