The dual match between Jesuit and Brother Martin on Tuesday, April 9 at Lakewood was the final one of the spring season. When the two rivals dualed at Lakewood two weeks ago, the Crusaders won by two strokes. So the Jays on Tuesday were not only looking to avenge this earlier loss to the Crusaders, but also pocket the district championship in the process.

The Blue Jay golfers accomplished both objectives on what was a blustery afternoon on Lakewood’s front nine, par 36 course. Coach Owen Seiler ’75 selected a team composed of senior Nick Ingles, juniors Will Dufour and C.J. Blagrove, and freshmen Grant Glorioso and Carlo Carino. Only the four lowest scores factored into Jesuit’s team total of 154. Those low scores were turned in by Ingles (37), Dufour (37), Glorioso (39), and Carino (41).

Jesuit will compete in a bi-district tournament on Tuesday, April 16 at Lakewood. Each team will field five golfers for the 18-hole tournament. The regionals will be held April 23 at Carter Plantation in Hammond.

The LHSAA state tournament is April 29-30 at East Ridge Country Club in Shreveport.
