The Bobcats, who defeated Greensburg Central Catholic 1-0 to earn a trip to the PIAA Class 1A title game, had a sendoff from Clarion Veteran’s Memorial Park where approximately 25 fans/parents cheered on the team as the team bus drove past at 10:30 a.m.

“It was great to see the support from the fans and families,” Clarion manager Rob Jewett said of the senoff Monday. “I know the boys really appreciated it. It’s tough on a Monday morning. For that many (people) to show up, that was really nice. It was a good touch.”
