Jupiter Christian has cemented themselves as not just a forced to be reckoned with locally, but also a Sunshine State Athletic’s Association power house. Following a 10-3 record in 2024, including a 37-35 victory over St Joseph Academy in the SSAA title game, the Eagles soared through the off-season, and entered their 2025 campaign red hot, opening the season 4-1.

While Coach Baz Alfred‘s squad has rolled through the beginning of the regular season, there are two individuals in particular we’re going to honor in this piece. During JCS’ 47-28 victory over Foundation Academy, two Eagle upperclassmen, 2026 WR/S Cayden Alula and 2027 DB Luke Beach, cemented themselves as the best to don the red white and black.

Cayden Alula

During his 5 catch, 120 yard and 2 touchdown showing vs Foundation Academy, JCS’ Senior Wide Receiver, Cayden Alula made headlines for other reasons. Alula now holds Jupiter Christian’s career receiving yards record, with 1,620 yards and counting.

At 6 foot 1, Cayden Alula has solidified himself as one of South Florida’s best-yet underrated receiving threats. Alula shines in single coverage, with the ability to use his physicality and natural athleticism to his advantage, coming down with every contested 1 on 1 ball thrown his way. Cayden Alula shines just as much in the classroom as he does under the Friday Night Lights, boasting a more than impressive 4.4GPA and donning numerous Ivy-League Offers including Penn, Brown and Dartmouth, but committed to the United States Naval Academy over the summer.

Luke Beach

While his last name might be Beach, Jupiter Christian’s star defensive back puts opposing wide receivers on an Island. During his breakout sophomore campaign, Luke Beach recorded a team high five interceptions and 6 pass breakups.

During Jupiter Christian’s route against Foundation Academy, Beach recorded his first INT of the year, breaking JCS’ career interceptions record with 13 and counting. Offensively, Luke Beach is just as effective, as he recorded 110 yards receiving and one score vs Foundation.

Luke Beach currently boasts a 4.21GPA and has one offer from Rhode Island.

Congratulations to both of these talented young men who have cemented themselves as Jupiter Christian AND Palm Beach County legends. This week, the Jupiter Christian Eagles take their talents on the road to face the 0-4 Master’s Academy on Friday, September 19.
