Head Coach Steve McGhee has 'em ready

Focused, ready, and looking for revenge.  That best describes the 2011 Clark Cougars varsity football team’s attitude going into this year’s Gucci Bowl, the annual San Antonio high school football season kick off game.  The Cougars are looking to avenge last year’s loss to the Churchill Chargers.  Churchill, rated as high as #2 in district 26-5A and #8 in San Antonio, brings a new offensive leader in projected starting junior QB Blake Reeve.  They also return an experienced defense who led their district in 2010.

The Cougars are expected to light it up behind Arizona commit senior QB Josh Kern.   A classic Clark beefed up offensive line with plenty of DeHart aim to Cram the Chargers defensive front.  The Cougars, picked as a “possible” playoff contender in 27-5A (although the Express News sees it differently – in a good way), aim to make the prognosticators pay.

Game time is – LOOK AT THE CLOCK ON THE RIGHT – and will be televised for the 3rd consecutive year on Thursday Night Lights on My35 television.  You can also follow us on twitter for live updates.

If you can’t wait to start cheering, show up at the Back in Black Pep Rally Wednesday evening at Clark.

BEAT CHURCHILL! Thursday, August 25 Farris Stadium, 7:00pm
