They entered the postseason among the favorites in Indiana. “We’re back to where we want to be,” Cathedral boys lacrosse head coach Andy Gruber said. “This felt like a normal Cathedral lacrosse season.” The Irish, t...

There was growth, improvement and a lot of winning. Cathedral High School boys volleyball on that front progressed successfully in Tyler McClure’s second season as head coach. The results? A 22-12 overall record, a Top 5 state ranking and yet another appearance in the Indiana Boys Volleyball Coaches Association State final four for a program that in 2022 continued its longstanding status as one of the top high school boys volleyball teams in Indiana. “We were young and inexperienced across the board, but we definitely got a lot bette...

Another spring, another strong season. Cathedral High School girls track and field, one year after the most successful season in program history, followed that with more historical success in 2022. “It was a fun year,” Irish girls track and field coach John O’Hara said in mid-May. “It’s always good to have numbers and it’s been a very enjoyable group. We’re not at the most elite level in every category, but in every event, we had a chance to get somebody to state, which is really fun.” With senior ...

This was a memorable season, as expected. Cathedral High School’s boys golf team entered the 2022 season with two experienced, talented seniors – a duo that included one of the state’s top golfers.

The Irish season as of mid-to-late May inclu...

This was a new type of season for the Royal Irish Rugby Society. And while it was a long way from an easy season, it turned out to be a memorable one – and a successful one as well. That was true whatever the postseason brought. The Royal Irish, a team made up of student athletes from Cathedral and Bishop Chatard high schools, long has been one of the nation’s top high school rugby programs. The program in 2022 overcame adversity to continue to achieve that status. “Rugby is a game of attrition and this has been a season of att...

The present remained strong, and the future remained bright. That was the story of Cathedral High School 2021-2022 wrestling, a season in which one Irish wrestler further established himself among the best in program history – and one in which others maximized their potential.

Freije, in his sixth season as the Irish’s baseball coach, said the team’s strength this season again will be a focus on pitching and defense. That’s a formula that has helped Cathe...
