Senior Ben Ainsworth led with a 595 series against Holy Rosary on Jan. 26, 2015.

Jesuit bowling picked up a 20-7 victory over Holy Rosary at AMF All Star Lanes in Kenner on Monday, Jan. 26.

The Blue Jays shot the highest team game of the day with 1,200 in the opening game of the match. Senior Ben Ainsworth led the team with a 595 series.

Coach John Prejean said he is honored to return this season at the request of the five returning seniors. “How can you say no to that?” he said. This year, he is assisted by his son, Andrew Prejean ’14, who competed with these returning players in the 2014 state semifinals.

Coach Prejean added, “I feel like we have a legitimate chance to compete in the final four again.”
