Unsanctioned division play wrapped up on Friday’s night with Corning completing its unfinished business from last fall’s heartbreaking ending, as the Bobcats left it all on the field in a 52-8 win over Subiaco Academy at Bobcat Field.
In the sanctioned ranks, Midland secured the North title for the school’s first-ever conference championship. Strong, who is idle for the final week of the regular season, wrapped up the South on Oct. 25 with a convincing win over Brinkley.
