Clark was a star on Centerville Community College teams at a time when those squads began to bring regional and national recognition to the college.  He was the starting quarterback on the CCC football team as a freshman and sophomore with the program in its infancy.  Clark became the first NJCAA baseball All-American in school history, named to the Honorable Mention list after his freshman season.  He hit .400 for the Golden Falcons that year, and then posted a .376 batting average the following year and also led the team in stolen bases.  The Centerville native also played basketball for the Falcons and took part in track too as the college was debuting that sport in the mid-1960s.  Clark later played baseball at the University of Iowa.
