PHJIrish Posted September 28, 2020 Share Posted September 28, 2020 I've seen a lot of Cathedral comebacks, and comebacks against the Irish, but the most memorable comeback came quickly and was stunning. The game was in Cincinnati at Moeller and, and as a common thing back then, the stadium clock stopped working late in the game. That seemed to happen a lot when playing in Cincinnati at that time. Moeller scored late in the game to take a 24-23 lead. Of course we had not idea how much time was left. Moeller kicked off into the end zone for a touchback, which put Cathedral at their own 20 yard line. The Irish QB, Corey Babb, threw a long pass down the field and it was caught at the Moeller 23 yard line. We were told that there was only one second left, so the Irish lined up for a 40 yard field goal. Well, the Irish place kicker had been excused from the team during the previous week and senior Drake Myers was going to try his first varsity field goal from 40 yards to win the game. Needless to say, his kick was right down the middle and Cathedral won the game 26-24. We were later told that Moeller had scored with 17 seconds left in the game. It was a good ride home back to Indy, to say the least! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hhpatriot04 Posted September 28, 2020 Share Posted September 28, 2020 2004 3A South Semistate: Chatard leads Heritage Hills by 10-0 after one quarter. The Trojans's D1 RB Dray Mason breaks his collarbone early in the second quarter. It was like a light going off for three-time 3A defending state champion Trojans, who had only lost by less than a score to nationally ranked Elder and Roncalli. HH defense locks down against a Chatard team still full of D1 players and wins 13-10 on a late field goal. Without that win, Chatard wins consecutive 3A state titles from 2001-2007, a feat never likely to be duplicated with the success factor.
