Results:

• This week, the Academic Games team wrapped up the local season with a stellar performance, sweeping all four games. Team members include seniors Parker Alig, Max Bartlett, Mason Becker, Charlie Garitty, Dylan Patel, and Christian Smith. This extraordinary feat is a rarity in the New Orleans league, with the last instance of such a dominating performance dating back to 2019, when, once again, it was our Jesuit High School team that stood atop the podium. The team will now advance to compete in the national tournament in Atlanta next month.
• Yesterday, the juniors had a dominating performance over the seniors 30 – 14 in the ALL STAR Game. All Star week concludes with the senior vs faculty basketball game in Benson Arena at lunch.
