METAIRIE (WGNO) — John Curtis played great defense in its 2-1 victory over Jesuit on Saturday at John Ryan Stadium. The Patriots turned three double plays including a crucial one that ended the sixth inning.

Senior Michael O’Brien slid home safely in the sixth inning thanks to a Andrew Martinez RBI groundball. O’Brien’s effort to beat the tag turned out to be the game-winning run.
