Last Sunday, January 23, Jesuit students squared off in the first day of the 2011 JBA season. With ten teams playing and three hours allotted for games, athletes from all teams left the gym exhausted.  This year features a couple new fixtures atop the leader board, with a surprisingly strong performance from the BC. With two former Jesuit basketball players...
The high school gym stands as an epicenter of school tradition and spirit with its years of pep rallies, games, and events held within its walls. Jesuit's own Walsh Gym follows a similar pattern, being a hub for athletic events and extracurricular activities and is the scene of one of the most competitive clubs Jesuit offers: JBA. The Jesuit Basketball Association, JBA,...
Where can someone with Kendrick Perkins’ talent and Kevin Durant’s passion experience the glory of a game winning three-pointer?  Look no further than Jesuit’s own JBDL tournament. A 4-on-4 intramural basketball league, the Jesuit Basketball Developmental League - or JBDL - offers a casual, less stressful basketball tournament than the Jesuit Basketball Association, which is usually reserved for upperclassmen.  Additionally, “everyone who...

After two weeks of inactivity, Jesuit students gathered once again on Sundays, February 28 and March 6, 2011.

At Jesuit few things are more popular and successful than intramural sports. Almost every Jesuit student competes in one at some point in his career, and no single sport is bigger than basketball. Every year, the Jesuit Basketball Association gathers the school’s best basketball players who don’t play school basketball and play a full season capped off by playoffs....
Heartbreak. Last year’s Jesuit Basketball Association runners-up The Crew (also known as TBC) suffered a brutal, one-point loss in the 2011 title game, a contentious finish tantamount in controversy only to the team’s now-banned jerseys, which depicted the Coors Light mountain logo.   That said, the hangover from defeat hasn’t clouded the team’s mindset going into 2012.  In fact, last year’s...
On January 21, 2010, a group of 10 sophomores came together in room 234 after school for the 2nd annual Jesuit Basketball Developmental League Draft (JBDL).  The JBDL is a Jesuit intramural league for freshmen and sophomores who may not be good enough or serious enough to be a part of the highly competitive school team, but still want a competitive league...
