Dave007 Posted August 14, 2021 Share Posted August 14, 2021 This is going to be one hell of a game. Big stadium, sold-out crowd (for sure). A lot of positive hype for Danny O'Neil who won't even turn 16 until after the football season so he will be center stage in a monster environment and so excited anticipating how he responds. Westfield is loaded this year too, I think it will be them or CG to take the 6A crown with a lot of space between them and the other 6A teams. Too early to make predictions just wanted to get thread started. Maxpreps has Westfield ranked #2 and Irish #5 in pre-season state rankings rankings Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TigerFan20 Posted August 14, 2021 Share Posted August 14, 2021 Now this is the game that I am excited for, well, one of the many great teams in Week 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BTF Posted August 14, 2021 Share Posted August 14, 2021 Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't this Cathedral team supposed to be their best of all time? If that's the case, I'll take the Irish in this one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I am just giving Westfield credit they deserve as they are going to be much better than last year and last year they were pretty damn good, and have great senior backfield. I will say Irish win, but will probably be much closer than last year's 56-20 beat-down on the Rocks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PHJIrish Posted August 15, 2021 Share Posted August 15, 2021 I'll be there Friday night. It should be a good one. I don't know if the Irish will be better than last year, that's a tough task imho, but they should be pretty good. A lot of inexperience at the skill possessions, except at WR, but no lack of talent.

Two senior WRs (Page, Hughes) two senior running backs (Mencer, Tazz), junior WR1 (Tibbs) and TE1 (Wooten), senior TE (Spellacy). Soph QB Danny O'Neill is our only skill player without experience. That said, the only non-senior starters on either side are O'Neill and Power5 Junior Recruits (Gilbert, Tibbs, Wooten). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bash Riprock Posted August 16, 2021 Share Posted August 16, 2021 If Popeye and the Dline can get pressure on an inexperienced QB, it could make for an interesting game. But that is dependent upon keeping the Irish ground game in check. 2 very good teams!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FridayNightLights Posted August 16, 2021 Share Posted August 16, 2021 Cathedral 42-14...I think all eyes are going to be on the matchup looming on Oct. 15th....Will be 2 of the best teams in the entire nation taking the field that night Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McCahill was out a series with some cramps and O'Neil played the last few series in a blowout win. I think Westfield is going to struggle scoring. Going to have to force a ton of turnovers and limit big plays to keep this one close. I have the Irish 38-10. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I'd like to think Cathedral got better last year as the season progressed. Unless the the soph QB is just extremely overwhelmed (he played a fair amount last year) I don't see Westfield keep it close. Irish D is just too good.

IndianaWrestlingGuy Posted August 16, 2021 Share Posted August 16, 2021 Irish D looking nasty. I think it will be closer than last year. I'm thinking 14-3 Irish. Irish O couldn't score on Irish D in 10 series in the Blue-Gold game including from the 10 yard line. #11Gold could have a legendary year. Can't wait to see Irish D vs Cincy LaSalle O in 4 weeks on the road. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
