Clark cleans up at Mid-Atlantic Emmy Awards Bucks County Courier Times   Winning his first award since "my elementary school spelling bee," NBC10's John Clark was the big sports winner at the Mid-Atlantic Emmy Awards by taking home three trophies last Saturday night. The NBC10 weekend sports anchor won for "Outstanding Sports News-Feature" for his report on Eagles' long snapper Mike Bartram, "Outstanding Sports Series" for "Philadelphia Eagles - Unfinished Business," and for "Outstanding Individual Achievement - Reporter/Sports." Unfortunately, Clark didn't get to enjoy the black tie event at the Crystal Tea Room atop the Wanamaker Building in Center City because he was working. "I didn't think I would win, and it's tough to get Saturday night off," said the junior member of the NBC10 sports department. Clark, 27, said he received calls from former NBC10 news anchor Larry Mendte and current NBC10 news anchor Tim Lake informing him of his win.
