PHJIrish Posted October 31, 2021 Share Posted October 31, 2021 This could be an interesting game. 5A #1 and #2, in some polls, could be one of the best games of the week. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want so badly to believe that this game will be competitive but I still like the Irish by 3 to 4 scores. Something in the neighborhood of 38-14.

PHJIrish Posted November 1, 2021 Author Share Posted November 1, 2021 I hate to sound like Lou Holtz, but a lot can happen during a game, and that's why they play. DC beat the Irish down there 3 years ago. I just hope the Irish aren't looking ahead. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will prob come down to run-defense (or "O" and D-line play)...Turnovers will equal extra possessions and points! Should be a hostile home crowd as well...

Plus since we don't know who we would play next, not sure what there would be to look ahead too!!! Irish 42 DC 14 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IndianaWrestlingGuy Posted November 1, 2021 Share Posted November 1, 2021 Anytime there is a Tracy on the opposing team, anything can happen. One of the most talented families that has rolled through the IHSAA in recent memory. The Irish will have their hands full containing him. I'm excited to see our Front7 be challenged. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By interesting you mean how long will it be before Cathedral takes control? Cathedral 42, Decatur Central 14. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cathedral 42, Decatur Central 14. I love how everyone seems to have much more confidence in Cathedral than their OWN posters... Though in reality, I bet they are just trying to drum up excitement for their contests each week. Maybe if they convince themselves that the other team will make it competitive they feel like they get their money's worth? Much less boring that way.

Maybe if they convince themselves that the other team will make it competitive they feel like they get their money's worth? Decatur Township resident here with a lot of respect for the school and the Hawks. I just think Cathedral is a different animal. I mean, Center Grove rolled Decatur Central. A vs B doesn't mean C vs B will be similar if C played A tight, but I just think Cathedral is probably a threat in 6A obviously. Decatur is a great program, but it's one of the best in class and Cathedral is one of the best in the show. No shame in that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crimsonace1 Posted November 1, 2021 Share Posted November 1, 2021 DC is good - Stevens is an excellent dual-threat player and they have a couple of threats to go to the house on every play - but Cathedral is otherworldly right now. 47 minutes ago, temptation said: I love how everyone seems to have much more confidence in Cathedral than their OWN posters...

When you have a really good team that *should* win, but are facing a quality opponent, you give the opponent a lot of respect and have cautious optimism. Right now, Cathedral is at least 2-3 TDs better than anyone in 5A except maybe Valpo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get your joke regarding field conditions, but in reality it’s Zero chance. None. A Cathedral team this good will get zero competition in 5A. It’s a cakewalk to the trophy presentation. And I hate saying it because I despise definitive statements. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which I completely get and you are correct but the same Cathedral posters start topics in here on a weekly basis talking about "I hope Cathedral doesn't over look this team" or "this team could make things interesting" when in fact its window dressing as the Irish are at least 3 scores better than everyone in 5A and could probably still win 5A by double figures on an "off night." 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Footballking16 Posted November 1, 2021 Share Posted November 1, 2021 Cathedral "should" win by 3-4 TD's but the competitive advantage of playing on grass doesn't exist in this game unfortunately. We all know that Cathedral just loves to sling the ball around the field in wet and muddy conditions. Ideal conditions for that style of play if you ask me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
