The Downfall of Brawl Stars
Brawl Stars was a mobile video game released in 2018 by Supercell that became popular among students at Jesuit High School Sacramento. The game is a fast-paced multiplayer battle where players control characters called brawlers, each with different abilities and play styles. For many years, the game stayed mostly the same and maintained a strong and loyal player base.
Opinion: ‘Stranger Things’ season five, a strange end to a beloved show
Released in late December after a three-year-long hiatus, it is apparent that the writers for the fifth season of “Stranger Things” had a lot to prove to please its audience. With growing impatience from a fanbase that has awaited the newest installment of the hit show, the last season carried very high expectations.
Basketball mid-league update
Basketball Mid-League Update
Jesuit High School Sacramento’s varsity basketball team is off to a good start in league play as they enter the second half of the league season. The Marauders have picked up impressive wins against strong opponents, highlighted by a commanding 56-47 win over Granite Bay.
Opinion: love, loss and loneliness in Chainsaw Man
Perhaps the best movie to come out in October of 2025 was “Chainsaw Man – The Movie: Reze Arc”. This movie, a continuation of the anime series “Chainsaw Man”, was an absolute masterpiece in terms of animation, story, and character development.
Although it took 3 years for the franchise to return after the conclusion of the anime, the wait paid off with 120 immaculate minutes of screen time in theatres. Staying true to its manga (a Japanese comic book), it presented the intricacies of the manga incredibly well.
Loudness in the library
The King Library at Jesuit High School Sacramento is supposed to offer a quiet place on campus that is open for student use throughout the day. However, there’s a problem. For many Jesuit students, the library has become too noisy for focused studying, especially during community and collaboration periods. This is due to students playing games or socializing, often making it difficult for those trying to concentrate.
Opinion: Unsung Supercell games
When most people think of Supercell, three games come to mind: Clash of Clans, Clash Royale, and Brawl Stars. The “big three” have dominated the mobile gaming industry for nearly a decade, keeping teens all over the world addicted to their phones and inspiring memes, tournaments, and communities. However, behind the popular mainstream games lie a collection of underrated gems that never received the attention they deserve.
Opinion: The Revival of Clash Royale
You can’t walk around campus without seeing it. It’s everywhere. From the lunch tables to the classroom, students are glued to their screens, battling it out in Clash Royale. With the goofy animated characters and fast-paced, tower-destroying gameplay, this game has taken over Jesuit High School Sacramento once again.
Holy Bowl Rally: a pillar of brotherhood at Jesuit
