Baseball 2006

 

The 2006 Jays, had a memorable summer. They started the season with a bang, jumping out to an 8-3 record, and making their first appearance in the CYO championship game. After finishing 2nd to Heelan in the CYO tournament the Jays went south, and fell on hard times. Losing 10 of the last 15 games, the Jays fell to 13-14 after the regular season.

 

But the start of the tournament was all the Jays needed to kick start their dreams. The Jays went on a roll, knocking of K-P, 5th ranked Remsen St. Mary's, and defeating perennial power Spalding Catholic in the District final. Squaring off with a tough Westwood team in the Sub-State clash, the Jays were able to prevail with a 6-0 win, sending the Jays to their 4th state baseball appearance.
