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.

Talks of a dynasty now surround Summer Creek, as second-year head coach Kiara Marshall watched her squad capture back-to-back state championships over the weekend with a 55–45 victory over Flower Mound in the 6A Division 1 Final.
