Leary guided Jesuit to a regional title last year in his first year as a head coach before falling to three-time defending Michigan High School Athletic Association Division 1 Champion Bloomfield Hills Brother Rice in the state semifinals.

The since falling to Pennsylvania powerhouse Franklin Regional and Mt. Lebanon, the Cubs have been powering past state competition. Jesuit beat Division 2 Warren De La Salle 19-8.on April 2. The Cubs face Troy Athens on April 12.
