A total of 50 Blue Jay scholar-athletes in the Class of 2016 were recognized by the LHSAA for their academic excellence. Among those honored were 19 Blue Jays who made the various statewide Composite Teams. To earn Composite Team honors, these Blue Jays maintained a 4.0 grade point average (on an unweighted scale). From left, Joseph Dupré (wrestling); John James (cross country and track & field); Jonathan Niehaus (tennis); Andrew Nguyen (tennis); Brady Stiller (swimming); Felix Rabito (swimming); Patrick Rye (soccer); Cole Retif (soccer); Connor Maheu (soccer); Edwin Laizer (soccer); Cameron Kaupp (golf); Evan Slattery (football); Joshua Lacoste (football); Peter Hontas (football); Benamin Creel (football); Peyton Ruppert (cross country); Mark Beebe (football, basketball, and baseball); Matthew Miceli (baseball); and Chance Melancon (baseball).
Fifty Blue Jay athletes in the Class of 2016 were honored by the Louisiana High School Athletic Association (LHSAA) for their academic achievements, including two Jays who attained recognition on five different composite teams.
Of those recognized, seven are among the 15 co-valedictorians in the Class of 2016: Benjamin Creel, John James, Cameron Kaupp, Connor Maheu, Cole Retif, Evan Slattery, and Brady Stiller.
Mark Beebe made three of the composite teams (baseball, basketball, and football), while John James was named to two composite teams (cross country and track and field).
The LHSAA/Exxon Mobil All-Academic Award Program presented by ISC recognizes the academic excellence of senior student athletes who have achieved a 3.5 grade point average and higher on an unweighted scale by placing them on the Composite All-Academic Team, Class (5A) All-Academic Team, or Division (1) All-Academic Team.
To earn composite team honors, a student-athlete’s six-semester GPA must be one of the 18 highest in all seven classifications. Composite Teams (all 4.0 students on an unweighted scale) were honored at LHSAA state championship events. The class and division teams are composed of student-athletes with a six-semester GPA of 3.5 – 3.9 (on an unweighted scale).
The coaches, faculty, and administration of Jesuit High School congratulate these Blue Jay scholar-athletes for their outstanding achievements.
