How do you know when you’re a good soccer player? When you average nearly a goal per game when every other team knows their job No. 1 is to stop you.
Alex Clark had a knack for finding the back of the net, whether it was on set pieces, on a give-and-go from a teammate, or just cleaning up
the mess inside the box. His scoring prowess took a little time to develop, however, as he didn’t score a single goal and had just one assist as a freshman. But he increased his numbers every year, scoring 10 goals as a sophomore, 17 as a junior and 18 this past fall.
He finished with 45 goals and 17 assists, leading St. Augustine Prep to 20 wins last fall, including a berth in the state semifinals. With Clark leading the way, the Hermits won the CAL title with wins over EHT and Hammonton.
