100% agree. I have no problem with Cathedral playing in 6A and actually would prefer to see them in 6A. But at the same time, they shouldn't be forced to petition up nor receive the backlash they do on boards like these for playing where the IHSAA places them. It's silly.

That makes sense. Cathedral only accumulated 2 points in 2017 (regional win) and 0 in 18.

I have a feeling the IHSAA will cook something up that doesn't allow Cathedral to remain in 5A next year if they don't accumulate enough points/petition to move up. It was a few years ago and Cathedral was technically scheduled to move back to 4A because they lost in the sectional finals to Decatur and out of nowhere the IHSAA changed the criteria for necessary points needed to remain in a class. I believe it was from 4 to 2, but could be wrong on that. They lost to Columbus East in the semi-finals and earned 3 points but then lost the following year in the sectional finals to Decatur earning 0.

Appreciate the context. Sounds like blood was boiling and the cheap shot by the Mississinewa player put everyone over the edge. Don’t condone the brawl but that likely never happens if #62 doesn’t do what he did and they’re able to finish the game with triple 0’s on the clock. Bad look for both programs here, hopefully Wayne pays for the locker room damage.

Saw the video. Not sure the prelude to what happened, but in the video I saw of the specific incident, that falls solely on Mississinewa’s #62. Won’t find a bigger cheap shot than that shove in the back after the play was over. IHSAA should be able to review that video and retroactively eject him from the game (if he already wasn’t) and he should be suspended for the next game. If I were his coach he wouldn’t play the rest of the season.

Thinking a New Pal score late against the 2’s and 3’s while the clock is running.

I’ll settle for 41-7.

There shouldn't be a threshold that constitutes running up the score. If a team pulls their 1's after the 1st quarter and runs dives and powers with the 3rd and 4th teamers the rest of the game and wins 80-0 then so be it, that's on the other team. A team up 35-10 late in the 4th quarter, with the ball, throwing while the game is in hand to make the final score 42-10 is a lot more classless than the above mentioned scenario.

The 04 Roncalli team was very good. Jason Werner was Mr. Football and starred at Purdue and Pat Kuntz started a couple years at Notre Dame. Also had Tim Sergi who went to IU on a scholarship but missed most of the season due to an injury. They weren't fancy back then, didn't need to be. They ran all of 3 or 4 plays and you couldn't stop them. Also believe 4A was much stronger back then when it was 5 classes compared to what 4A is now.

Roncalli used to always play a fairly tough schedule. Aside from playing Cathedral and Chatard, they always used to open up with Center Grove and got Franklin Central week 2. Played their fair share of schools from OH as well if I can recall.

Lol. You talk about Cathedral more than some of the people on here actually support Cathedral. You care about Cathedral entirely WAY too much. Clearly.

I think we can all point out the poster who didn't get accepted in to Cathedral. Can't keep their damn out his mouth.

That’s an open interpretation my guy.

Save your prayers for something more worthwhile. Think you may need them.

I’ll say a prayer for your ego tonight.

Open enrollment kills your no boundaries argument. Every public high school in Indianapolis has the ability to take a student from the same 2 million people that Cathedral does. I understand and respect your wishes to bow out of this argument, it’s for your own good.

They draw from who applies genius. Cathedral has an acceptance rate of >80% and with a typical freshman class being ~350 students that means they typically receive 450-500 applicants a year. A lot of the students who apply to Cathedral also apply to Chatard, Brebeuf, Guerin, etc and ultimately go there there paving the way for students who were initially waitlisted to gain acceptance. Simply put, if you apply to Cathedral, you’re likely getting in. Any student in Central Indiana can theoretically choose to go wherever they want with open enrollment being instituted so save it.

Just a friendly reminder.

Forgot where playing a tough regular season schedule was a pre-requisite for playing in the 6A tournament? You made the comment, not me.

Sounds like something you should take up with the IHSAA. Not sure how this has anything to do with the current senior class.

Uhh Chatard was a top 5 team regardless of class last year. They aren’t better this year than last year.

Says who? You? Sorry they don’t play an HHC schedule every week.

You just going to forget the 14 other games they scored 30+? -hung 56 on 6A runner-up -44 on Carmel -beat Ohio large class state champion -40 in 3A champ who was top 5 regardless of class -hung 38 on La Salle who was a top 10 team in Ohio 567 points to my knowledge is the single season scoring record at Cathedral. I know it doesn’t mean a damn thing but CalPreps has the 2021 team beating the 2019 team by 11 points and the 2020 team winning by 16 points.

I never called this year or last years team the best Cathedral team of all-time, I simply stated that both were better than the 2019 team. I said the 2020 team statistically was the best offensive Cathedral team of all-time. I can’t help you with reading comprehension dude….sorry.

Ekiyor will be in the NFL next year. Cathedral no doubt had some impressive individual talent (as well as good teams) in the time frame you’ve referenced, but none of those teams were as a deep and/or collectively strong as the last two Cathedral teams. I don’t know why you need to fight it?
