Clark Douglas | The John Cooper School

Committed 💣🔵 @BomberSports @JCS_Baseball88 @JCS_Athletics pic.twitter.com/jmtdAJefzA

— Clark Douglas (@clarkdouglas10) March 28, 2020

Clark Douglas recently verbally committed to Ithaca College and VYPE caught up with him.

VYPE: What made Ithaca college the place for you?

Douglas: Both Ithaca's strong academics along with the opportunity to hopefully build on their storied athletic program were two major factors for me. They have beautiful facilities and a great new coaching staff I'm looking forward to working with.

VYPE: How exciting is it that you will get to continue to play at the next level?

Douglas: It's a dream come true to play baseball at the next level. Dealing with injuries and other obstacles I've faced has made this a long and difficult journey for me, and that just makes this moment even more special.

VYPE: What has the John Cooper School meant to you?

Douglas: The John Cooper school has meant a lot to me over the past 3 years. Moving from the Middle East sophomore year was a difficult transition for my brother and I, but was made a lot easier by all the great people at cooper. I'm very grateful for coach Mike and the many others at the school who have helped me along this journey.
