IndianaWrestlingGuy1 Posted January 10, 2010 Share Posted January 10, 2010 With the weekend competition over, it seems that the time is right to discuss the meet of the year in Indianapolis coming to us this Wednesday, January 13th between the County Champion, Perry Meridian, and the City Champion, Cathedral Irish. Facing the #2 team in the state of Indiana in their own gym with a capacity crowd, it looks to be an insurmountable task for the Irish. With the If You Ever Wrestled for Perry Meridian Million Man March, the histrionics of the blow-up doll/daunting Falcon, and the overall class exhibited by our southside brethren, how could the Irish ever feel we could compete. The youth of the Irish and our #17 state ranking should be a sizable disadvantage to the juggernaut that is the Perry Meridian program. Despite the glaring defeat to the Mishawaka Cavemen today and the potential subsequent drop in the rankings, I would suspect that the Irish are just hoping to be competitive with the powder blue. If anyone has some match-ups that they think are worthy to compare, please feel free to itemize the massacre this Wednesday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thornton Posted January 10, 2010 Share Posted January 10, 2010 Cathedral definitely has the upper hand in this match-up. The Irish have beaten the Falcons the past 2 years and seem to have their number. The Irish sport 11 city champions compared to only 4 county champs for Perry Meridian.That, combined with the humbling loss to Mishawaka may prove to be too much for the weary Falcons to overcome. It should be a great dual meet (as it has been the past 2 years), but in the end it just seems like a very tall mountain to climb for the Falcons.

You must be one bitter SOB. Were you not able to crack the varsity lineup at Perry is that why your so bitter or are you just that stupid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jsabik Posted January 11, 2010 Share Posted January 11, 2010 any predictions on match ups? I have not seen the Irish at all this season and didn't know what they looked like after losing a few kids last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Y2CJ41 Posted January 11, 2010 Share Posted January 11, 2010 Can't you feel the love? I sure can. Keep it civil or you will be given a one week vacation Good luck to both teams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CharlieMcGinley Posted January 11, 2010 Share Posted January 11, 2010 i think that Cathedral will win again this year but perry is not overrated i mean they did get beat by mish pretty bad but they also didnt jus lose to the state champs they also lost to cathedral by 16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IndianaWrestlingGuy1 Posted January 11, 2010 Author Share Posted January 11, 2010 Though the County Tournament seemed weaker this year by a long shot that most years, the City Tournament can't hold the County's jockstrap. I wish it was different, but it is not. One day we will all be one happy family within Marion County when the County schools and IPS merge. Until then, we will just have to honor our commitment to the ArchDiocese. No line-up breakdowns? C'mon. That is the least you can do if we are cracking on each other's programs. I think Perry wins by 15 or so. They have much more depth than the Irish. Tonte, McKinley, Bova, Johnson, Cooper. Wow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suzq Posted January 11, 2010 Share Posted January 11, 2010 Who has Perry lost to in the last 2 years? Cathedral and the eventual state champs. Mishawaka & CP. These are not the same teams on either side. No "murderers row" for Perry this year. I think both teams are down a bit. Should be a great match up though. Good luck to both teams!!

decbell1 Posted January 11, 2010 Share Posted January 11, 2010 I feel like there have been two different Cathedral teams this year. The team at Traicoff was missing several guys, and then they looked like a Top 10 team again for a while, and then they finished 3rd place, behind Roncalli in a recent individual tournament. Perry Meridian definitely has some weak spots in their lineups, but I am not sure Cathedral has enough horses to win 7 matches against Coach Tonte.

IndianaWrestlingGuy1 Posted January 11, 2010 Author Share Posted January 11, 2010 I agree, DecBell. I struggle to find more than 6 wins for the Irish on Wednesday. If, by the grace of God, we can upset the Falcons and, then perhaps beat Roncalli and the Deckard-ites the next week, we might be worthy of a top 10 ranking going in to the Tournament. . .

Thornton Posted January 11, 2010 Share Posted January 11, 2010 They definitely can't win 7 matches against Coach Tonte. Even at his age, his is tough enough to win 8 matches against high school kids. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thornton Posted January 11, 2010 Share Posted January 11, 2010 This is using the line ups from that I could find: Cathedral Perry Meridian 103: #6 Mike Venezia vs #16 Nick Bova 112: #8 Brian Harvey vs #6 Jared McKinley 119: John Hummel (city champ at 112) vs Michael Clem 125: Alex Collignon vs Jason Simmons 130: John Stringfield vs Joey Klinesmith 135: Sam Oskins vs Kenny Harris 140: Gino Gillum vs #14 Kirk Johnson 145: Max Hamm vs #10 Derek Harz 152: Austin Niebarger vs #3 Jacob Tonte 160: #2 Tyler Willis vs Nick Witten 171: Casey Devlin vs CJ Martin 189: Steven Hackle vs Andre Richards 215: #5 Jake Buchanan vs #15 Logan Cooper 285: Wesley Stokes vs Devin Schaefer If there are any changes, please let us all know. Should be good! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sponge Bob Posted January 11, 2010 Share Posted January 11, 2010 Warning to Perry Meridian !!! Their nickname is the Fighting Irish but more important do not underestimate the community they come from. Be ready for one hell of a fight. This will be much better than Mishawaka.
