The Clarion Area Bobcat Girls Soccer Team celebrated Senior Night at Wiser Stadium, on Monday, October 2nd.
The recognition of the eleven seniors and their parents took place prior to their match with Forest Area, which was the second game of a double-header, with the Clarion-Limestone Boys Soccer Team hosting the Fires as well. Clarion Area and Clarion-Limestone have been joined for a number of years in co-ops to form both teams.
