In the last home game of the season at Muss Bertolino, the lacrosse team devoted time to honor the seniors and those who stand (or sit) behind them every step of the way.

Friday, March 16

In the latest lacrosse action, Kinkaid school from Houston defeated the Blue Jays by a score of 14-5 on Friday night, March 16. The next game for Jesuit lacrosse is at 6:00 p.m. on Wednesday, March 21 against district foe, Newman. The game will be played at Newman’s home field.

The more important part of the Friday evening at Muss Bertolino playground was the team’s Senior Night celebration. Since it was the final home game of the season, the Blue Jay squad honored its seven seniors and their parents for their dedication and support to the lacrosse program.

James Bradford (32), William Simon (10), Colin Haag (14), Ryan Hamilton (23), Aidan Roberts (21), Parker Edwards (15), and Peyton Queyrouze (22) represent the Jesuit lacrosse team’s senior class.

Jesuit 13, Loyola Prep 1

Saturday, March 10

Jesuit defeated Loyola Prep from Shreveport on March 10 by a score of 13-1.

Head lacrosse coach Saban Sellers shared his thoughts on the team’s progression throughout March, saying:

“The team has been improving considerably throughout the season, and that was evident with statement wins against both Brother Martin and Loyola. Those programs consistently put together great teams, and getting back-to-back wins against strong opponents is a true testament to how hard this team has worked to once again be a top team in the state. We have learned this month that if we play our best lacrosse, we can beat any team in the state.”

The game against traditional rival St Paul’s, which was scheduled to follow the Loyola Prep game, has been moved to March 28.
