ShareThe Jesuit basketball team improved its record to 16-2 after three holiday victories at home. The Jays defeated Edna Karr (58-47) on Thursday, Phoenix High of Braithwaite (44-33) on Friday, and Catholic High (68-63) on Saturday. Senior guard Elijah Morgan continues to set the pace for the Jays as the leading scorer, but a balanced attack from his teammates is proving more and more valuable as district play draws near.
