Hoyas start out slow then quickly glide to the finish

Hoyanation, the Hoyas vs. Savannah game was aired on 570 AM radio here in the Washington, DC, area. The Hoyas go on to victory against the Southern Athletic Independent Conference (SAIC) Savannah State Tiger team 63-44 with great team play". Everyone scored and contributed to team play. Jason Clark led all scorers hitting four 3 pointers in one half and was deemed player of the game, but to Jason it's about "team", sacrifice and determination for his team, this is part of what makes Jason so special as a player, person and student. As Coach Thompson credits Jason's stellar play he also said these great things about Jason, “the number of points Jason scores is irrelevant,” Thompson said. “He plays great defense and he’s a very unselfish player. He’s at the core of what we’re doing this year. He’s going to have a lot more than 14 as we go along.”

Voice of the Hoyas Rick Chvotkin

Listening to the game on the radio hearing The Voice of the Hoyas Rich Chvotkin for the first time this season was a joy. Some of the things he says makes me laugh, for instance when Jason Clark made the third of his three pointer, Chvotkin says, "bombs away", later on during the game he said, "as Jason Clark brings the ball up he is "eyeball to eyeball pressure" with the defender guarding him". Hoyas on fire! Rich Chvotkin says after a Chris Wright 3 on a 19-4 run in the first half. At the 6:16 mark in the first half Jason Clark's 4th 3 ball had Rich Chvotkin excited, saying, "Jason Clark is on fire"!

HOYAS WIN, HOYAS WIN, HOYAS WIN

Hoyanation, Jason Clark will spread his wings and glide into the season in top form

Hoyanation, it's 4 days before the Hoyas first game of the 2009-2010 season. I think Hoyanation has been waiting for this moment from last season's last game. I know I have been waiting patiently hyped up here and there, and finally only 4 more days, a dream come true no matter what the deal is. I'm ready to go out there right now and play. (just kidding). Jason Clark an all purpose guard, will glide into the season in top form with blazing speed and quickness and mad heart. Jason has added more strength which has helped him in those areas. Jason's work ethic, dedication, focus, and sense or urgency will pay off this season. His leadership will propel the Hoyas to higher levels. Could you imagine running the old John Thompson Jr's press with Jason's length. The ball wouldn't get past wouldn't get past half court because of Jason's graceful wing span which propels him to glide in for the landing for two points. We'll surely need a lot of that from Jason, and Hoyanation, I'm sure he'll deliver quite well.

Jason had a very successful summer on the hardwood at the James "Jabbo" Kenner Memorial Summer League. His play was "stellar". Sitting in my normal seat close to the floor, I was able to see the action up close. Jason quickly came down the court in transition as he's done all summer and when he crossed half court to the three point line all I saw was a burst of blazing quick speed in for two points. When I saw that I was like amazing grace. (lol)

I guess you could say it's kinda nice to have a player on this Hoya team that reminds of Sleepy Floyd, David Wingate and Reggie Williams all put into one. Also, Jason was born on the same day as my son. A great person, student and player is what makes Jason special.

One other play that really got the Kenner league rocking is when Jason came down again in transition fumbled the ball while going up for the layup, put the ball through his legs while still in mid-air and laid the ball of the glass for two points, now how did he do that? Length! Jason Clark is ready!
