Massive playoff implications for the Jesuit Crusaders and Sunset Apollos, as Jesuit looks to secure a high seed. While the Green and Gold have already established themselves as Metro League champions, they will want to end the regular season and enter playoffs on a high. 

“We want to end the regular season on a good note and a good feeling knowing no matter the outcome that we did our best and tried our best” senior linebacker and wide receiver Tyree Blake said. 

Friday’s matchup will be the first homecoming game in over two years for the Crusaders due to the COVID pandemic. 

“The goal of the team this Friday is to have fun. It’s the first time in 2 years and for some of us, it’s the last. We are all excited to play and ready to beat Sunset!” Blake added. 

Men’s Soccer Playoffs: Round of 32 vs #31 Roseburg

The Crusaders have unfinished business and will look to start a deep playoff run on Saturday versus #31 ranked Roseburg (7-5-2). 

The Round of 32 matchup comes just hours before Jesuit students gather at school for their homecoming dance. 

“It doesn’t matter because we have to be more focused on the game,” junior Drew Pederson said.

The Jesuit Crusaders are riding their own wave into playoffs having finished unbeaten in Metro League play for the third year in a row. This display of immense form is a definitive product of the fantastic individual form by Pederson and senior Spencer Carle. The pair combined for 13 and 7 assists. 

“I’m a bit nervous because for a lot of us it’s our first playoffs, but excited to see how we do,” Pederson explained. 

This will be the first playoff experience for many members of the team with only the 4 senior captains on the team when the Crusaders made it to the quarter finals, falling to Summit from Bend, this years OSAA #1 team going into postseason.

The Crusaders, who after falling to Beaverton in their first Metro League game, finished league play undefeated and reclaimed the overall #1 seed. 

“Claiming that spot took a lot of team effort and motivation, so I’m proud of the team since it wasn’t easy,” senior midfielder Taylor Krueger said.

Jesuit, who has scored 50 goals and only conceded 8 across the season will look to keep that form going to challenge for a state championship. They have the potential to face a couple of teams on their side of the bracket who have given them troubles in #5 Beaverton, #7 Lincoln and #20 Lakeridge. 

“We are ready and excited to play any team that we face since it’s always more exciting and rewarding to beat a higher ranked team,” Krueger added. 

Krueger, a captain on the team, has been a force to be reckoned with, notching 13 goals and 6 assists. She will look to lead the Crusaders to a 3rd state championship in her career. 

Volleyball Playoffs Round of 16 vs #14 West Salem

When: Saturday, October 30 4pm

After winning their Round of 32 game convincingly over the Tualatin Timberwolves, Jesuit turns their attention to the #14 West Salem Titans (18-6). 

“We are focusing on starting strong, being consistent and running plays,” senior Libero Maisie Alexander said. 

The Crusaders, who only dropped an impressive 1 of 37 sets during league play, has faced adversity in their last two tournaments of the regular season. Their foe? None other than statewide #1 seed West Linn. This begs the question, how will the Crusaders be ready for stiffer competition in playoffs?

“I do feel like we are ready for stiffer competition we are taking it one day at a time and focusing on one game at a time,” Alexander explained.
