Clark Cougar now top dog

Congratulations to Clark principal Stan Laing who has been named as the new Executive Athletic Director at Northside ISD.  Laing, who previously coached and taught for 16 years before crossing into administrative positions, fits the trend of coaches turned principals turned district athletic directors at NISD.  Laing will join former Clark coaches Kirby Jamison and Kevin Hamilton at the district office.  No word on who will be the new principal at Clark.

Congratulations and you will be missed! (But at least you’re not that far away…)

The Northside ISD, according to their agenda for Tuesday’s school board meeting, will meet and approve the newest district athletic director.  The board is to meet in executive session to discuss the position and then will meet in open session to most likely approve the next Executive Athletic Director.

Two district staff members, Kirby Jamison and Kevin Hamilton, were coaches at Clark High School before accepting positions at the district office.

This Saturday, the Clark Cougar cheerleaders will host a morning clinic for interested young ladies.  Cheerleaders will teach chants and cheers and Pinnacle Professional coaches will be on hand to lead in tumbling.  The cost is $20 and includes the clinic, a picture with the cheerleaders and lunch.  For more information, please contact Kelly Young at 210.397.5273.

District Track Meet, Gus Stadium, April 15-16:  Day 1 Results.  Rain forced some adjustments to the schedule and JV meet will not take place until next Wednesday.  Clark Varsity qualified many for Friday’s finals, which have been moved up to 1pm.  Field events delayed one day – will start at 9am on Friday.  Our first two  moving on to regionals in early May are David Scorceletti and Glynnis Meade in the 3200m, both setting personal records.  Full results after tomorrow.  Go Cougars!

In a report by rgvsports.com, it appears that three of Mission Sharyland’s starters will not be playing much in the regional game between Clark and the Rattlers on Friday at 4:30pm at Blossom.

Apparently, the three are committed to playing for their club team, an affiliate of the Houston Dyanamo professional soccer team, in a Dallas area game at 1:30pm and may not be back in time to play for their high school team or at best not be available until the second half.

Tickets on sale soon!
