Senior Cameron Coulon scored two headers as the Blue Jays defeated Gulfport on Tuesday evening at John Ryan Stadium. Coulon is shown here playing in a game earlier this season.

The Blue Jays welcomed the Admirals of Gulfport High School to John Ryan Stadium for some soccer on Tuesday, Jan. 14, 2014. When this non-district match was over, the bus ride back to the Gulf Coast must have been a quiet one for the Admirals.

That’s because senior Cameron Coulon, coming off the bench to substitute, scored twice in the second half to lead the Jays to a 2-1 victory. Both of Coulon’s goals were headers. Coulon opened the scoring, but the Admirals got right back in it with a goal off a penalty kick. The score remained tied until about six minutes left in the match when Coulon headed in his second goal of the night.

Jesuit was trying to shake off a tough 2-1 loss to Brother Martin last Saturday and the win in a hard-fought game over Gulfport helps, especially since the Blue Jays play the Raiders of Archbishop Rummel on Saturday, Jan. 18. This match is at the Rummel field and kickoff is 2 p.m. The first match between these two teams resulted in a shutout for Jesuit, 5-0.

Looking ahead past Saturday, the Jays will play Holy Cross on Wednesday, Jan. 22 at 4:45 p.m. at John Ryan Stadium. The match has been designated as the Varsity Senior Appreciation Game and parents of senior Blue Jays, along with their player-sons, will be introduced in a brief ceremony that begins at 4:30 p.m.
