Irish On Deck

Prepare for one of the most brutal Septembers in the history of Irish football. Of course you’ve got the two marquee match-ups. McGuinness will face off with Class 4A rival Douglass High School. And the annual Battle of the Bishops will take place the very next week. However, there is no break after those two [...]

Towards the top, eh? Not quite. The new ADM has been released, and Bishop McGuinness has been moved from Class 4A to 5A. McGuinness ranks as the smallest school in 5A, but not all sports are making the change. Tennis, wrestling, swimming, and cross country are Irish sports already classified at 5A. Three of those [...]

When you talk about dynasties around McGuinness, girl’s tennis is certainly one of them. This past Saturday, Emily Conrad and Whitney Ritchie finished their high school careers with a fourth state championship in girl’s tennis. The girls’ achievement also makes the twelfth consecutive year the Lady Irish have won the tennis state championship.

With the school year coming to a close, one student is focused on winning state championship…as a freshman.

I was lucky enough to send some questions to NBA prospect Daniel Orton, and got some great responses. The questions ranged from Kentucky, to the draft, and even some things about McGuinness.

The season started off a bit bumpy with a season-opening loss to Clinton back on March 2. However, [...]

It was everything the Trojans had hoped for. The undefeated Douglass High School Trojans destroyed Bishop McGuinness on Saturday, 86-51. It’s been four years since McGuinness’ victory over the Trojans in the 4A State Championship Game. That was a game people were talking about for awhile. This game will probably erased from the Irish’s memory [...]

It’s been a year since their last meeting. Star Spencer ruined the Irish’s four-peat, and the Bobcats were hoping to stop McGuinness from appearing in a fifth consecutive championship game. Joe Edmonds stole the show on Thursday, but it was Jameel Whitney (14 points) and Matt Christiansen (15 points) who came up big in the [...]

There isn’t one McGuinness fan smiling after the dominating performance by the Irish this afternoon. Oklahoma Christian University hosted the 3rd-ranked Bishop McGuinness Fighting Irish and the unranked Cache Bulldogs. Cache was one of two teams unranked who made the dance, and their position in the 4A polls were clearly for a reason. The Irish [...]
