Jesuit High School Club Sports

Blue Jay Lacrosse fields four teams — varsity, junior varsity (JV), “frosh” (grades 9 and 10), and “U15” (8th grade). The four teams have a total of 15 coaches, including four assigned to the varsity squad. Lacrosse is almost a year-round club sport at Jesuit with fall and winter/spring schedules. The fall schedule starts in October and runs through Thanksgiving (varsity may go longer), and the winter/spring season is January through April. In summer, a lacrosse club travels to play other teams. Jesuit also offers well-supervised lacrosse summer camps. Players may also participate in conditioning and indoor fun lacrosse throughout the summer. New players are assigned team big brothers (in addition to Jesuit’s regular big brother program). The new players may participate in summer camps. indoor conditioning, and “wall ball,” helping them become connected even before their formal Jesuit school experience begins. As the league has grown, Blue Jays have led the sport beyond the high school level by helping to develop lacrosse programs for inner city youths, including girls. |

Lacrosse Wins Championship in Battle by the Beach Invitational for Second Consecutive Year
Members of the lacrosse team are all smiles after winning the Battle by the Beach tournament in Gulfport, MS.
For the second consecutive year, Jesuit’s varsity lacrosse team took home first place medals from the Battle by the Beach Lacrosse Invitational in Gulfport, Mississippi. The tournament concluded on Sunday, March 24 with a thrilling 9-8 overtime victory against rival Brother Martin. In Saturday’s preliminary play, the Blue Jays easily defeated Catholic of Baton Rouge, Dutchtown, and John Carroll (Birmingham, AL).
Coach Mike Brantley’s squad qualified for the championship game by defeating rival St. Paul’s, 7-3, on Sunday morning. The Jays beat St Paul’s for their first state title in April 2012. But in January 2013, the Jays dropped a season opener against the Wolves in pre-district play, losing a four-goal lead at halftime. In February at the Allstate Collegiate Sugar Bowl Classic, Jesuit faced St Paul’s in a showcase game. Jesuit lost in overtime following a disputed call on a shot on goal by the Jays. Hence, when Sunday morning arrived and Jesuit and St. Paul’s were facing each other for a third time this season, an exciting match was anticipated. St. Paul’s proved to be a worthy opponent, but the Jays prevailed, winning the match, 7-3. In the championship game of the tournament, the Jays played another rival, Brother Martin, who tied the game, 8-8, in the final 30 seconds to force the match into overtime. Junior Arman Alizadeh dodged under his defender and around the goalie to place a neat corner shot into the far side of the goal, giving the Jays a 9-8 victory and the tournament championship.
