Ponderosa names Chase Clark new boys lacrosse coach
Chase Clark has been picked as the next boys lacrosse coach at Ponderosa, Mustangs athletic director Tim Ottmann announced on Wednesday.
Clark has a long list of coaching experience, including time as a head coach at Grand Junction High School. He’s also been an assistant at Colorado Mesa, where he played college lacrosse, as well as Johnson & Wales in Denver.
Clark played high school lacrosse at Arapahoe and Cherry Creek, and was an All-American. He’s actually still playing, as a member of the Israel National Box Lacrosse Team, and will play in the World Indoor Lacrosse Championships later this month.
In Ponderosa, Clark will inherit a highly-successful program which won the Class 4A championship in 2014. Last season, the Mustangs went 9-8 in trying to defend their title, and advanced to the second round.
Ponderosa graduated its leader scorer in Jack Griffin last spring, but will return a good deal of talent in 2016.
