Holy Spirit Spartans

After 15 seasons as the head basketball coach at Holy Spirit, Jamie Gillespie will not be returning for his 16th season.

It’s the second title in six years for the Spartans, who beat Rutgers Prep in 2015 during Steve Normane’s first stint as head coach.

Kevin Jaxel was in command from the very start, and helped his own cause by blasting a three-run homer in the top of the third that gave the Ironmen (4-0) an early 4-0 lead.

Freshman Alexandria Graffius made history on Wednesday night.

The Braves finished the season 10-1, including 9-1 in the CAL North, edging out Holy Spirit — the only team to beat Absegami this year.

The Holy Spirit girls were down 24-6 in the first half against visiting Absegami.

Week 4 of the high school football season saw some good games all across South Jersey with big wins from Holy Spirit, St. Joe's, St. Augustine and Ocean City.

Patrick Smith racked up 362 yards — a single game record among Cape-Atlantic League schools.

Holy Spirit quarterback Trevor Cohen finished 7-of-12 for 213 yards and three touchdowns to lead the Spartans past St. Joe's Academy.

Holy Spirit knocked off St. Joe's in the Non-Public Group 2 Finals last season at Rutgers, 38-0.
