One of the senior teams plays against the winning junior team.

On February 12, 2022, student government held a men’s volleyball tournament for all-male identifying students at Jesuit.

Similar to the annual women’s flag football tournament, participants were split into teams based on grade level. Due to the large number of senior class participants, there were three senior teams.

Teams faced off in one set to 25 points, double elimination, aiming to make it to the finals and take it all.

After the preliminary matches, the juniors moved on to the semifinals to play the sophomores, and senior team 1 advanced to play senior team 3.

The sophomores made it difficult, but the juniors pulled ahead and won the match to advance to the finals. Senior team 3 also pulled out a win to compete for the coveted title of Jesuit men’s volleyball champions.

Both teams went all out, with the seniors pulling ahead early in the game in a 10-2 lead. It was a close match, but the juniors managed to make a comeback to beat senior team number 3 in the finals, bringing home a win for the class of 2023.
