Jesuit Varsity Bowling (10-2) ended its regular season this week with a loss to Brother Martin and a win over Holy Cross. The Blue Jays are currently ranked at No. 9, with the second highest boys power rating in the metro area.

Monday’s Game

Junior Gary Sims won all three of his games against bowling powerhouse Brother Martin Monday, but it wasn’t enough as the Jays fell to the Crusaders at Colonial Lanes in Harahan. Even though it was a tough loss for the Jays there was plenty of spirit to go around from all the student fans a.k.a. the “Gizzard” who turned out to cheer on the bowlers. Sims posted a 684 series, the top series score amongst both teams. Senior Ben Hunn, junior Luke Wood, and sophomore Will Adams also recorded wins.
