I understand...in fact, several high schools around the country had to not only change the name entirely from Fighting Irish to something completely different, they had to change school colors. Cathedral was given more leeway in both cases because of the history between the two schools. There were also a handful of schools around the country that were established by the OSJ that were allowed similar leeway to Cathedral. 

The Cathedral High School website refers to the athletic teams as Fighting Irish. Also, the Cathedral school bus that comes by my neighborhood every day to pick up and drop off students from the local Catholic church says "Cathedral Fighting Irish" on the front of the bus.

I wonder if they received permission to use Fighting Irish again in 2011 when the Brothers of Holy Cross reconnected with the school.

Greenwood Christian's first varsity football season was this past year. Their schedule included the Brownsburg JV White team (not sure what level that is) as well as a JV team from Columbus East. A couple of the varsity teams that they had originally scheduled dropped football during the season so they ended up only playing about 7 games total (4 varsity, 2 JV and maybe one home school).

Going forward for 2023, they have 9 varsity games scheduled, eight 1A and one 2A.

Here is the list of parochial schools with football.  Nearly all of them have won or appeared in a state championship.  I won’t be surprised to see Blackhawk with a competitive 1A program in the next 5-10 years, and making an appearance in the 1A finals within 15 years.  Lutheran played their first IHSAA tournament game in 2006.  They went to state for the first time in 2019.  It took Covenant Christian 6 years to go to their first state finals in football.  Heritage Christian also made it to state in their 6th year playing in the tournament.
