Whew! The Jesuit golf team hung on to top Holy Cross by a mere two strokes, 159-161. The match took place on Monday, March 23, at Lakewood Golf Club.
Freshman Jake Kuebel lead the way with a 37. Junior Carlo Carino shot a 39, while freshman J.T. Holmes tallied a 40. Senior Francis Plough, junior Johnny Cedro, and freshman Grayson Glorioso all shot 43s. Only the top four scores counted toward the team total.
Jesuit’s top golfer — junior Grant Glorioso — who finished second at the Beau Chene High School Classic on Friday and Saturday, March 21-21, did not play.
The Jays opened the spring season by whalloping Isidore Newman before crushing Country Day.
The Blue Jays face district-rival Brother Martin on Thursday, March 26, at Lakewood. Last week’s match against the Crusaders was rained out.
UPDATE: The March 26 match against Brother Martin has been postponed until Tuesday, April 7. The two teams will play again on Thursday, April 9 to make-up a second match that was postponed earlier in the spring season. Both matches are at Lakewood Golf Club.
