Reigning 6A champ Center Grove and reigning 5A champ Cathedral enter 2022 looking for three-peats. Center Grove is on a 28-game win streak, which includes wins over Cathedral in 2020 and 2021, the only two losses suffered by the Fighting Irish in the last two seasons.
Once again this year, the two schools will close-out the regular season against each other. The October 14 game will be played at Center Grove.
Center Grove will have a different looking year, since the Trojans and Carmel were voted out of the Metropolitan Interscholastic Conference.
