SPRING GAME PREVIEW: The Jesuit High School football team will travel to St. Petersburg to play Gibbs on Friday night (May 29) at 7:00pm in the annual spring game.

The Tigers, entering head coach Matt Thompson’s third season this fall, return a strong nucleus of players and are hoping to build on a 2014 campaign in which the team finished 8-5 and reached the Region Final before losing at unbeaten Orlando Bishop Moore, 30-29 in double overtime.

Jesuit will play the 2015 season on its beautiful new state-of-the-art turf field at Corral Memorial Stadium. More information about the field will be released when the resurfacing is completed in the next 1-2 weeks.
