Fate May Have the Two Teams Meeting Again in the Playoffs

Senior quarterback Tanner Lee connected with fellow senior wide receiver Mitch Alexander for two touchdowns. Jesuit freshman kicker Crew Jacobs followed Alexander’s touchdowns with two extra points and Crew sent a kick through the uprights for a field goal.

The Blue Jays’ final district game of the regular season ended with Jesuit on the short end of the score, 24-17, marking the team’s second consecutive loss. As fate would have it, Jesuit may have the rare opportunity to avenge the loss when the first round of playoffs begin next weekend. The Jays are most likely the #11 seed and West Jeff the #22 seed, meaning that Jesuit, for a second consecutive week, will host the Bucs at Tad Gormley. Stay tuned!
