Cathedral Prep comes to Reynolds

The always tough Ramblers visit the Raiders for the first time since December 17, 2017 for a showdown of top District 10 teams.

When, Where & How to watch

Fans, note the match time for the varsity match is 6:00 p.m.!  Prep has to drive to Connellsville right after the match for a Saturday competition. This will not be any Jr High match and if there are any JV matches, they will occur immediately before the varsity matches.

As usual, the match will be live-streamed by the Reynolds Wrestling Legacy Club on the Reynolds Wrestling News facebook page. However, get your butts to the high school if you are healthy and live close by!

Prep Overview

Historically, Cathedral Prep is one of the premier District 10 rivals for Reynolds. Even though we do not compete against each other every year, there have been many classic contests in the series.

Overall, Reynolds leads the series record 20-10-1 (the first tie in Raider history) which started in 1977. The Ramblers are one of the few teams with double digit victories against us. They won 9 of those 10 matches by 1995 and have won just once, in 2021-22, since then.

Many stars have worn the Prep uniform including NCAA Champs Kevin Darkus (1980 grad) and current Penn State star Carter Starocci, who is going for his 4th title this year.

Prep Roster

Cathedral Prep has an impressive lineup with 11 wrestlers already showing double digit victories! They are led, perhaps, by two-time defending D10 champ Keagan Oler but freshman Gabe Dorman and sophomore Corey Kowalski have oustanding records too. Still a young team, we have seen this core group of Juniors earn much success as freshman in Junior high and have a big impact on their team last year as sophomores. With wins against traditional powerhouses North Alleheny and St. Edwards, OH, this may be the breakout year for the Ramblers.
