Meanwhile, while Clark put up plenty of points on Friday, the same can't be said for LEE. The Cougars took their game with ease, bagging a 42-0 victory over the Volunteers. The final result isn't all that surprising considering the Cougars' considerable advantage in MaxPreps' Texas football rankings (they are ranked 244th, while the Volunteers are ranked 911th).
Churchill better keep an eye on Isaiah Santillan. He was instrumental in Clark's win, throwing for 138 yards and three touchdowns while completing 81.8% of his passes. The dominant performance also gave Santillan a new career-high in passer rating (161.9).
Clark didn't go easy on the quarterback and picked off three passes before the game was over. It was truly a group effort as Eli Abad, Carlos Camarillo, and Dom Moore picked up one apiece. Moore has been hot, having also posted five or more total tackles the last six times he's played. He got in on the action too, converting a pick into a touchdown.
Churchill's loss dropped their record down to 1-3. As for Clark, their win bumped their record up to 4-0.
Churchill strolled past Clark in their previous meeting back in October of 2024 by a score of 38-19. The rematch might be a little tougher for the Chargers since the squad won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
