Great interview thanks!

The entire Cathedral football team and coaches attend mass the afternoon before every game they play in the fall. I would assume the other Catholic high schools probably do the same thing...but at Cathedral it is a big-time tradition.

On May 5th Cathedral hosted over fifty college football programs an 100+ coaches for a football showcase day to highlight the upcoming 2022-2023 Irish Football team. How many of these schools and coaches also visited RHS that day (since they were in town....)? FSVSBPWXEAMeLBe.jfif

Schedule is still open for that game, or at least per MaxPreps. I assume it will be a home game. Irish only have two home games on schedule for next year....so all the bickering about Arlington will be kept to a minimum!

In 6A probably a toss-up between Cathedral and Center Grove, or at least at this point? Irish QB Danny O'Neil crushed it in local workouts this spring, and as a result has been invited to camps at Alabama and Georgia in early June. He already took official visits to Notre Dame and Ohio State in April. This receiving mate Jaron Tibbs just received offer from Iowa last week with more to come. That duo could be ridiculously stupid this year especially with RB Carson Johnson returning and stud tight end @ 6'3" and 230 lbs with several D1 offers. While we did lose a lot on both lines, the explosive offense combinations might not make that matter too much this year.

What is most crazy about Cathedral this year is that in the championship football game Tibbs had 200 receiving yards...and in the basketball championship he was the leading scorer for the Irish.

Yes I imagine that will be one of the Ohio GLC schools which is still pending.

Only two homes games for the Irish...our favorite venue will get little love this year (i.e. Arlington!) Too bad the powers at be be can't make it happen where the opening game of season would be Irish vs. Center Grove (game is 10/14 this year - last game regular season again @ CG) as the season would get more hype with defending 5A/6A champions teeing off on each other!

Well deserved, wow I just read he is graduating this week from GS and will enroll at Purdue in January. Sweet!

😅 Our turn to play at your house. What is interesting, is should we (hopefully) move to 6A it looks like a forgone conclusion we will fall in the Section 8 sectional as there are only two other teams besides you guys (Columbus North, Franklin Central). That means next year we could conceivably draw each other in the first game of sectional. Cant imagine either program possibly not playing in month of November next year! Congrats on great season.

Never too early to talk about next season, especially since this season is ov-a. Cathedral Athletic Director Rick Striffe was interviewed at halftime at either the Decatur Central or New Pal game by the Irish radio network...and he disclosed the 2022 schedule will be same opponents with exception of Lafayette Jeff will replace Columbus North. It would be great to open the season at Center Grove as the showcase game of the week featuring the two repeat state champions in 5A/6A. Who knows, but if anyone has the power they have plenty of time to make that happen!

Agree the stats GK3 had were off the charts. I just think Curry has more of a presence where he served as the catalyst to the team which is responsible for such amazing success which may give them top 5 ranking nationally after this weekend. If I am a betting man I say Allen gets the award and would be well deserved it would just be curious to see how close the voting will be under these circumstances

I think what Curry has done is remarkably impressive, and his uniqueness as a player is something I haven't seen in my 25+ years following high school football. He plays both sides of the ball (and long snapper too) and case in point is last night, he rushed for almost 40 yards on two critical plays for Center Grove and no one could bring this guy down. I think where the argument is going to revolve around while Allen may be one of the best QB's the state has ever had, Curry may be the most 'complete' football player the state has ever had. Question is what fits the criteria for Mr. Football the most?

Yes I guess I was looking at it based on the time we played them vs. how good they are now two months later in the season. Should be a good one tonight, I am pulling for Westfield for the upset.

Good game, next to Center Grove this was clearly the toughest team we played all year. Question - I noticed in program Zionsville has enrollment of 2,239. I am curious what the enrollment tier is to move up to 6A? I noticed Westfield has 2,500 and CG 2,700. It is probably a moot point as I understand Zionsville will be in 6A next year regardless due to SF.
