PHJIrish

Yep! I had a feeling that Muda would muddy up this thread. I think I read somewhere that Brebeuf Jesuit will be on the New Pal schedule next year.

Catholics vs. Catholics is always tough! I'm sure ex-Cathedral OC Mic Roessler, now HC at Brebeuf, would like nothing better than to pull off another upset win over the Irish. The Irish will have to be at their best Friday night for this one.

Coach Streiff left NC so he could watch his son, John, play at Cathedral. He sat in the stands with the rest of us in 2007. I believe he had no other motive than that to leave NC. When Coach Jim O'Hara had health problems, Rick was the logical choice to come back. It worked out pretty well.

No, the running clock only started in the 2nd half of the Cathedral/Jeffersonville game. It was the quickest 2nd half you can even imagine! The clock should have been running after the first quarter but the rule states it's only in the 2nd half.

I'm not sure if Coach Peebles is a "great" coach, but I know for sure he's a really good one!

Bless you! I like track meets!

Freshman score?

I thought this game had been cancelled? I guess not.

I've attended Cathedral football games for over 60 years and this was a very big win last night. I'm sorry that the local press didn't see it as such but this was a signature win for a school that has had quite a few of them. I believe that Channel 59 in Indianapolis was the only TV channel to have highlights of this game and the Indy Star ignored it entirely. Also the Cathedral crowd was a bit sparse last night. For those who missed this game, you missed a big one! Games like last night don't happen that often! Having said all that, I hope the Irish do not have a letdown against Brebeuf Jesuit next week. The Irish have been pretty level in their play this season but sometimes you overlook certain opponents. They only have to look back a few years when a talent loaded Cathedral team traveled to Brebeuf and got their behinds handed to 'em. Mic Roessler was offensive Co-Ordinator at Cathedral for many years and he's love nothing better than to have his team do it again! Orin Edwards has become the Irish career leader in TD passes and yardage and Camden Jordan is nearing the season record for TD receptions in a single season. Hats off to these fine young men!

Well, you don't seem to be a FAN of Cathedral football. Lots of negativity towards them in fact. Give cred where it's due. This was, by any means, a major upset. Trinity had beaten Carmel and Warren Central, for heaven's sake. Maybe you should come out and watch the Irish play sometime and see for yourself that this is a good football team. And they play under the same rules as every other school in the state of Indiana, just ask Bobby Cox who has very little if any love for Cathedral football. If they were doing anything illegal, Bobby would be all over it.

The Irish are not worrying about New Pal now, they have Brebeuf Jesuit and Center Grove to worry about first. Oh and then there's the sectionals.

Both of Trinity's losses were on grass fields, at least that's what I was told tonight. The Arlington field held up well again. It looks like there will be more high school games there in the future.

Irish 28, Louisville Trinity 7! It was a classic win for the Irish. Trinity was #6 in the USA Today Midwest rankings.

Cathedral, Decatur Central and Plainfield, all Indianapolis area schools, are in the same sectional, Sectional 13, with Terre Haute South and Terre Haute North.

This be gospel.

It's almost time to leave for the game! I hope to see a lot of Irish fans tonight!

Actually the Cathedral/Tech 2-0 classic at Bush Stadium happened in 1962. Of course I was there. The place was packed. Irish running back, Bob Romberg, seemed to score the go ahead TD late in the game, but was stopped short. On the first play after the stop, Tech RB John Smith was tackled in the end zone for the safety that won the game. Big crowd, memorable game!

You stated it well!

Yep. Cathedral's last "home game" at CYO Field was the 3A state championship game in 1976 against Merrillville. They're startin' early this year with the deja vu!😁

Yeah, some of that Avon money would help!☺️

I've been told that Cathedral is kinda "kicking the tires" with playing more home games at Arlington. It has a lot of positives, including the close proximity to Cathedral. If the decision comes to playing most, if not all home games, at Arlington, further updates will take place. Right now it is adequate for a few games. If there had been more inclement weather recently that probably would have changed. Luckily we've been in a dry spell here in Central Indiana.

This is another tough test for the Irish. It should be an interesting night of football.

It shouldn't be that hard to spell Cathedral correctly, after all it's tossed around here a lot.☺️

Cathedral 56, Jeffersonville 0 (final)

Some stats from last night: Cathedral 585 total yards, 237 rushing, 348 passing . St. X 348 total yards. Turnovers, Irish 2, Bombers 0, the difference in the game.
