This season has a chance to be special. And memorable. It already has been fun – and all are reasons that Head Coach Lisa Finn said there is a lot to like about Cathedral High School girls basketball in 2021. “We’re learning and improving each game and that’s helpful,” Finn said. The Lady Irish, with largely a new team from last season and with some significant additions via transfer, started the season with a 4-4 record – with two of losses coming by three and two points. One of the victories came in convinci...

This is a talented group. Really, really talented. But while that’s unquestionably true for 2021-2022 Cathedral High School boys basketball, Head Coach Jason Delaney something else is more important. The Irish are a good team. Really, really good. “It’s a joy to come to practice and come to work with these guys,” Delaney said. Delaney said it’s the team part that gives the ’21-’22 Irish – even more than a roster of players who as of late November had received 53 scholarship offers – a chan...

This was memorable, impressive and thrilling. And while back-to-back state titles are always special, and while the Cathedral High School 2021 football team will be remembered as one of the best in the history of a historical program, Head Coach Bill Peebles said something else was equally true. This took a season-long effort by all involved. “I didn’t think it was going to be easy – and it wasn’t, for sure,” Peebles said. The Irish, long one of Indiana’s top football programs, turned in one of the most imp...

Top-rated Indianapolis Cathedral won the 14th high school football tournament state championship in school history Friday night, defeating Zionsville, 34-14, in the Class 5-A title game at Lucas Oil Stadium.  It’s the second consecutive year that the Fighting Irish downed the Eagles in the finals, winning 46-28 in 2020. Zionsville jumped out to an early lead when Christian Abney connected with Trey Firestone on a 17-yard touchdown pass halfway through the first quarter.  It was the second time this season that Cathedral trailed in a ga...

Reigning Class 5-A state champion Indianapolis Cathedral defeated New Albany Friday night, 52-13, at Arsenal Tech’s Howard Longshore Stadium to win its 15th high school football semi-state championship.  The Fighting Irish will now make a state-record 17th finals appearance next Friday at 7:00 pm in a rematch of last season’s championship game against Zionsville. New Albany recovered Cathedral’s opening onside kick attempt at its own 47-yard line.  On the Bulldogs’ first play from scrimmage, Anthony Kwiatkowski interc...

Girls volleyball head coach Mary Ording '09 Hemer has decided to step down from her position to focus on her family. The volleyball program has won three consecutive sectional titles and two City Championships including a program sweep in 2021. "I am honored to have spent the last 3 years as the head coach of such a historic program & to have spent so much time working with many of our remarkable student-athletes," Coach Hemer said about her time as head coach. "While I will miss the girls dearly, I am also extremely excited abo...

This was one to remember, and one to savor. Cathedral High School girls soccer in 2021 turned in one of their better seasons in recent memory while not quite reaching the Irish’s lofty postseason goals. And they continued building on their status as one of Indiana’s top girls soccer programs. “The coaches were really just very pleased with how the season went,” Marc Behringer said. Behringer, Irish girls soccer coach for two-and-a-half decades, called the ’21 season one of the program’s “easiest&rdquo...

Reigning Class 5-A state champion Indianapolis Cathedral won its 20h high school football regional title Friday night with a 23-7 victory over New Palestine at Arsenal Tech’s Howard Longshore Stadium. The top-rated Fighting Irish, now 12-1 on the season, will host New Albany in the Class 5-A southern semi-state.  Ben Gomez kicked a career-long 45-yard field goal to put Cathedral on the scoreboard with 7:10 remaining in the first quarter.  Late in the opening period, Danny O’Neil connected with Brennan Wooten for a 7-yar...

Strides were made in 2021 – significant ones. A young Cathedral High School boys cross-country team improved as the season continued during the fall of 2021, adjusting to a new coach – and some new approaches. Most importantly, a foundation was laid for the future. All of which meant Irish boys cross-country coach Jason Moyars – in his first season in the position after 22 seasons as an assistant – liked how he felt about a young, improving program when the ’21 season ended. “We got better as the year went ...
