In the opening round of the state soccer playoffs on Friday,  the Blue Jays were more than ready to play Comeaux High of Lafayette. The defending state champion Blue Jays put their playoff game faces on. The serious ones.

Four senior Blue Jays scored five goals in 80 minutes of soccer at John Ryan Stadium. Jesuit’s defense was impenetrable, evidenced by senior goalie Nick Tadros, who touched the ball thrice the entire match. The Jays are in peak condition and it showed. Jesuit’s 11 players never stopped running, from the opening whistle to the three short shrills ending the match.

In Division I, the 27th-seeded Spartans were no match for the 6th-seeded Blue Jays. Fifteen minutes into the second half, and down 3-0, the Spartans looked as if they might not be able to walk to their bus in the parking lot, much less slow down Jesuit on the field.

The Jays needed only nine minutes to notch their first goal with senior striker Will McQueen drilling a corner kick from Evan Kramer into the back of the Spartan net. Senior Gabriel Navar scored a pair of goals, including the all-important second one to put the Jays up, 2-0, before the first half ended. Luke Hahn made it 3-0 and Cameron Coulon, 4-0. Navar hit his second goal of the match around the 75-minute mark to give the Jays a 5-0 win.
