The Marauders went -12 vs. Pleasant Grove to finish in 2nd place
in the Delta River League. Jesuit will face Vacaville on
Wednesday, May 16 at 4 pm @ Sacramento City College in the first
round of the CIF sac-Joaquin Section Division 1 Play-offs.
JV and frosh both won league titles.
The Marauders had a great week, going 3-0 in taking the series
from the Sheldon Huskies. The Marauders will play Pleasant
Grove Monday-Wednesday this week for the league
championship. JV also went 3-0 over Sheldon last
week. Frosh went 3-0. JV & Frosh teams both won
their league championships this season.
NEW HAVEN, Conn. — The Yale University baseball
team celebrated its year-end banquet on Monday, electing third
baseman Chris Piwinski (Folsom, Calif.) as captain for the 2013
season while also honoring seven players with team awards.
“Chris is a great choice for captain,” Yale head coach John
Stuper said. “Since his sophomore year he has shown excellent
leadership qualities.”
Piwinski also received the Paul Sortal Award, which goes to the
player who makes the most of his ability.
The Marauders had a great week, going 4-0 beating Folsom 3 times
and Christian Brothers 6-5 in 9 innings at the 4th Annual Albie
Swingin’ for Life Showcase. Jesuit is 8-1 in DRL play, tied for
1st with Pleasant Grove. JV Baseball was also 3-0 this week
defeating Ponderosa (3X). Frosh baseball had a busy week
making up previous rain-outs. The Marauders went 4-1 on the
week.
BOSTON — The Red Sox will welcome a familiar face back into the
clubhouse on Monday in Minneapolis, when first baseman/outfielder
Lars Anderson is promoted from Triple-A Pawtucket.
Anderson spent time on the Major League roster the last two
seasons, hitting .175 with no homers and four RBIs in 40 at-bats.
The prospect has been knocking on the door for a couple of years
and had a big Spring Training, hitting .343 with one homer and
eight RBIs.
Vinnie Catricala says he “kind of flew under the radar a little
bit” early in his minor league career.
That’s not the case anymore. Not after the Jesuit High School
graduate was named the Seattle Mariners’ Minor League Player of
the Year in 2011, hitting a combined .349 with 25 home runs and
106 RBIs between Class A and Double A.
Jesuit High School’s tradition of winning has made its way to
Sacramento State’s baseball field this season through three of
its players.
The trio of senior Trevor Paine, sophomore Justin Higley and
freshman Rhys Hoskins all chose to stay close to home, turning in
their red and gold Jesuit uniforms into green ones.
Second-year head coach Reggie Christiansen wasted no time
recruiting Higley and Hoskins to solidify the outfield.
The Marauders travelled to sunny Anaheim to participate in the
28th Annual Anaheim Lions Tourney. Jesuit went 3-2 on the
trip with wins over Capistrano Valley, Valencia and JSerra.
Jesuit opened league play this past week vs. Oak Ridge.
Jesuit won Game 1 on a walk-off homer by Andre Gregory, while
Logan James threw a 2-hitter. Jesuit lost Game 2 in the
7th, but rebounded to take Game 3 (6-3). The Marauders are
in 2nd place in the DRL League standings (1 game behind Pleasant
Grove).
Matt Wiesenfarth has been selected to participate in the U.S.
Under-20 National Team training camp in Portland, Ore., joining
24 players from both Major League Soccer club teams and some of
the top collegiate programs in the country.
Wiesenfarth, the reigning Big West Conference Freshman of the
Year, will train for a week alongside eight professionals, 10
collegians and six development academy players.
Former Jesuit High School standout Justin Higley hit a two-run
homer and backed a complete game by Brennan Leitao as visiting
Sacramento State defeated Louisiana Tech 2-1 Saturday in a
Western Athletic Conference baseball game, Sac State reported.
The Hornets (15-16, 1-1) ended a three-game losing streak with
their win over the Bulldogs (16-15, 1-1) in Ruston, La.
Higley’s two-out homer in the third inning scored Hunter Adrian,
who had a leadoff double.
By Jeff CaraskaFormer Jesuit infielder Vinnie Catricala didn’t
make the Seattle Mariners’ roster to start the season, but the
23-year-old certainly seems to be in the team’s short-range
plans.
Last season, Catricala was the Mariners’ Minor League Player of
the Year. Between Class A and Double A, he hit .349 with 25 home
runs and 106 RBIs. Catricala, who opened eyes this spring in
Arizona by hitting .313 with two homers and seven RBIs, is
assigned to the Tacoma Rainiers, the Mariners’ Triple-A team.
Chris Blees, The Bee’s 2007 boys basketball Player of the Year
while at Jesuit High School, capped a stellar career at Claremont
McKenna College in Southern California by being named to the
National Association of Basketball Coaches All-America Third Team
for NCAA Division III.
The 6-foot-5, 230-pound Blees, a forward, also was named to the
NABC Western District First Team.
Former Jesuit High School player Stephen Ostapeck was named the
Big East Pitcher of the Week today, marking the second time this
season that the Villanova junior has won the award.
Ostapeck is coming off a three-hit shutout in an 8-0 victory over
St. John’s on Saturday afternoon.
Ostapeck retired 13 consecutive St. John’s batters at one point
and allowed two walks and hit a batter in addition to the three
hits.
Finding a spot in the everyday lineup for freshman Rhys Hoskins
is a good problem for Sacramento State baseball coach Reggie
Christiansen.
Hoskins, a Jesuit High School graduate, went 3 for 5 with a grand
slam, a double and five RBIs in the Hornets’ 11-3 rout of
visiting Dartmouth on Thursday. It was the opener of a five-game
series against the Big Green, with a doubleheader scheduled for
noon today after Friday’s game was postponed because of rain.
During the recent 2012 Columbus Grand Prix competition — the
fourth stop on the 2011-2012 USA Swimming Grand Prix Series –
Arden Hills swim athlete and University of Southern California
(USC) sophomore Nick Johnson successfully made his 400-meter free
Olympic trials cut on Saturday, March 10. The 2012
Columbus Grand Prix took place March 9-11 in Columbus, Ohio.
The Sacramento Chapter of the National Football Foundation honors local scholar-athletes at its yearly banquet on March 9, 2012 at the Elks Club on Riverside Boulevard.
Congratulations to our Jesuit scholar-athletes, JT Frank and Parker Abercrombie.
Listed below are the other high school and college scholor-athletes being honored that night and the schools they attend.
There are no breaks in the Delta River League. No time for rest.
No easy games to circle on the schedule.
The Sheldon High School boys basketball team had seemingly seen
just about everything in the preseason, from playing in national
tournaments to neutral-site games against teams from the Bay
Area.
Constructing the toughest schedule of any Sac-Joaquin Section
team was expected to prepare them for the rigors of arguably the
top basketball league in Northern California.
Chico State senior point guard Jay Flores, a 2007 Jesuit
graduate, has made the Capital One Academic All-West Region team
for his excellence in the classroom and on the court.
Only athletes with cumulative GPAs of 3.30 or higher who have
played in at least 75 percent of their team’s games are eligible
for Academic All-Region honors.
Flores, a business major, is now eligible for Academic
All-America honors as well. That announcement will come on Feb.
22.
SACRAMENTO, Calif. (KCRA) — Thirteen
student-athletes from Jesuit High School signed letters of intent
to play college sports on National Signing Day, adding to a long
list of others who preceded them at the school.
“This is a big deal. I’ve waited a long time for this,” said
Christopher Macasaet, who accepted a golf scholarship from the
University of Pacific.
Student-athletes who signed letters of intent at Jesuit High
School added to the school’s tradition of athletic excellence.

TUCSON, Ariz. – For New Mexico’s John Catlin, it was pretty much
like taking a calm stroll in the park.
For host team Arizona, it was an intense, nail-biting,
down-to-the-wire thriller in the desert.
When it was all said and done, Catlin and the Wildcats walked
away from Arizona National Golf Club on Tuesday carrying the
first-place trophies from the 32nd Arizona Intercollegiate.
Jesuit (Division I), Antelope (D-II), Foothill (D-III), Modesto
Christian (D-IV), Capital Christian (D-V) and Victory Christian
(D-VI) are the top seeded boys basketball teams in the first
Sac-Joaquin Section power ratings released today.
In D-I, Sheldon is seeded No. 2, Bethel of Vallejo No. 3 and West
of Tracy No. 4. Other area teams ranked among the top 16 are No.
5 Franklin, No. 6 Burbank, No. 7 Pleasant Grove, No. 8 Kennedy,
No. 10 Oak Ridge and No. 14 Granite Bay.
The Jesuit basketball team was too fast and too strong for
Pleasant Grove of Elk Grove on Wednesday in Carmichael.
The Eagles, ranked No. 3 in the region by The Sacramento Bee,
played a great first quarter but let the rest of the game go to
the No. 2 Marauders. With a final score of 75-57, Jesuit was too
much for Pleasant Grove.
At one point during tonight’s Delta River League boys basketball
showdown between No. 2 Jesuit and No. 3 Pleasant Grove, a
Pleasant Grove fan bellowed, “Where’s Uu!”
It wasn’t in the form of a question.
It was a frustrated plea to Pleasant Grove’s on-their-heels
defenders to keep their eyes on Jesuit senior sharpshooter Parker
Uu.
The 6-foot-4, 210-pound guard seemed to be everywhere on the
floor, hitting bombs from long range or using his sturdy frame to
score inside.
BERKELEY – Former California All-Americans Blaine Scully and
Colin Hawley have accepted contracts funded by the United States
Olympic Committee to train full-time at the Olympic Training
Center in Chula Vista, Calif., with the U.S. National 7s Team.
By accepting these contracts, Scully and Hawley have placed
themselves among the first-ever players to sign such deals with
USA Rugby.
Bryce, a senior forward, was a 3-time All Tourney selection in
the month of December (Fr. Barry Christmas Classic, Gridley
Invitational & San Dune Classic), helping lead Jesuit to two
tourney championships and a runner-up finish. Pressley
averaged 13.4 pts, 7.6 rebounds & 2.1 blocks per game for the
month of December. Bryce is a key contributor to the #1
ranked Marauders, and hopes to help guide them to a Delta River
League Championship.
If there is one Sacramento-area high school basketball team that
has been a top contender almost every season, the Jesuit
Marauders are usually in the conversation.
During the last five of seven season, the Carmichael school
earned winning records and playoff appearances, including
Sac-Joaquin Section titles during the 2005-06 and 2006-07
seasons.
Jesuit (13-3), Sheldon (11-3) and Pleasant Grove (15-1) – The
Bee’s top three ranked teams, respectively – excelled in the
preseason despite each taking on top competition throughout the
state and beyond.
Their reward?
More white-knuckle games with the start of Delta River League
play, which, with No. 12 Oak Ridge (9-6) and No. 14 Folsom
(10-7), should really be called the Delta “Super” League.
Saturday’s 10th annual Father Kelly Tribute at Jesuit High School
will feature four games involving some of Northern California’s
top boys basketball players and six teams ranked in the NorCal
Top 20 by NorCalPreps.com.
The Father Kelly event has become a good midseason barometer of
how some of the area’s teams stack up with those from the Bay
Area.
Jesuit senior guard Parker Uu has been on the other side of the
rivalry with Rio Americano.
Uu played for the Raiders as a freshman before transferring to
Jesuit, located less than a mile away, in his sophomore season.
So when the Marauders student section erupted as if it witnessed
Jesuit capture a state title when Uu hit the first two free
throws in the first quarter on Friday night, the now senior felt
the full force of what this rivalry means.
With next weekend’s bowl blitz officially capping the high school
football season, is it too late to peek ahead to next year?
Here’s a look at who should be some of the top teams coming into
the season and some top players, too. As for returning players,
we invite input from readers. We have only so many eyes and ears,
and some coaches down play their returning guys as to keep a low
under-the-radar profile.
A look at The Bee’s top 20 high school boys basketball teams.
TOP 20 TEAMS
1. JESUIT (4-0)
The 2010-11 Sac-Joaquin Section Division I runners-up have depth,
talent and experience, led by top returners Parker Uu, Bryce
Pressley, Akachi Okugo and Brian Glodowski. The Marauders beat
Texas power Strake Jesuit of Houston in Saturday’s Father Barry
Christmas Classic title game.
Two parochial basketball powers will meet tonight for the
championship of the 38th Annual Father Barry Christmas Classic
tournament at Jesuit High School in Carmichael.
Host Jesuit will play Strake Jesuit of Houston, Texas, in the
6:30 p.m. final, the last of four games on the day.
Strake Jesuit is led by college scholarship signees John Gillon
(Arkansas-Little Rock) and Rasheed Sulaimon (Duke).
Parker Uu scored 22 points, Akachi Okugo 15 and Bryce Pressley 13
in leading Jesuit past Strake Jesuit of Houston 68-55 in
tonight’s Father Barry Christmas Classic basketball tournament
championship game at Jesuit.
Duke signee Rasheed Sulaimon led the Texas team with 21 points.
Sheldon defeated Bishop O’Dowd of Oakland 73-65 in the third
