Celebrating 150 Years of the City of Corning & Clay County in 2023 History of The Bobcats With Lurora trimmed, Piggott humbled, Pocahontas scalped and Highland leveled and our Corning Bobcats headed for a 1973 championship, now if a fitting season to recall the beginning of football in our community. The photograph on the Courthouse Square portrays the squad of pioneer Bobcats at practice in the Fall of 1910.
