And it wasn't that close either I sure hope you're right! It's going to be tough to top last year. Last season was one of the toughest schedules any Irish team has ever faced.

QB play is really the only one question mark coming into the season, and while starting a sophomore QB doesn’t seem ideal, O’Neil isn’t like most sophomore QB’s. Already holds FBS offers and played varsity last year. Oh quick O’Neil settles down will probably dictate the winning margin, but I don’t see Westfield stopping Cathedral more times than they score on Cathedral. If there was ever a time to break in a sophomore QB, it’s with Cathedral’s offensive line and defense behind him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, this. I could play QB for Cathedral this season and they'd only lose one game. I can't take a dump without pulling a muscle. Cathedral boosters have done a fine job putting together this year's team (only a joke my Irish friends)! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PHJIrish Posted August 17, 2021 Share Posted August 17, 2021 I don't make too many, if any, predictions but I'm really excited to begin the season and wonder why Cathedral has played at Westfield two years in a row. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was told by a source we were supposed to host Carmel to start the season (to make good on our one-one agreement), but after the thumping we gave them last season at their place they backed out with their tail between their legs and Westfield was happy to play us again but would have to be at their place again! Who knows but sounds logical! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BTF Posted August 18, 2021 Share Posted August 18, 2021 This game is intriguing to say the least. My gut says Cathedral by a couple of scores, but would it be a complete shocker if Westfield won this game? Maybe I'm just out of the loop being two hours north.

This was said last year as well and that game should have resulted in a cathedral win, even though it did not. CG is loaded on defense but so is cathedral. Cathedral has a better O-line and better receiving core. Don't get me wrong, CG will be loaded and will be the best team in 6A but to say no one else will be loaded is ignorant.

Tayven Jackson, Daniel Weems, Caden Curry, Mitchell Evans. That’s four things. Anyway, the beautiful thing is they play head to head on October 15. So it will prove itself out. I stand by my statement, ignorant as you may think it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two pretty evenly matched teams last year and I bet Cathedral returns more starters. I’m obviously biased, but I think Cathedral has the best defense in the state front to back. Obviously CG’s front 4 speaks for itself, but pretty sure CG is pretty inexperienced at LB and loses some key pieces in the secondary. October 15th should be a battle.

Footballking16 Posted August 20, 2021 Share Posted August 20, 2021 7 minutes ago, Grover said: Agreed. But please describe how they should have won. Because your team had to go nearly 60 yards with a little over a minute left and no timeouts after previously stopping Cathedral on 4th and a half yard on play where Cathedral wins eventually if they run literally any other play (or punt). There were so many things that had to go right in Center Grove’s favor for Cathedral to lose that game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grover Posted August 20, 2021 Share Posted August 20, 2021 Okay. If we each get to take back a play I'll take back the pick six. I'll go along with "the best team CG played all year" or "I thought CG was going to lose that game" or "Cathedral COULD have won" but I'm not buying the "should" have won. Your mileage may vary.

PHJIrish Posted August 20, 2021 Share Posted August 20, 2021 I'm more concerned with Westfield now and I hope the team is also. I'm sure Coach Peebles have them looking forward no further than tomorrow night. It'll be nice if both CG and the Irish are undefeated into week 9, but that's a long way off. Oh, and last year is history. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's sort of misleading, as Cathedral played their first team sparingly, and looked at all that dressed and the Irish had quite a few more players than FC. Good luck to the Flashes. You have the coach to get you back on track. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
