The Football Tradition for the Catholic League
|
Naturally, we did attend the 2007 game and we picked up the story here. This site was updated on 2/17/200/ We still need to go and get the stories for 1996 through 2001. We expect to do so soon. FUTURE PROJECTS: Someone suggested that we might be able to add some digital video of "super plays" to this archive. We are studying that possibility. Also, we will attempt go get team photos from yearbooks to add to each year. |

The Jesuit Blue Jays versus the Holy Cross Tigers series is one of the oldest continuous high school football rivalries known to exist anywhere. We are committed to listing all of the games of this historic series. We do this to honor the memory of all of the people who have participated or currently participate in this rich tradition, whether as players, teachers, coaches, officials, support staff, bandsmen, spectators, family members, and any other interested parties.

Notice to Tiger and Blue Jay fans: 10/29/2006: This site was first published on March 12, 2003. As of November 28, 2004 we have posted the Blue Jay-Tiger game accounts from 1922 through 1995. We have also entered the 2002 game and the 2003 and 2004 entire seasons. Also 2005 and 2006. We expect to have all game accounts entered over the next few months. Keep checking on a weekly basis for new accounts.
We wish to give credit to Ron Brocato’s excellent book.
We urge all of our readers that enjoy the history of New Orleans Prep
football to get a copy for yourself. It
is “The Golden Game” by Ron Brocato and can be purchased at New Orleans area
bookstores and on Amazon.com.
OTHER GAMES: If you have a favorite game that did not involve either Holy Cross or Jesuit, please advise us. Send an email to Ron Gravois. We will post it for you on this site.
Help Wanted: We are seeking more information on Holy Cross, such as each year's annual record, etc. Maybe someone in the HC alumni office can assist. Anybody with Jesuit or HC yearbooks for any years, we might want to get some photos or stories from them, please. Also, we wish to know all of the district champions for all of the years that are now missing.
First Names (and Nicknames) Wanted: We wish to enter the first names of the players in all of the stories and the game lineups. If you can give us the first names and nicknames of any, please do so.
Please advise if you come across any incorrect
information, typographical errors, misspelled names, etc. We aim to be
accurate, but we're human, after all. Contact
Ron Gravois.
