Golden Eagles Soar in Fall Season Finishes

By Ryan Davis | Nov 6, 2026 9:08 AM

The 2026 Fall Season has come to an end and the Golden Eagles had tremendous success as the state tournaments unfolded. See below for highlights: Competition Cheerleading finished 3rd at the State Competition and will have its eyes on Regional Competition in hopes of qualifying for Nationals in Disney for the 3rd straight year. Girls Cross Country competed at the State Finals and finished 5th in the state of Indiana, which is the best in program history. The Golden Eagles were paced by Lilly Higgins and Chloe Tragesser, both of which qualified for All-State recognition. Other runners included Maddy Higgins, Taylor Tragesser, Jillian Tichenor, Claire Flannagan and Brinna Wolf. On the boys side, senior Cole Eckstein went back to back in State Finals appearances and improved his finish from a year ago (106th) to the 43rd in 2026, cutting nearly 45 seconds off his state finals time. Football claimed the Bishop's Wooden Cannon trophy in the annual Diocesan rivalry game with Lafayette Central Catholic for the 7th time in 10 years. The Golden Eagles season came to an end with a home loss to Bishop Chatard in the opening round of Class 4A Sectional 21. Boys Soccer, (15-1-5) ranked #1 the majority of the year and riding a 32 match unbeaten streak spanning two seasons, fell in the Semi-State Championship. An incredible two year run comes to a close but the Golden Eagles claimed Conference, Sectional and Regional Championships in 2026. Girls Soccer (9-8-2) reached the State Finals for the 5th time in program history and despite early season injuries, the Golden Eagles defeated three top 5 teams en route to the Class 2A State Championship game appearance. The Golden Eagles were defeated by top ranked Evansville Memorial in the final, but made a tremendous and unexpected run through the state tournament. Charlie Phillips became the 4th Guerin Catholic Boys Tennis player to qualify for the individual state finals. He made it to the State Semi-Finals, losing to the eventual state champion, which ties for the best finish by an individual in program history. He finishes his senior year at 17-5.
