2018-19 Clark Flag Football Capsule

CLARK

Head coach: Matthew Moyle, fifth season

2017-18 record: 8-9 (4-6 Southwest/fourth)

Returning letter winners (starters): Twelve (11)

Top players: WR/S Jaeda Centeno (So.) CB Melissa Chavira (Sr.), WR Tsion Gashaw (Sr.), QB Jagayra Gomes (Jr.), DB Sammy Malley (Jr.), S Domonikke Orocio (Sr.), RB Jania Quinones (Sr.)

Outlook: The Chargers qualified for the Sunset Region playoffs and bring back a talented crew of offensive weapons.

Gomes (2,001 passing yards, 21 TDs; 1,134 rushing yards, 14 TDs), Quinones (822 rushing yards, 5 TDs), Centeno (765 receiving yards, 14 TDs), and Gashaw (318 receiving yards, 2 TDs) are expected to be among the leaders on offense.

Malley (55 tackles), Chavira (44 tackles) and Orocio (10 interceptions) return to anchor the defense.

“After graduating all of our linebackers, including an all-star, we have some rebuilding to do on that side of the ball,” Moyle said. “On offense we return five starters and will be looking to push the pace.

“Expectations are as high as ever as we look to compete for a league title.”
