The Jesuit soccer team continued its streaky season with a victory over in-state rival Catholic High under the Friday night lights at John Ryan Stadium (JRS). It was a heads-up win for the Blue Jays and a heads-up match for sophomore Maxx Hanemann, who used his cranium in the game’s only score, which came in the final moments of the first half.
 
Junior fullback Gabe Gordon, who scored Jesuit’s game-winning penalty kick against Catholic in the 2018 state quarterfinals, delivered a timely cross that found Hanemann in the perfect position to head the ball into the upper-right corner. Catholic’s goalkeeper was able to reach the tip of the ball, but Hanemann’s header was too powerful to control as it soared toward the net.
 
With the victory over Catholic, the Blue Jays captured the second win of their busy week. The Jays played to a 1-1 draw with Haynes on Tuesday, Jan. 8 but defeated Ben Franklin, 3-0, on the following day.
