So....this is going to be good. By the way New Pal has one of the premier football atmospheres I 've  traveled to. Very friendly laid back group of stadium helpers. (The concessions need help) But the reason I'm posting is to let you all in on the Irish team family of fans. Standing  on the visiting team side, I don't like to sit. I was able to, first hand, see how complementary and polite the students and adults where conducting themselves all game long. Impressive also, that they have such a massive group following the team.  You don't know what tailgating is until you see this group. They feed and welcome anyone and every one to join them pre game. Food, my god, enough to feed an army. gratin potatoes, fresh fruit, couple of soups, southwest dip and chips, baked beans, dogs, burgers just to mention some of the offerings And thank goodness, inside the New Pal stadium, Chick-fil-a sandwiches, nothing to write home about, for $5, and oh yea,$1 popcorn that comes in a container about the size of a Cracker Jack box. If anyone ever gets a chance to attend a football game that Cathedral plays in do it. Great group.

Thanks for coming and being apart of one of the best atmosphere's for high school football I have experienced. Great fans on both sides of the field made it that way. Maybe next year we can get you down here when they sell pork burgers at the concessions.

Thanks! The only place I found online near the high school is Round The Corner Grill, which I assumed will be flooded around 5 pm

Highly recommend Sugar Creek Brickhouse on U.S 40 just east of Mt. Comfort Rd., but there is also Bonnie and Clyde's Hideout on 52 on the west side of town, El Jaripeo and Round the Corner are both in town.

I think sectional 39 takes the cake for travel times. Both Triton Central and Union County are at least 1.5 hours away from anyone else and over an hour from each other. Union County is 2hr50 min away from Paoli and Mitchell.

i GREW UP IN A FOOTBALL TOWN.  sTARETED ATTENDING VARSITY GAMES WHEN i WAS IN JUNIOR HIGH.  tHE SPECTACLE WAS ENORMOUS, AS i RECALL.  cOULDNT WAIT TO DON THE PADS FOR THE FIRST TIME AS A FRESHMAN.  i WENT TO cATHOLIC GRADE SCHOOL AND WE DID NOT HAVE A FOOTBALL PROGRAM.

I strongly doubt I would have been drawn to the program as a junior high schooler had the team been extremely uncompetitive.  I would have stuck to baseball or something else.

For me, not playing was never an option.

 

 

Ah the caps lock monster... it gets the best of us.
