You are correct. That Struthers game crowd at South looked like a Mooney-Ursuline crowd of that day, 14-15K.
The 1968 Mooney-Struthers and Ursuline-Struthers scores were also a harbinger of what was to come after the two ex-City Series teams joined the Steel Valley Conference. Struthers nipped Mooney 7-6 after Mooney two-time All-City FB Bob Mogulich went down with an injury on the 2nd or 3rd play of the 2nd half. Mooney led 6-0 and he had averaged over 6.0 YPC in the 1st half and gained 12 or 13 on the play he was injured on. He just landed awkwardly and broke his collar bone, a season ending injury. He was a big part of their offense and Mooney ended up 5-4 without him. Ursuline tied the Cats 6-6 in week 10. In their 6 SVC games that season Struthers averaged 43.5 PPG.
The '68 Struthers vs Ursuline tilt was actually in week 11 as that was an option in those days if your team wanted (or had to have) a bye. Mooney had used week 11 in previous years to play Canton Central Catholic. Along with the Irish, the Cards competed against CCC for a mythical Diocesan championship. In week 10 that year Ursuline visited Boardman for their inaugural game. I remember the freezing winds that whipped around Spartan Stadium that cold night. Boardman rolled, 21-0 and very few gave UHS much of a chance against Struthers at Rayen a week later.
Wasn't Mogulich himself from Struthers? I know St. Nicholas was a major Mooney feeder.
The Irish & CCC met annually from 1945-1967 but have only faced off a few times since. In those days THAT was the big Diocesan showdown but all of that changed after the arrival of Mooney (for Ursuline) and Aquinas (for Central). The Youngstown Diocese was formed off of Cleveland by Pius XII in 1943 at the height of WW2. Mooney, Aquinas, JFK, St. Christine, and many others kept Bishop Walsh busy in those days dedicating a new school or parish church most every weekend. This was true of Dioceses throughout the US. In the Cincinnati Archdiocese Moeller, LaSalle, McNicholas, McAuley, Marian, Fenwick, Kettering Alter, & Dayton Carroll were among the many that kept the Archbishop blessing and dedicating most weekends. Truly a different time.
Other meetings that have practically evaporated were
Brookfield vs. SVC foes. I think the Warriors were members for under a decade and in-over- their-heads in football. I know they had great BB teams along with their archrival Hubbard in the mid 60s. The Warriors leaving the league in '68 allowed the parochials to slide into open SVC slots when they had to scramble for games in '68. I don't think that Brookfield has played former conference foes Fitch, Boardman, or Struthers since.
