Reynolds & Prep face off in a special match at the University of Pittsburgh on Friday, January 13. at 5:00. A Pitt-Buffalo match follows at 7:00. The matches will be held in the Fitzgerald Field House. There is no Junior High match.
Overview
Erie Cathedral Prep (8-3) and Reynolds (7-0) travel to the University of Pittsburgh to compete in the preliminary match before the Pitt-Buffalo match. But for both teams, this is not just a warmup/undercard match as these two are perenially two of the best teams in District 10; Prep being the consistant AAA leader and Reynolds the many time AA kingpin.
The Ramblers are coached by Mike Hahesy who is the schools winningest coach ever with a 187-50 record. His teams have won seven D10 and three NW Region titles while placing in the top four in the state five times. He and Coach Casey Taylor are considered among the top coaches in D10 so the teams and the programs are very similar in many ways.
In the previous 30 meetings, starting in 1977, Reynolds has won 19 times against Prep's 10 wins. They are one of the very few schools to have double digit victories against the Raiders. The one remaining contest, in 1979, was one of the two ties in our long history. Before last year's Prep win, Reynolds had won 10 straight meetings, the longest streak for either team in the matchup.
Once again, there will be plenty of good matchups in the match that all the fans should want to see.
