Cathedral at Brebeuf Oct 8th

[Dave007]

Irish are peaking and coming off probably best overall performance of the season last Friday.

Cathedral 42

Brebeuf 10

Cathedral by 35…. The Irish are looking really really good right now. 

[PHJIrish]

Irish fans better get there early as the seating is limited, very limited.  It's the only field that spectators can't sit at the 50 yard line.

Hopefully the Irish can continue to get better.

Can’t sit at the 50?

Weird!

[Dave007]

Yes this is a small stadium, the visitors side may seat a few hundred if that.  Expect lots of SRO!

Hm, first time seeing their stadium, seating looks awkward. Wonder if they will roll some bleachers, since it will be a big game. That is what GS did with the GS-Memorial game in 2018

Not sure if I've ever seen a Brebeuf person on the GID.  I think there will be some eyes on this game down in this part of the state, especially in Gibson County...

Watching a hammer repeatedly hit a nail for 2.5 hours doesn’t intrigue some.

In years past you could literally sit on the 50 on the Brebeuf side since the games were so lightly attended by Brebeuf fans.

It's according to whether you're the hammer or the nail!

True.

Irish 45-13.

Trap game. And I count a bunch of starters from CYO battles on the Jesuits. I think 16- 3.

Brebeuf 6

From what I have heard, everyone is healthy and ready to go.  Gilbert was banged up, had a shoulder injury but will be ready.  Tibbs strained hamstring, he is good to go also

That's good news.  The Irish will need everyone healthy in the next few weeks.

I remember the last time at Brebeuf when Cam Jordan was injured and it didn't help to lose him for the playoffs.  It was cold and rainy that night!

Talked to some students and there will be a large Cathedral student section planned for this game as they plan to stake out position on the home-field stands as they plan to arrive very early.  Knowing the compelling passion the students have for their team will be interesting to see them pull it off!

In 2016, Cathedral (a 6A Sectional winner that year) did lose to a 4-6 Brebeuf team lol. 

After having seen both teams, I do think it'll be somewhat competitive for a half and the Irish end up pulling away around the lines of 35-14.

Definitely a headscratcher. From an individual standpoint, that might have been the most talented Cathedral team ever. Pete Werner (Ohio State/NFL), Emil Ekiyor (Alabama/soon to be NFL), and Markese Stepp although injured (USC/Nebraska) were all on that team.

This was the team that couldn’t hold onto the ball against CE in the semi-state right? That was probably Columbus East’ 2nd best team ever.

That was the next years team. This team lost to BD while playing in 6A.

Ah, Gotcha… I knew the one year Cathedral was very talented but never really seem to put it all together as a whole.
