PHJIrish

Missed FG for the win in OT!

Irish freshman Benjamin Morrison with two interceptions in the first quarter today! Irish up 17-0 late first quarter.

OT, for heaven's sake!

Sit back and enjoy what we have. Nothing much better in sport, than high school playoff football!

Last night reminded me of the 2009 game at Reitz Bowl against Reitz. The Irish got manhandled 31-10 and lost Kofi in the first half. That was also a semi-state game. The Irish have lost 5 semi-state games since 2001, one to Center Grove, Columbus East and Jasper, and two to Evansville Reitz. Cathedral has lost only four games in the last three seasons, and three of those losses were to Center Grove. The Irish now have an overall record of 771 wins and 300 losses.

The weather last night was much better than regional week, imo. I was dressed a bit warmer for this one but I never got the least bit uncomfortable. The wind was the big difference last week. The Good Lord willin', I'll be back at it next season!

It has been a very good season for the Irish. I wish it had ended a bit more competitively but the Trojans were the better team last night, by a wide margin. A lot of blame can go around for the Irish performance the last 3 quarters, but to be honest, they were just outplayed. I hope I'm around to see the next edition of Cathedral football. Hats off to Center Grove and good luck next week against Carroll. Irish radio announcer, Jim McLinn, put it best last night. Expectations every season are for an Irish state championship, no matter the class. This was a very good season, but not a great one. The Irish were inexperienced at a lot of key positions, and last night some of that was exposed. See you all next year!

Irish played poorly and the Trojans didn't Good luck to them in the state title game! More later.

2003, IIRC, at Zionsville. It was 38 degrees and raining. It was hazardous just getting to your seat. Also the 1973 semi-state game at Bloomington, before North and South. It was about 25 degrees and windy. Thank God I was a drinker then!

It's about time to head for the game! I hope to see a lot of Irish fans tonight! GO IRISH!!!!

Just ask Danica!

That's playoff weather!😊

It's hard for the young men to hear you cheer if you're not at the game.

My ticket is on my phone! Ready to go!

Right now there are 24 teams in 6 classes playing, and, IMHO, that sounds about right.

I had my follow-up eye check-up this morning and I'm good to go tomorrow night! I will be wearing googles and I'll be dressed with all the warm clothes I can find! It's playoff weather!

I had my 2nd cataract eye surgery this morning but I'm planning on being at Tech Friday night and I'll be dressed warmly! GO IRISH!!!!!

Last season, Cathedral place kicker Ben Gomez missed one extra point. It was at UIndy and it hit off the upright. Gomez attempted 61 EP's last season.

I hope some of you had a chance to watch Terry McLaurin perform on the field last night, and also I hope you had a chance to watch his post game interview with Scott VanPelt. Both were very impressive.

Cathedral played Plainfield at UIndy in the 2021 playoffs.

Bishop Chatard and Cathedral are 5 miles apart on Kessler and 56th St. I'm not sure your question though. Both are within the I465 "donut."

Cathedral played Plainfield at UIndy in last season's playoff.

Commanders 32, Eagles 21 final. I wonder if the old '72 Dolphin players still pop the champagne.

Two teams within the donut are in the semi-state, Bishop Chatard and Cathedral, so it ain't too bad in there.

Undoubtedly!
