The Louisiana High School season opened up with Brother Martin shutting out their rivals Jesuit New Orleans 29-0 over the weekend.
It was a good showing for a Brother Martin side that has been going from strength to strength.
Brother Martin forced a turnover in Jesuit territority. And with some good phase work and continuity from the Crusaders created some space for first-year wing Brady Barbier, who sped in the score in the corner for a 5-0 lead.
The Blue Jays put some movements together in response but couldn't quite get into good scoring position. So it as Brother Martin that scored the next one when captain Chris G’sell found a gap in the centers and ran in. Jacob Davidson converted and it as 12-0 about 20 minutes in.
Shortly before halftime their backline was again able to find a seam. Davidson was again good on the conversion and the Crusaders led 19-0 at the break.
