Jesuit didn't let much get past them through the air: they limited University to a completion percentage of just 40%. The team can thank Luke Battaglia for the heroic effort on defense: he. Jesuit has been improving in that area: they had allowed a completion percentage of 0.59 earlier this season, but they've only allowed one of 0.59 in their last three games.

McNeil is also crushing it when it comes to defended passes: he's defended at least one every time he's taken the field this season. Jesuit received some extra help from Macho Mendez, whose fumble return for a touchdown made for one of the most unforgettable moments.
