After a close first half, the Coogs lost to crosstown rival Churchill Chargers 35-14. Clark had two first half TDs, the first from junior QB Chris Rollins the second from senior QB Trenton Ford. Both extra points were kicked by senior Tristan Cavazos. Clark debuted a strong passing game, passing for a total of 139 yards to Dusuau, Dudney, Young, Enderlin, Bloom, and Miller.

If you can’t make it to the game in person, watch it on CW35, channel 7 on Time Warner Cable, tomorrow night at 7:00pm.

There is a summary of Clark’s football prospects in today’s Express News in the communities section. Read it here:

Football and track coach Bobby Allen has been chosen to be an extra in the film “My All American,” which is being shot largely here in San Antonio. The film is about the too short life of Freddie Steinmark, who was diagnosed with bone cancer six days after helping the Texas Longhorns beat the Arkansas Razorbacks in 1969 when the two teams were ranked number one and number two respectively.  Coach Allen will play an Arkansas coach in the picture.

Branden Valle will be heading to Amarillo to play football for Wayland Baptist

University! Congratulations, Branden!

As they say, Cougar fans, all good things must come to an end, and that, unfortunately, applies to the Cougars’ football season. For those of you at the game, you may have noticed the team did not enter the field in their usual fashion – instead, they were joined by the newest member of their team, senior Justin Jewell. Justin suffers from Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD), a crippling disease that has left Justin wheelchair dependent. As a Clark student, Justin is a HUGE fan of Cougar Athletics, and joined the team in the locker room before the game. Justin, with the assistance of seniors Trenton Ford and Zach Wood, led the team through the Cougar banner, out to face the Knights from Steele, the second ranked 5A team in the Area. Inspired by Justin, the Cougars came out playing arguably their best football of the season, forcing the powerful offense of Steele to convert a fourth down on their first possession, but eventually giving up the touchdown. The Coug’s offense came charging back, finding the end zone on their first possession, and it looked like we were in for a battle. Unfortunately, it wasn’t meant to be, as those would be the only points the Cougars would manage against the Steele defense. The Knights’ offense showed why they are the second ranked team in the Area, and after the dust settled, the Cougs found themselves on the wrong side of a lopsided 52-6 final score. The Cougars provided their fans with some exciting football and great wins this year, and for that – we are proud of them, and congratulate them on a terrific season. Go Cougs!!

Our mighty Cougars took on the Warren Warriors last Friday at Gustafson stadium. The first quarter saw Warren score 2 touchdowns, but the Cougars were able to score 2 touchdowns in the 2nd quarter. Warren answered with 2 touchdowns and a field goal. Third quarter Clark and Warren each scored 2 touchdowns and the last quarter, Warren scored 2 more times to Clark’s one touchdown. Final score: Clark 35, Warren 55. Come cheer the Cougars at the first playoff game, as they take on Steele Knights at Commalander Stadium, Thursday, November 14th at 7:00pm.

Your Clark Cougars hosted the Huskies from Holmes high school on another perfect night for Texas high school football last Friday. Clark’s offense was clicking early, getting on the board twice in the first quarter on runs of 55 and 18 yards by Branden Valle. The defense brought their “A” game again in the first half, surrendering only a touchdown at the very end of the half. Sophomore Chris Rollins added to Clark’s lead in the third quarter when he scrambled 12 yards into the end zone for his first touchdown of the season. Touchdowns by Trenton Ford (6-yard run) and R’Mani Bettis (25-yard pass from Ford) rounded out the scoring for the Cougs in the fourth quarter. Nick Gonsalves was perfect on PAT’s for the night. The defense played a strong second half, giving up one touchdown on a perfectly executed hook and ladder by the Huskies, and a meaningless touchdown in the closing seconds of the game. The final score was 35-20, giving the Cougars a 5-2 district record, 5-4 overall. The final regular season game will take place this Friday when Clark visits Warriors from Warren at Gus stadium.
