Perez scolds the Huskies

Both Clark varsity basketball teams and soccer teams were victorious in their games in district play.

Perhaps the most dramatic win came as the boys basketball team was down by 2 points with :01 left in their overtime game with Holmes.  Adam Perez floated a three pointer over the Huskie defense to give the Cougars a one point win 49-48.  The boys are currently 3rd in the district standings with 3 games left on the schedule.

On the girls side, Donna Matthews led all scorers with 9 points as Clark easily defeated the Huskies 44-27.  The win gives the Cougars a 19-12 record.  A Clark win in their final game combined with Jay losses in their next two games keeps the Cougars’ playoff hopes alive.

Blair Socha and Chloe Treviño each had a goal to lead the Clark girls soccer team over Warren 2-1.  On the boys side, a 5-2 blowout of the Warriors led by Carlos Sepulveda’s hat trick gave the boys an easy win.

Clark boys soccer notched another district win on Tuesday, beating Marshall 4-0. Goals came from the feet of Jair Rodriguez, Vinnie Guerrero and Yamil Alvarado who had two – Carlos Sepulveda had two assists. This follows a weekend of tournament play in Boerne’s Hill Country Shoot Out where they beat Lee and Boerne Champion and tied last year’s State Semifinalist Brownsville Porter in a 3-3 scorefest and Austin’s St Stephens 1-1.

The Clark boys are now 7-0-2, ranked second in the San Antonio area and now recognized nationally with a fresh appearance in the ESPN Fab 50 High School rankings at #50 – the only San Antonio school in the rankings.

The Clark girls continue to play tough, battling Marshall to a 2-2 tie on Tuesday. Cougar goals came from Alyssa Jacobs and Briana Saldana with an assist from Blair Socha. District play continues at noon on Saturday with a Farris stadium showdown against Brandeis – the boys game follows at 2:00.

The only blemish thus far on the Clark boys soccer district record is a 1-1 tie against Brandeis back in January. On Tuesday night the Cougars set things right with a 2-0 victory over the broncos. The #1 ranked Cougars snagged both goals in the first half – one coming off the foot of Carlos Sepulveda and the other from John Bruce.  Oscar Barboza continues to set up his teammates as he gets credit for both assists.

Clark soccer celebrates season while thanking fans

The Clark boys soccer season ended in the regional championship against an overly whiny Westlake Chaparral team, 2-1 (even several of their fans said so…seriously…).  The Cougars finish the season with a Clark best 21-2-2 record.  Their appearance in the regional championship game is the farthest a Clark boys soccer team has ever advanced in the playoffs.

Both goals for Westlake came at point blank range, giving keeper Brandon Van Wagner little chance at stopping them.  Clark’s goal came off a corner kick rebound by sophomore Carlos Sepulveda.

The Cougars were ranked #19 in the nation and #4 in Texas by ESPN.  Congratulations on a great season.  You made us proud, boys!
