The following season saw dramatics increases in all statistical categories, and by the end of his stint at LASC, Coach Clarke and the Cougars had secured a conference championship, Coach of the year award, and multiple all-conference selections.

“I am elated about this opportunity. I believe that with the right amount of hard work and perseverance we will be able to build this program into an area powerhouse for years to come”
