Clark tennis decisively rolled over two opponents today on its way to the District finals. The Coogs beat Brennan 10-0 and then Marshall 10-2 on a steamy day at ATC. Tomorrow’s finals will be held at NTC and will be against Health Careers.

Go Cougars!

Clark volleyball is hanging tough in second place in the district. After early losses to Brennan and number one O’Connor, Clark has come back to beat Brennan in their latest meeting and is, according to Coach Kristen Daniel, peaking at the right time.

Go Cougars!

Water polo player Katy Crouch was named Clark’s player of the week by The Echo, a new newspaper that serves the Helotes/Leon Valley/ Leon Springs areas. She was instrumental in the Coogs making it to the finals in the Alamo Cup last weekend.

Go Katy!

Saturday’s cross country meet was cancelled due to rain.

Yes, we need it, but not on Saturday please.

After a strong first quarter Clark lost to an inspired MacArthur team 33-7 at Farris last night.

No rain this year, so the Cougars were able to finish the NEISD tennis tournament and snag sixth place. Clark beat Johnson this morning, but fell to a tough Harlingen South team in the afternoon.

Clark maintained its number eight place in the EN 6A football rankings this week.

This weekend at the NEISD Blossom invitational meet, the Clark cross country
team competed in one of the toughest races of the season. The crazy inclines,
heat and humidity were taxing on all runners no matter what school they ran for.
Instead of being intimidated however, Clark runners used the inclines to their
advantage, powering up the hills and letting loose on the descents, rapidly
passing those around them. All in all, Clark ran an excellent, controlled race,
dropping minutes from their pre-season 5k times.

It was a balmy 114 degrees, well, at least it seemed like it in the stands – but that didn’t affect your Clark Cougars, as they met non-district foe Roosevelt in Comalander Stadium Friday night.  Tristan Cavazos started the scoring for the Cougars when he nailed a 42-yard field goal in the first quarter, his first of the year.  Trenton Ford threw a 56-yard bomb to William Young later in the first half, and Cavazos added the extra point, giving Clark a 10-0 advantage at the half.  The defense played exceptionally well – forcing the Rough Riders to turn the ball over on downs or punt every possession of the first half.

The Rough Riders were able to grind out a scoring drive in the third quarter, but the Cougars answered in the fourth with another long pass from Ford to Young – this one a 53-yarder.  Roosevelt scored again with less than a minute left in the game to come within 3, but their on-side kick attempt failed, sealing the 17-14 victory for the “good guys”.

Your Clark Cougars will take their 1-1 record to Gus Stadium next Friday against the pass-happy offense of Laredo United.
