Perez scores 2 of his 18 points

The Clark Cougars varsity basketball team advanced to the 3rd round of the 5A playoffs with a 56-51 over the #7 Wagner Thunderbirds.  A loud crowd saw the Cougars once again clamp down on defense and make baskets when needed to get the win.

A tight game opened up to an eight point lead at halftime by Clark.  Adam Perez’ 3-point basket at the buzzer sent the Cougars to the locker room with a 29-21 lead.  Wagner flew back in the third with three point shooting to make it a 39-38 game after three periods of play.  The game wasn’t a certain win until Carter Josephs made a steal with :08 seconds left in the game.

NOW PAY ATTENTION:  This means the Cougars will take on BRANDEIS on Tuesday at Paul Taylor next.  These Coogs need a LOUD CROWD to help them on their way. The “my little ponies” fans will be there with support.  Show up, tweet, facebook your friends, and get ready to get rowdy!

Great game Coogs!
