In the 54th minute, José Aleman lobs a pass to Braden Brignac (26) whose flick header sends the ball ricocheting just inside the near post, a perfectly placed goal and an impossible shot to defend.

José Aleman scored twice and Chase Rushing and Braden Brignac each hit one goal to lead Jesuit to a decisive 4-1 win over Newman on Saturday afternoon at John Ryan Stadium. It was the sixth consecutive win for the district champion Blue Jays whose in-state record is 17-0-3.
