The high school gym stands as an epicenter of school tradition and spirit with its years of pep rallies, games, and events held within its walls. Jesuit's own Walsh Gym follows a similar pattern, being a hub for athletic events and extracurricular activities and is the scene of one of the most competitive clubs Jesuit offers: JBA.

It’s going to be a great year for...
Where can someone with Kendrick Perkins’ talent and Kevin Durant’s passion experience the glory of a game winning three-pointer?  Look no further than Jesuit’s own JBDL tournament. A 4-on-4 intramural basketball league, the Jesuit Basketball Developmental League - or JBDL - offers a casual, less stressful basketball tournament than the Jesuit Basketball Association, which is usually reserved for upperclassmen.  Additionally, “everyone who...

The JBA is an intramural basketball league that all Jesuit students can take part in. The league was created nine years ago and has been very successful.

"Excitement." When asked to describe the Jesuit Basketball association (JBA) in one word, Mr. Ken Howell, 'The Commish," chose this to encapsulate his feelings about the league. JBA, a student-run basketball league, gives a more "structured" and "competitive" atmosphere than do Jesuit Basketball Divisional League (JBDL) and Intramural basketball, and allows students a greater sense of participation and ownership.
